Successful disruptors start with one small problem (tick) in an established market (tick), use a small team (tick) and move fast and break things while they work out what sticks. If it doesn't, being small and flexible lets them pivot without wasting tons of resources. Have fun, enjoy yourself and be prepared to switch up your plan at short notice. Today's ambitious youngster is tomorrow's market leader, nothing dominates forever.

Don't be nasty.

That's not what OP said.

You're thinking about the public interest wrong, this is not a public interest decision. To me you do clearly have legitimate interests to use the data in this way though, even though that seems to outweigh the privacy interests of the subjects.

IANAL but if you PM me the contract I can armchair it for you in confidence.

If you have the cabling to do it, I'd run both switches together and connect all your edges to both, with RSTP (properly configured!) to manage the links. Then you have a hot spare and won't even notice a failure, instead of a cold spare time bomb. It's too easy for cold configurations to drift and you don't want to discover dead cold hardware when the primary fails.

You could transfer the car into a limited company and own 50% shares each. I do not actually recommend making it this complicated though 😄

Eaton over APC for me. They're much easier to monitor.

Sounds like the platform is trying to act as an introductory agency for independent tutors and avoid any responsibility except collecting the money (surprise). Where did the word employ come from, do they say that? Because that is significant. Send a cat to meet their pigeons and ask for a model employment contract as part of your due diligence. Their response will tell you a lot.

The colours aren't reliable nor important. The only thing which matters is the spec written on the cable.

You don't say much about who the contract is on behalf of or what it is meant to achieve, but try https://www.rocketlawyer.com/gb/en/search?query=Sla for some ideas

This not a FOI matter, it's a data protection issue. Make a subject access request for all personal data held about you including but not limited to CCTV data and remind them of their obligations not to weed or filter such data before disclosure. If you only get that one moment and not your other recent comings and goings from the house you know they almost certainly weeded. Complain formally to the governing body and the information commissioner in the meantime. Talk to Citizens Advice for help getting the text right. (Not legal advice, NaL, get legal advice, Citizens Advice, etc.) Monitoring a private house like this is an outrageous abuse and if the view of your front door is reasonable it's probably possible to see in through the front windows to some extent as well...

If a man can step back from his existing solution and document all his users' requirements in plain language he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and suitable solutions will come to him.

Why were you changing resellers in the first place? Maybe the extra month is just the price of switching and being sure not to end up with a gap.
