Read below for how that compares to other password sizes! ⬇️

In comparison:
- An 8-character password would take minutes to hours to crack
- A 10-character password would take days to months to crack
- A 12-character password would take hundreds to thousands of years to crack

Another niche job for the Geek's history books.⚡️
A customer of ours recently had a laser cutting machine that couldn't connect to the internet, so our technician Anthony was called in to do some serious troubleshooting and get it back up and running.
Mission accomplished!

In the early days of Geeks on Wheels, our first billboard went up in Miramar Cutting and drew us lots of attention! However after struggling with council red tape we came up with an alternative solution. We bought a 1981 Bedford CF230! Our now infamous mobile billboard! 🚐
