Came here to say this. I moved my family (and our family domain) into Zoho and love it. It also has better features than Google in many areas. ( cough re-ordering filters cough )

All arguments about age checks themselves aside, why can BlueSky implement age checks in the UK, but not Mississippi? Seems to me like the only difference would be Mississippi requiring everyone to log in, whereas currently I assume UK req

Except that the AIM protocol was reverse-enginnereed and you could then use a single client (GAIM/Pidgeon, Trillian) to talk to all your friends. The protocols nowadays are so locked down that there has yet to be a decent 3rd party im

Also, 56kbps was the MAX POSSIBLE speed. 48kbps was the maximum speed I ever remember seeing, with somewhere around 42kbps being more common. Occasionally I would connect at 36kbps, see the speed, hang up and try again.

In addition to this, there will always be 2 sets of "primary" colors for a given eye: Additive and Subtractive. Additive primary colors are necessary when you have no light, and need to create color. Think a black screen, and you

Progress bars are very hard. I implemented a PowerShell progress bar in a script I wrote, and even that was hard. The script did a nested iteration, deleting objects and re-starting the iteration. I updated the progress bar based on comp

Is it actually? There is no explicit carve-outs in fair use laws for the use-case of thunbnails that I'm aware of, so where is the case law on this?

We don't need the FCC to push fast broadband, we need to break up the stranglehold duopoly that phone and cable companies have on cities. If Google can't stomach dealing with them to create more competition, what chance does anyo

Going Mac in an enterprise environment is a stupid move. Apple is constantly changing how MDM works. One week they'll go all-in on some method of doing things, and tell everyone they must comply or GTFO. The next week they'll

Define "pretty beefy", because in my research $40 will only get you something like 8 vCPU and 16GB RAM.

Have you seen a cloud bill recently!? My buddy worked for a company that was spending a million on their monthly AWS bill. You can easily buy all your own infra, plus hire an engineer or two for the price that some of these companies ar

Yeah. I found the same thing. Cars would disappear in front of me, then I reached the end of the world and it reset me. I'm not sure I believe this is AI, and instead some crappy street view interface.

That's not actually a Dutch Auction. Sounds more like the "eBay ascending uniform-price mechanism". (From the same Wikipedia article)

Since you already work as an automation engineer, it might be a bit harder since programming is probably part of your job, but this is what I did at a previous company: I wrote up a contract basically saying that since programming large pro

It would have to be approved; there is no way for lay-users to install/configure TM-SGNL in their own; it needs to be deployed via MDM. Source: I'm the admin who installs TM-SGNL for many users.

Why is nobody talking about what a shady business practice it is that cloud providers don't alert you to this kind of overage by default? Sure, you can set up alerts, but when you go 10x over your baseline in a short period of time, t

Can we all stop equating speed with being unsafe? I've heard this BS stat that speed is a factor in car deaths. If speed were really so dangerous, then planes would be one of the least safe methods of travel. The real problem is peop
