   If you want better baggage treatment on airlines, just stick a gun in checked baggage. I have found that putting a gun in my checked baggage and declaring it gets my bag VERY special treatment. It gets special tagging and individual handlin

   Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I just copy the link and bring it to the computer I'm using to open directly there.

   Multiple times I've caught coworkers starting a gotomeeting/zoom meeting in their VDI and they can't figure out why they can't use their LOCAL USB conference microphone/speaker array. Yet another use case where VDI

   Left blank white square. Right OSM map. Is this a prank or broken? What year did OSM come out?

   Comment above yours says NFC, so the black ones I think. Seems they don't send the email deal right away, not for me anyway.

   It is. I'm guessing the thinking is that ANY 2FA is better than none.

   Lol, again I'm hearing numbers carry the VoIP tag permanently vs not. It doesn't seem to be consistent to say the least. I bought my number from GV (changed) and it carries the stigma. Read peoples experiences in porting from serv

   I keep hearing back and forth on this, you would hope that this gets updated every once in a while but seems like mixed results. I don't even know what the process is called to research this.

    I feel like your situation kicked up a fraud/loss prevention lockout. Your experience with low level support; nothing they can do about it at their level. I don't know where you call home but in the US we have small claims court.

    Ebay and Uber are more. Lots of banks reject VoIP too.

    I get it, but it's still sad. Lots of places reject my Google Voice number, just because it's VoIP. I've had that number for ten years and the account it is under is protected by a popular security key. But that Prepaid SIM I

    I never understood the thinking behind banning VoIP. I understand the ease that attackers can make and use new numbers but if I'm using a VoIP number to receive 2FA SMS wouldn't it be more secure to have that tied to a VoIP number

    We have seen reports that apple can remotely enable icloud backups and then trigger a backup.

    I believe you are right. I tried to return a heavy trailer lock as it was the wrong size. Full refund and they did not want it back.

    Seriously, dealing with government entities is a PITA. Life is much easier in private sector.

    Why would I change my entire business model to deal with this? Just skip this customer and move on.

    If I was the software developer forced into this I'd just raise my price knowing I can no longer sell it elsewhere, IF I even agreed to it. That's going to hurt tax payers. It's a catchy title but just doesn't take more

    Absolutely. There are block lists out there that can help but they are unlikely to be perfect. This guy seems to be up to date; https://github.com/oneoffdallas/dohservers

    Fortunately you are in an excellent position to be able to just stop everything and think long and hard on what will make you happy. Myself personally and I imagine a lot of other people out there are in the same boat, minus the money to be

    It feels like we had a little golden age where we explored the limit of what connected devices and open information sharing could do for everyone and that was interesting. Now we have seen that can have some bad sides too. We've come d

    We came to the same conclusion. We do hosing for commercial HVAC systems and due to software requirements and the human factor of training the VM's we had in azure cost us significantly more than on premises servers. Add to that we gen

    That was an amazing cover, I like both artists but Johnny Cash just blew that out of the park. Combined with his death just a few years later too, man. "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode was also a excellent example.
