That's a similar line of thought I followed when migrating away from Gmail last year. I was considering Skiff or Fastmail. Skiff was just over a year old with over $10 million in VC funding. Fastmail is 20+ years old and is funded by t

Why is it cheaper to have one shift work on a road project that takes months, compared to three shifts working around the clock making the project take 1/3rd of the time? I've always vaguely wondered that when driving through cons

This is only tangentially related, but I'm curious how other companies typically balance their endpoint management and security software with developer productivity. The company I work for is now running 5+ background services on their

Kind of a edge case, but we were attempting to migrate from Docker to Podman, and found running x86 container images in Podman Desktop on M-series Macs to be unacceptably slow. Docker Desktop supports Rosetta 2 virtualization which performs

You can resell clothes. You can't resell skins in most games, including Overwatch.

Referring to other people as "townies/normies" seems like you're already looking down on them and not wanting to make any effort in getting along with them.

It might be healthy to socialize with people who don't share your music, food, memes, and lifestyle (values perhaps being the exception where you'd still need to align). Living in a bubble and interacting only with people exactl

I assumed the long essays were for SEO (inflates the amount of cooking-related keywords). Which would make it kind of ironic that another Google product is now stripping the SEO content back out.

Except it's terrible for that (if you care about the condition of your books) because they did away with their book-specific packaging, and now just toss books in a box or bubble mailer with no protection. The majority of the time they

You can also sit out on your porch or deck in the morning before work with a cup of coffee and a podcast, and meditate, relax, or whatever you like to do to get ready for work. I've heard managers try to spin a commute as a good thing,

I find it dubious that people who get good scores on these telematics are actually better drivers or less likely to cause accidents. I've been stuck behind people doing 40 mph on the entrance ramp trying to merge into a 70 mph intersta

What does refusing to use the rear view camera have to do with data collection? Those were added because kids were getting run over and killed by reversing vehicles. It seems irresponsible to not check it (along with all the other normal ch

It's definitely odd that you're getting routed across the country to an east coast pop. Ideally in your location you'd be routed to a west or central pop. Perhaps a bad combination of Cloudfront getting geolocation wrong for

This appears to load fine for me on both AT&T fiber and AT&T cellular. It looks like all content on that site is being loaded from Cloudflare, so I'm curious if those users would be having issues with other Cloudflare protected

AT&T uses different APNs for regular phone plans and data-only hotspot plans. It's very possible that the phone traffic is being routed completely differently than the hotspot traffic, with congestion at a peering point occurring o

Yeah there's not much you could personally do, other than maybe report it to the California Energy Commission. Bulbs need to be lab tested and the results submitted to the CEC, but I'm not sure how the lifespan testing is actually
