Flagship SoC (SD821 vs SD808) and a metal body are the main things that make it worth the price to me.

No information has been released that I'm aware of. But the Pixel C is also a Pixel device and also Android so there's definitely precedent for them allowing unlocks.

I'm just waiting for Matrix to get E2E going... For now, XMPP works well enough.

Do you have anywhere I can read more about this? It sounds interesting.

That will have the same result. Insurance companies will price based on risk, with the safer carriers having lower risk and hence lower prices. The less safe carriers will have more expensive insurance and be at a disadvantage to the safer

Interesting... A big (perceived by management) problem in my particular complex is phone and TV. Would you recommend VoIP for phone? What would you recommend for TV? Sticking with cable? Is there someone who resells cable over IP or somethi

Really? This is a ~70 unit building. Is it really possible to get gigabit to all occupants with a single wireless link? The fastest I'm seeing seem to be ~6Gbit and for a building this size I'd expect we'd need at absolute le

I'm not sure how much of this is the trench itself but I asked a local ISP about how much it would cost to connect the apartment building I live in to the municipal owned (and shared) fiber located ~200ft down the street. I was told $1

In Australia my understanding is that there are laws preventing exactly this. This comes from a relative who's a registered nurse.

Does anyone have insight into why this is? The US seems uniquely aggressive in the way it pursues its citizens' and corporations' international earnings. Why is the US the only country that does this? Is it just greedy? Does it fe

I had ~4TB on a dedicated Gbit connection (sitting in a DC, not Google Fiber or something) and was averaging ~400GB/day, which is ~40Mbit. This was through duplicati though, I'm trying it now with rclone to see if it's a bott

It works but it'll unpredictably throttle you if you utilize it too heavily (I'm talking writing at least hundreds of gigabytes). If you don't abuse it it works great.

The first part doesn't work so well without the second part (buses are terrible on congested roads) and the second part is unlikely to work well without the first (who'd accept that tax?). Really, you'd need to do these both

I don't think it does. The title states "Someone in Australia wants server sales hidden from view". Servers ("multiple-user computer hardware") are explicitly excluded from the confidentiality request.

To add to the downsides, you can't expand RAIDZ vdevs. If you start with a 6 disk RAIDZ2 and want to add a couple more drives, you can't. The only way to add capacity to the pool is to add an entire new vdev. Unfortunately I don&#
