I've had good experiences with Mailbox.org - the basic plan supports multiple domains with wildcards. Also, a neat free option is Seznam.cz though I don't have considerable personal experience with the domain feature on it.

I've come to really regret my recent switch to Verizon Prepaid. They are very over-provisioned, which means anyone not on post-paid (i.e. MVNOs and to my disappointment, vzw prepaid) will get deprioritized to practically zero even with

I found this review by Demuro to be useful: https://youtu.be/ocHFC03Wmbw - it outlines the compromises they made, such as using the tried-and-true components from the Escape, focusing on function over shiny form, and making

Ford also released the hybrid Maverick with a starting price of 20k usd, which is much more right sized and extremely practical. It is attracting a lot of non traditional buyers who would likely never have considered the monstrosities that

An anecdote: my eye opener was when I connected mine (3gb/32gb) to a usb-c hub (after seeing Martjin Braam's YT video on it) and was able to then connect it to my 27" hp monitor via hdmi and attach my keyboard/mouse as w

I bought the device via pre-order and didn't order the Marker Plus at that time (mistake). However there is a soft-erase tool that works pretty well. Also, the Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo, which can be typically had for around 40usd

The social contract is different here. You focus on the salary but most employees are considered fungible here by most employers with 'industry standard' as a synonym for 'sucks about as much as what we consider our competito

Similarly in Texas: https://www.kxan.com/pipeline-exposure/ . The KXAN reporter (Jody Barr) who worked on this expose was followed by sheriffs in multiple counties and stopped for no reason on public roads.

Consider the Gigaset GS4 or one of their older devices. The GS4 is not currently rooted afaik but some of their older devices (GS290?) are supported by (edit)e.foundation [1] and etc. As an additional benefit, they are made in Germany (thou

They seem to be making a comeback, at least on the mid-range: the Pixel 3a/4a/5a I think had headphone jacks as does the Gigaset GS4.

I discovered Bandcamp while trying to buy music by Hatari a few years ago and have loved it since. They have definitely done things right and the ability to discover interesting artists there is just an additional perk.

The theme of his talks (from all of the ones I've listened to in full) has been that blockers/gatekeepers are bad and will cause you to fail. In this video, he explores the dichotomy of approaches between Google (Dev<->SRE)

Consider looking at CalyxOS, DivestOS, e.Foundation, or GrapheneOS on devices they respectively support as well. I recently got a (cheap) Pixel C to try out DivestOS and was very pleased in spite of some device-specific compromises (bootloa

I can confirm based on my experience that smaller companies do it this too. They may not have many lawyers on retainer but being small, they can (threaten to) walk you out immediately with no consequences, cut-and-paste irrelevant passages

You are right - the MMS functionality is only supported by their web app so far: https://wiki.voip.ms/article/MMS . Is Google Voice an option for you or are you (understandably) hesitant to use their services for a cri

I am surprised - they are ringing your phone/the app vs. just ending up as 'missed calls'? I presume you are also marking them as spam to prevent recurrence and that these numbers are not in your contacts? (Not being sarcasti
