To all of these types of acquisitions, my initial thoughts are always "At least it wasn't oracle"

correct. You still need a client. The Op is probably referring to getting around firewall restrictions. Some companies block all outbound ports except p80 and p443, so if you work at such a company, you can't access your personal machi

It really is that simple. It's really shocking that a company like Google has failed over and over at this. Apple nailed it on the first try. Both iMessage and FaceTime. What's more frustrating is that Google had Google Talk. It w

What I was saying was, if the SoC is 8 months old (8 months since it began selling in retail devices), then the 8 month old device will likely be on sale. Getting a device that just launched (but contains the same 8 month old SoC) likely wo

I really appreciated the critical honesty here. With a Pixel you're getting an 8 month old SoC. The reason this detail is important is because the 8 month old Galaxy S9 is now selling far below MSRP. You can get them new for around $50

I don't know any numbers, but my guess is that the majority of Red Hat's GNU/Linux subscriptions are for the headless server version. I'm sure they have some customers for the Workstation edition, but I've always fe

The obvious alternative would be Ubuntu. The LTS releases are alternatives to RHEL/CentOS. The others are Fedora alternatives. However, Red Hat is _far_ more than RHEL. They actually build a ton of OSS that's used in RHEL and else

This announcement made me really sad. Red Hat was a company I admired. I guess the only silver lining is that the buyer wasn't Oracle.

Netlify is great. I have 5 sites there. All for free. My only concern is that it's too good to be true. I hope nothing changes for the worse (i.e. they get bought and cripple the free tier).

My problem is that often I click to read email and nothing happens. I need to refresh the whole page and click the email again. Happens in Chrome on both Mac and Linux.

Yes. But will they have a number to call? Can they pay support staff if they're selling domains at cost.

surprised at no '.me' and '.io'. They're pretty popular. Presumably they'll come later.

All my domains are with Hover. Good customer support, reasonable UI, 2FA. I'm pretty happy with them. Sure, it's a little more expensive, but I actually like the no upsell, stable prices, no coupon codes etc.. Most importantly, th

Except Oracle recently purchased DYN. It will be interesting to see if they maintain their previously good reputation.

Yep. Dropbox is going to lose some customers. Maybe it won't be too many (compared to Windows/Mac), but the customers they will lose will be their most technical.

Outlook is already a bloated beast. Moving it to Electron would be a disaster. I can't see it happening. Maybe a 'lite' version of outlook, but not the version enterprises use.

I use Android, Linux (at home), and Mac (at work). I switched from KeePass because the UI was really bad, it seemed dead, and I really didn't want to move to KeePass 2 (with Mono on Linux). I switched to enpass, and it's been grea

The end result is that people who prefer Android devices are still stuck paying iPhone money for a phone that has much, much lower single threaded performance.

I do find these articles frustrating. They continue to rave about ARM (or Qualcomm) improvements, while casually mentioning that they're at least 2 years behind Apple. Being 2-3 years behind Apple should be front and centre of the arti

Innovation is great. But with more carriers throttling after a few GBs, there's no customer value yet. What's the value in getting 1Gbs when my plan throttles after 5GB. That's 40 seconds before I'd be throttled for the
