Sure, that's a lot of variation. Sure, some of these features are essential for certain applications, like checksum offload etc. However, most of these features are still uniform enough that a whole bunch of them are supported by sta

It's not just that — SMS actually get delivered as part of the unused signalling capacity as far as the airwaves are concerned, hence the 160 7bit limitation, to fit into the existing protocols. E.g., as far as the the costs go, I&#x27

I think those shortcuts are often handled by the driver itself, so, it'll already know the required stepping. Another option could be to provide such stepping explicitly as another sysctl. Otherwise, realistically, the keyboard shortc

This is not really news; it's been all over the news like a week ago; Raleigh is just late to the party.

I would say the community is biased the other way around, where everyone always thinks that it's the little guy that has invalid configuration, instead of Google being at fault. What sort of config do you require from the OP? Their do

Shitz, and here I go thinking I knew everything about these sorts of things by attending a 5-day lunch-time course at Capital Factory on Founders Academy Essentials… So much for those cap tables!

If they use cookies and lots of user tracking, I'd estimate the big 4 bidding to do it on a budget of just few dozen mils.

> The problem at hand is that it is really hard to debug situations like this. Google won't tell you why a particular email is blocked, because that information will be immediately exploited by spammers. This is a pretty big fallacy

This is actually a great idea. We should implement this two-step approach for anyone trying to email us from Gmail. Sadly, I'd imagine some users don't really have a choice, e.g., an employee whose company is using Gmail from G S

If this is the kind of technical advice you provide, which merely assumes that Google can do no wrong, and the user on the other end is incapable of pressing a button on a yet another website that checks email configuration, merely to confi

No, not at all. There are reports that even if you use G Suite, and whitelist your own domain to send yourself logs through crontab, your may still have problems with the email deliverability. My own domain was blocked for nothing more tha

I think they change the way it works, and then existing filters may break at one point. I've had this happen to several filters. TBH, it's just easier to re-do the filters. There's also an option to make it apply to old con

It doesn't seem to work. In fact, IIRC, they simply add a huge button dialogue to any such emails that pass due to a filter to mark it as spam, without any buttons to dismiss their improper suggestion — e.g., you can't even confi

The problem is that Gmail and G Suite essentially have monopoly on email nowadays. Even some pretty big companies are amongst the users. All startups are using G Suite. As are many billion-dollar companies like Twitter, Arista Networks,

I'm actually having a similar problem recently, although my messages are declined at the SMTP stage, "due to the very low reputation of the sending domain", which I attribute to the output of certain cron jobs being sent towa
