I bought a $120 book from Amazon a couple of months ago, internationally, and they sent the wrong book. I told them, and they said they'd refund it, don't need to send it back, and they'd even add $15 credit. The refund never

I honestly can't tell if the pragmatic engineer is a well regarded site or they are just very good at promotion on LinkedIn and hacker news. I suspect the latter but I'm getting more curious

Does Proton allow you to use any email client? Last I checked IMAP and SMTP is disabled and you're captive in their webmail or official client unless you pay for their bridge software. Which makes this post ironic https://pr

The end game of these rules seems to be that it's impossible for small forums to cope, so content gets centralised on big tech. I would be surprised if they don't support this.

Everyone says this about self hosting email but I've had fewer problems self hosting email than any other service - though I don't use residential IPs I use dedicated servers or VPS. I've also seen plenty of comments from oth

The article says slack took them off the non profit plan, set the price at $5000/year and they paid it and were happy to. It's not a long article.

I was cancelling my annual slack premium last month and had to click to acknowledge that some of my members are using the AI features and they will lose access to them. They then offered me a discount and if I refused there was another chec

I'll be honest when I first saw the post I was intrigued, I thought it looked beautiful. Then I saw the size of the camera, the eSim only trade off, the boast about "all day battery" and slowly but surely started to realise t

Foldables are weird at the moment, they are bulky and the aspect ratio (because it's a square) means that the viewable screen is often comparable to the S24 for example.

I wonder if there isn't a market for budget Androids in this range. Personally I have an Oppo Asomething that was around $50. I'd pay more for a smaller version which would probably have slightly better performance. > A huge po

Something like before launcher with filtered notifications gives you a list you can go through whenever. But they don't clear (your uber is getting close) and even then I often forget to check sms for 2 days

I've had this for years but it makes me check my phone more often I think. At times I find myself cycling through apps to see if someone replied, whereas if I had a notification I'd know whether or not to bother
