That's how I deal with facebook and Instagram. If it's only there, it basically doesn't exist and definitely doesn't want my business. Found great smaller shops already when looking for things that do care for my busines

I personally can't think of a single product I use that needed to be sold to me in such a way. If I can't see the obvious benefit on their homepage I wouldn't sign-up in the first place. But that's me. I always try to le

Making $26bn dept after the last gamble with the metaverse failed so publicly is brave. Guess some kind of last straw. I really do like llama but I would never use meta as a platform for AI (or anything really). I generally hope to see the

What do people consider as NAS? A Network Harddrive? If you buy a "normal" Synology Nas it comes with shared calenders, office, VPN control, several backup options including Aws and Azure and a lot more. Typical setup and forget s
