Can you clarify your actual budget? Or is it $0? For email, I found Migadu [0] this year and love them. It’s ~$50/year, but for that you get unlimited mailboxes. The limit is on how many emails/day you send. This might suit your n

Same find, in Australia. But they (Commonwealth) wouldn’t entertain any swapping of details. I was just on the phone to the service centre and I thought all was lost ... but of course they said “just take it to any of our branches and we’

The boss likes his Surface Pro as much as it’s possible for a Unix guy to like Windows. Flipping to touch mode on the plane and churning through emails — mostly read & delete — is a favourite. I’m in the ‘get your fingers off my screen’

Heh. Tried this as I wasn’t aware of it. Crashed Springboard.

Agreed. Any sufficiently large organisation is, by definition, staffed by average people. Why would we expect that organisation, as a whole, to be above average?

Aussie/British here so YMMV if you’re from somewhere less white. Go to the States. It’s amazing . Almost none of what you read here actually happens. I’ve been a bunch of times in the last few years and the border people have been not

“Short timeline” assumes you didn’t see 64-bit coming a couple of years ago. Not saying it isn’t work, just that “I didn’t see it coming” isn’t much of an excuse.

I live in Melbourne where cyclists and trams co-exist quite happily. It’s unusual for someone to be hurt by a tram. Contrast with the carnage that is cars v. bikes in London.

My untested theory re: trams over buses is that trams are predictably less random. You’re a tourist. You board a bus. Where does the bus go? A: literally anywhere. You’re a tourist. You board a tram. Where does the tram go? A: where those t

Couldn’t resist a dig at Apple in a totally unrelated thread, eh? You know you can use any monitor you like. You don’t have to buy their $6,000 monitor. I’ve used Macs happily for years and have yet to spend that much on a monitor or a stan

Compare selling on the App Store to selling physical goods in a real store. Can anyone just make a thing at home and take it to their local Walmart and demand they sell it? Of course not. There are quality controls. There are things you ha

I use this with Peter Lowe’s blocklist [0]. I’d share the exact setup but I’m not near my Mac just now. It’s great, but I also use 1Blocker — have since its release, also use it on iOS — and I think it does most of the work. I’ve only rec

Same way I feel about security domains at work: you either have to trust encryption, or never use any network. It’s that binary. At work I’ll see people — the security team, usually — taking some already-encrypted thing and re-hardening it

Cal Newport's latest book Digital Minimalism has some tips, but none of them are quick-fixes. "Get a challenging hobby" is basically the idea. Which is a great idea! I just have to, y'know, do it...

We bought an old FM radio - a beautiful NAD [0] from the 80s for $40, as it happens - because we like having music on in the background and the iPad/wireless combo just isn’t anywhere near as good as “the wireless”. You know what the N

My UK-centric view of addresses caused me an unnecessary and unpleasant 3kms walk, backpack-laden, in high summer Sydney heat back in 2003. Turns out “100 Some Road” can exist in multiple contiguous suburbs here in Australia. The numbering

I still don’t think an actual SMS would be received. SMS is old-school. That thing is going via the tower or it’s not going at all. (This is just a hunch. Happy to be told I’m wrong!)

Point well made, but my question stands! If the OP's allegation is true, someone has sniffed the packets. There's a blog post somewhere. There's something . I just want that something here, for the record. As it stands, I am
