There are some competing grid systems with similar features and benefits as well. Notably A5, which has the property that each cell covers exactly the same area, even when stretched towards the north and south pole. Useful for certain spati

I'm working on one this week, from a cPanel-hosted email to Google Workspace. There are probably still quite a number this category will still be happening. Then there's all the people who want to exit Big Tech or US-based compani

Yep, and no ISO 27001 or SOC II, nor is the location of the country of operation disclosed, let alone any name associated with it.

I once had a computer that would turn itself off when I left the room to get a drink. Turned out be an old building with loose floorboard. The force of standing up was just enough to short out a failing power supply.
