I’ve been very happy with the Monoprice “SonicSolace” ones. Haven’t done a side-by-side comparison, but I’ve found them perfectly good for airplane use, and they’re definitely cheaper. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=

Ouch indeed. I have a RainMachine irrigation controller that hooks into WU forecasts to be smart about when to water. It can use other data sources (e.g., NOAA), but in our microclimate area, WU’s access to highly-localized personal weather

Not the OP, but my personal experience has been that it was a mistake to rely on SendGrid. This is based on a 2016 incident [1] where SendGrid made unannounced changes to IP pools, resulting in sent emails being delayed for several hours or

I’d been in the exact same not-worth-the-hassle-to-change-for-only-$9.95 mindset on one of my side projects. That is, until last year when Comodo engaged in some really shady behavior directed at Let’s Encrypt [1]. At that point, decided th
