I really try to avoid buying books (or anything other than throwaway products) from Amazon. While I don't think I've received counterfeit books, (just electronics), Amazon also has a print-on-demand system that is horrible. Often

In Minnesota it is about $0.20 cheaper than the discount gas places. I'd definately pay $2.60 more to avoid the crazy people jamming Costco's parking lots trying to get that 20 cents off. I've narrowly avoided many people goi

The main reasons for me ditching UBNT has been • lies about supporting older versions of APs, telling me I need to upgrade to get x-such-feature, and then they support it later on the older hardware. • Various features sold as _coming_soon

25Gbps is not insane if you are using commodity hardware. If you are buying any sort of datacenter switch, most likely it will be 25G/100G already. 10G/40G is dead tech. Now, 400G uplinks are still pretty reserved, but 100G (and

Its to the point now that unless the email address is @hotmail or @yahoo, almost everybody assumes that there is some company named domain.com that that said owner of the email works for that company.

The reason some of the bigger sites don't offer IPv6 is to not have to deal with stupid broken client configurations. There are so many groups out there that don't care to setup anything, and ignorantly, or not, break their existi
