Out of interest, why? If you want to use a throwaway those are easy, services like simplelogin.io exist if you don't want to DIY.

Are you able to substantiate that claim somehow? I know SpaceX has a commercial arrangement to pay Google for services used to deliver Starlink, I'm not aware of anything close to "Google shut down Loon; Starlink is the replacemen

What do you do when you are the cloud vendor?

Amazon goes to the extreme of putting its own custom firmware on switchgear because the choices that vendor makes in theirs doesn’t align with their objectives. I don’t think AWS is blowing up a vendors phone when something goes wrong in on

us-east-1 is many, many datacenters across its Availability Zones and tens of billions of investment for Amazon Web Services. Across all the datacenters the number of operations personnel likely exceeds 100. Think of the unit of scale as a

You can do 100GbE for about $150 a port in switch cost (new); you sometimes see ConnectX-5 cards on eBay for about $100-150 a port (used). I’ve got a fairly good amount of 100GbE in my homelab. Pretty affordable in 2023. 200GbE and 400GbE i

Hair straighteners and hairdryers also work better in the UK than they do in the U.S. for the same reason. We have some IEC 60309 outlets for IT/AV equipment cabinets wired as 2P+E with both phases presented for 240V (no neutral). You

“Up to £100k”, damages don’t appear to have been decided in that case based on a Google? It’s also a case which has some egregious aspects to it, which the Daily Mail is ignoring in their haste to write another sensationalist headline. Some

How? I’m curious if you can share any case precedent, particularly examples of such a high amount being awarded? In most U.S. jurisdictions, including WA (which has some of the more stringent law regulating recording), if you’re stood on th

Ring mains in UK are 230V and is a more frugal approach to conductor usage, both because of higher voltage and the wiring being a ring.

I understand that perception but "seems to be a lot of strings" is all that is publicly known. None of those further obligations seem to have been disclosed. Without that disclosure it's a bit of a conspiracy theory? Thus, it

It's a difficult balance, isn't it? When you're applying to a future opportunity, leaders there will *often* reach out to people in their network who worked with you previously, whether you declared them on a resume or to a r

Beats Fit Pro are decent exercise headphones for me. They’re largely immune to sweat and behave like any Apple earphones — easy pairing. They’re also less prone to falling out for my ears than the AirPods Pro. https://www.beatsby

Ha; I’d forgotten my experience with LIFX bulbs and Amazon Warehouse Deals back in 2017 when we originally moved to USA, this exact situation happened across 50+ bulbs. They’d sold a LIFX to Customer A who bought a $0.69 BR30 from Home Depo

Possibly? We’re in Washington State, but honestly unless it’s literally point-click-done and without a need to drive and appear in a courthouse, it’s just not worth it for $250 (to me). I expect this has been considered when creating policy

Another fun “this decision is final” happened for me with Amazon recently. We ordered two pairs of Beats. One was ordered by me, the other by my spouse. We’d discussed the purchase but we weren’t clear on who was actually going to order. Re
