Stripe Terminal's upfront pricing is neat, but it would triple the processing fees of most 3+ lane retail stores while still lacking reporting of tax (causing many business cards to decline), FSA/HSA, EBT and WIC support. I'm

Stripe makes none of the hardware that is currently available (the BBPOS Chipper™ 2X BT or Verifone P400). Not sure which processing platform they are riding atop of these days (perhaps Tsys?) but we maintain a separate First Data account a

It looks a lot more like a remodeled Lync (eventually rebranded Skype for Business) than a remodeled Skype, basically Lync but written in Sharepoint, hence the up to 1 hour account creation and license syncing delays.

The PinePhone has the same security properties as the Nokia N900 where the modem is connected over USB rather than an interface with direct memory access (eg: PCIe) where the proprietary software running on the modem can read anything in ma

Worse yet, the OS itself is non-GPL, an OEM can modify Fuchsia outside just the drivers to support their device (eg: create a board support package) and never release their modifications to their customers, meaning the community can't

Fuchsia has separated the drivers from the kernel[1], enabling proprietary drivers that are never updated to become acceptable. This can result in Blueborne[2], GPU vulnerabilities[3], and any other proprietary driver remaining permanently

Autonomous system (AS) operators should not act in bad faith towards other AS networks they peer with. BGP hijacking is an example of abuse of this institutional trust, same for DNS hijacking. If this trust is repeatedly broken, peering net

Signal iOS is still underwhelming, on Android it has some really nice features that make it a good SMS client and SMS replacement, but alas no one (outside Apple) is permitted to do that on iOS. Element/Matrix might be of more interest

Signal on paired devices works really poorly if you are a heavy Signal user (eg: 5+ daily active groups that are media heavy, over 5GB database size). The Signal servers rate limit you severely, causing it to take tens of minutes (or someti
