Wow. In the beginning I found the article interesting before (in my subjective eyes) it turned into a thinly veiled Anti-China propaganda piece. But I have to admit as a propaganda piece it was done quite well. Pull interested readers in le

This is one of my problems for migrating from Google Workspace. I use aliases and groups to have significant numbers of separate email addresses for specific services. Mapping all these accounts will be a big pain in the butt.

Just wanted to send you my thanks. For the last hour or so drinking my morning coffee I read their page. I will give them a try but you might have provided me with the service to switch to from Google. I already have replacements for storag

OK. Then we have the same price. I am actually still thinking in price +VAT while the cost is billed to me as a freelancer and I practically don't pay VAT. ;)

I am not talking about reasonable needs here. I am talking about people who are Cleary feeling entitled to receive loans they know the can never repair and would not even be willing to try. I myself had to live on 345 Euros a month for quit

I agree. My main job is in a mainly Mac environment with only around 18% other OS users (mostly Windows). I switched after 3 MacBook Pros died on me in as so much years (after Touch Bar but before M1). I often have to colab on a Keynote and

I was irked by the exact example you picked. I think it could have been solved with: "Her hand shakes so much she can't do sign language." But most other paragraphs were imho more relaxing and easy to parse. I remember in uni
