They provided the label and picked the carrier (DHL). DHL picked the package up and promptly lost it or forgot about it or whatever happens with shipping companies that are trash. I waited about 2 weeks before I complained because COVID and

Good luck ever getting a warranty or return done on these. Look around at their support. It’s awful. I had to file a dispute after they wouldn’t provide a refund for my return after nearly 30 days of non-movement of the return (their label,

Person I responded to said engine cover, that’s the plastic shit on top of the engine. It’s worthless.

Person I responded with said engine cover. That’s the shit plastic they put on the top of an engine. It traps heat. It’s literally worthless.

Good luck getting a C8. The wait list is long.

They can actually be worse, trapping heat in. But yea, completely non-functional. Remove it if the clips are broken. You aren't missing anything.

I use Backblaze, and aside from the cost, it's great. It's fine for 1 computer, but oof, there's no multi-computer discount. Most of my machines aren't backing up terabytes of storage either. We're talking like ~100

Small update here. After nearly 45 days, and one dispute later, I have my refund. I get the feeling this company is going out of business.

This is also how I got two new batteries replacements when I had to send my MBP in for keyboard replacement due to the stupid thing breaking (repeatedly). Each time the system showed 0 cycles on the battery and I basically got a nice reset.

Going to tell my story, again, as I think it's important. Remarkable seem like the type of company that are pouring money into marketing and not much else. To their detriment. I bought a Remarkable 2 in September. Realized I did not wa

lol, so far away from a local maximum. I am striving towards trying to make my life my own. I feel like I've failed at that pretty badly so far as well. It's very much a roll with the punches type of thing over here. Seems to me n

I think it's a larger thing in general. I tried to keep it non-political. But I probably could've hit two birds with one stone by saying "environment." Both our political environment and our physical environment. This is

I don't think you understand how this is being used as a tax loop hole. Please go read here: https://www.propublica.org/article/lord-of-the-roths-how-tec... This type of opportunity is NOT available for low to mid

I'd be fine with this, but the problem is that the rich, who are utilizing these loopholes, are the same people not paying their employees a fair share so that they COULD support themselves and their future better. The wealth gap is fr

Actually, what I'd like to see are better opportunities for low and middle class people. I'm very clearly middle class, I likely make less than virtually every software developer reading this. I am lucky though in that I live in a

by selykg 5y ago
This has no impact on the average person in the low to middle class income range. This is just a loophole allowing the rich to put a bunch of money into their IRAs and watch it grow in a tax advantaged way. The average person that's pu

I don't mind the downvotes, I assumed I'd get them because I was saying something unpopular in a thread of people who seem to be super excited about it. It was really more a PSA and I'm happy to take the karma hit if it helps

I'm sort of in a very rural area. Farm fields across the street from me. But I'm also ~5 minutes or so away from downtown. I have available to me gigabit (down) from Comcast. I had it for awhile and it was glorious but it was also

So, I guess I'll give my (sadly) negative experience with these things. First, I sort of ordered it on a whim. I liked the idea and thought it'd be cool to use for work while not having to use my personal iPad even more. This is t

So, because you’ve done research that’s the end of it? No one else can possibly do better? Game over guys. The guy on hacker news did his best so everyone else should just stop trying. I for one, as a person that swings around with depressi

If a product is available in the Mac App Store only, it gets tricky because you can provide the US price, but all other prices are generated by Apple in relation to the US price for other regions. This can cause confusion. Been there, done
