Ironically, if you used the fancier cables with the Pi4 instead of cheap ones, it won't power on. Which supports the "mess" argument, and another example of manufacturers are the culprit. (Yes, I know it's been firmware

Thanks for the warning about TM to NAS. Out of curiosity, were you using HFS+ and AFP via hfsprogs and Netatalk? I set up a Pi4 with an external drive attached to it via USB3 about a year ago. I wanted to set up a solution for me and my w

In general you're right. Their marketing is targeted to the small business owner. However, I've met my fair share of tech people that did use them. In one company I was at, we needed an offsite FTP server. The admin set one up

This is just part of a long line of scummy practices by GoDaddy in its history. Bad PR for GoDaddy constantly popped up in tech news sites ~15 years ago, but it was never enough to stop their aggressive marketing. Still, I always wondered

If I recall correctly, it was a VP at GoDaddy and some underlings that were busted for this. They were personally profiting from it. GoDaddy got bad PR, those involved got punished (maybe fired?) and people forgot. It sounds like the culp

I thought specifically one benefit of an IRP was that they had official Apple inventory on hand like screens and batteries without resorting to grey market stripped/scavenged parts. Is that not the case?

by snapetom 6y ago
Authorized Service Providers and Independent Repair Provider are two separate programs. IRP was created a few years ago specifically for iOS devices. This article says that it's expanding to Macs. ASPs have been around for decades.
