Your "product" is what you sell. The owners of redis labs don't sell redis, they sell hosting, as far as I can see, in which case they made themselves a competitor to AWS, Azure, etc. And they don't have a competitive ad

You don't have to throw it away. You can give it away. Your gift displaces for some time the purchase of a new item. This still proves the point that you should aim to buy products where the consumable components are repairable and whe

Use a 2fa app with backups, or one that syncs to different devices (e.g. authy). It's distributed TFA. The phone number is not very secure, so I don't think it should be a part of TFA. I therefore agree that it is unwise to allow

I have it working with two DP monitors and the laptop screen. But this only works in XFCE not Unity, even though I use lightdm with XFCE. Optimus actually probably would have worked out of the box except that I added a brightness control xo
