If they could do a proper EV Soul they'd make a customer of me every 10 or so years for the rest of my life....maybe more often if it keeps getting stolen based on their track record.

Am I crazy, or is that a lot of Tribbles?

[-] xyguy@startrek.website 12 points 4 months ago

Can, yes.

Should, maybe.

Enjoy doing, unlikely.

And for sure your home isp has all the email ports blocked upstream.

With all that being said, to call SMTP dead is wildly insane. I do figure it will die someday though. Probably around the same time of universal IPV6 adoption during the year of the linux desktop.

I had a client as of a couple of years ago with a custom fronted software build on top of an access mdb database running on windows 98 continuously since 2000. They had been backing it up onto a 18 year old 1GB flash drive every night for years. Their interest was exactly zero in upgrading to anything newer.

I was genuinely convinced they offered 10gig service in some markets. Doesn't surprise me that its all marketing nonsense.

Just a tip for anyone who wants to know, if you have Comcast business internet they'll tell you you have to use their modem but, you can swap it out with a 3rd patty modem and use the live chat service to get it activated. Then you can send back their modem for free at a ups store. Every salesperson will tell you its not possible but it absolutely is.

I don't like to stereotype based on names but, if anyone has ever been Gwennyth it's her.

No! Not our MSI! Not the same folks who strongarmed reviewers to prevent them publishing a bad review, or scalping video cards during the pandemic or the ones that released defective AIO coolers and then half-assed the recall.

Say it isn't so!

I tend to agree. Especially with midroll ads. And I also see YouTube Red/Premium/Plus as too expensive especially compared to free.

I wonder if it cost $1-$3 per month instead of $14 if they wouldn't get so many more subscribers that they would still end up making more money.

Of course they would still be incentivized to slowly raise prices over time but I could be talked into $2 a lot quicker than $15.

I was devastated when Android Signal removed SMS support. Since then I'm down to just 3 people that I still use signal with.

Its been a shame to see the direction its gone since the huge influx after the last WhatsApp controversy.
