This is a good example of why everyone should have their own domain. Using @gmail.com or any other "mass" email domain is just not a great practice. IMHO, of course.
Tried to create an account. Got the confirmation email, clicked on it, and received this response "Your account has not been approved or disabled by the account manager. Please contact us: support@transfon.com"
That's a lot of words to say nothing, really. Amazon Prime is so insignificant in cost that it makes no sense not to have it. And the author already admitted to sharing logins, which is no doubt a violation of their use policy and a morally vague thing to do, at best.
I find myself doing the same thing. I might use Amazon to find a product, but I end up going to the manufacturer's site to buy it. I also want to make sure that I'm looking at the latest version of the product, too.
Oracle Linux is essentially re-badged Red Hat Linux. It's fine, if you don't mind being in bed with Oracle. For me the choice between Red Hat, Oracle, or CentOS would come down to what is supported by the applications I am going to run, licensing, and licensing interactions.
Tell that to the woman I saw driving down I-45 recently in a Tesla. Going well under the flow of traffic in the left lane, doing her makeup, completely not paying attention to anything but herself.
It's funny how many people don't seem to understand that coyotes, owls, hawks, and other predators live in cities. I had a cat taken by a coyote last year, and I live in the middle of Houston. I've had multiple cats taken by owls over the years, as well.
We use Teams for video conferencing at work. When someone calls, there are three buttons. One of them, the hang up button, is red; the other two are blue. I hit the red one half the time. Maybe I'm not very smart, but it sure seems like it wants me to hit it!
This is about all you can do. But you're right. You have to explain it and document it: "It's trivial to change User-Agent, and any decent hacker would probably not be using 'curl' as their User-Agent. We can look at logs from past events to validate this assumption."
I spent a decent part of last year testing various CDNs and this is not what I found. Cloudflare, Verizon were both better (performance, cache retention) than Akamai based on my testing. And cheaper, not even considering the cost of features that you'd have to buy from Akamai to make it a feature-equal comparison.
"The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology." Seems pretty clear to me?
Agreed. Just moved one site from Akamai to Cloudflare and plan to move others. Would be disappointed if, on the heels of that, Cloudflare was swallowed up by Akamai. Akamai's service is good, of course, and I have no real ill will towards it.
Yeah, this is a problem for me. I'm a long, long time Google Voice user. It is my main phone number. I do all my calls and SMS via Hangouts on my computer. It's pretty rare for me to use my phone. I'm going to be lost if I can't do this any longer, honestly.
Foreign language was required for two years in high school. People in Europe seem to forget that I can literally drive for days and not leave my country nor have any use for a language other than English. If I were to become fluent in anything other than Spanish, as a second language, I'd rarely get to speak it unless I sought at some kind of language group.
Listen to the team. Spend time observing and getting to know the systems, the people, the processes. Don't try and make major changes on day one because you cannot possibly understand the reason things work they way they do at that point.
Is Teams really a Slack competitor? I don't see it that way. I use Slack constantly to work with my team, and Teams isn't even close to offering the same functionality; it's not even in the same category of product, IMHO. I admit that I may be missing something entirely.
This is a very poorly written ad. I wouldn't have minded so much if it had started of as a well written comparison of MySQL on RDS vs EC2, but it really didn't compare that in any sort of depth before jumping into the product information.
