You're not going crazy :) Hover over the "minutes ago" string on any of those comments & you'll see the original timestamp. I guess this is a repost, comments got merged, and the "minutes ago" strings are c

Also available from their site with much faster shipping than AliExpress’s Jan 20 (to the US, at least). https://www.athom.tech/ Happily using this little guy to drive 100 fairy lights (from Adafruit), all from a USB plug.

Similar: A growing chunk of my support calls have the audio SO LOW that I have to turn on speakerphone and shove the thing halfway down my ear canal to decipher what they're saying. Asking the agent to speak up gets a response like I&#

When you get easily hacked by a script kiddie, you can CYA internally about all the “preventative measures” you took by showing off the rubber stamp.

Why not use a VPN to access your home network, rather than directly exposing the NAS? Many routers have an L2TP or similar server built-in.

Huh, that's a pretty large amount of refunds (granted, still $10B in additional revenue). Interesting data, thank you for sharing.

Sure. But why in the world would they audit you if you overpaid?

Presumably a hybrid of #1, #2, #3 is most effective - there are audiences that will respond best to each. I assume the targeting data is out there. Personally, though, I find the handwritten aspect of the letter, and the from a human b

Honestly, no, I haven't tried "STOP" out of fear that any response will be taken as a confirmation that a human reads the messages, worsening the spam. That's what happens w/ email and phone spam and its impossibl

My state (NJ) doesn’t seem to collect phone number, and either way does not seem to allow one to update their registration record. That doesn’t stop political parties from blowing up my SMS inbox with daily garbage during election season.

My current (Yale) keypad is too new to judge, but the digits seem to be printed underneath the plastic rather than on top of it. Should make it difficult to detect any wear.
