I have (and still use) a 2019 mbp and it has had CPU thermal throttling issues since very early after I bought it new. Intel macs from that year were notorious for thermal throttling.

I hope this doesn't come across as toxic/negative, because I sincerely mean it to be constructive criticism. I clicked the link and left almost immediately for 2 reasons: 1. For something like this, I'd expect to see a demo v

Thank you! I'm working on a SAAS app for a niche industry and I keep putting things off because I'm a perfectionist, but I need to just launch the damn thing and perfect it later!

Amazon isn't the only company using USPS this way. It might be worthy of investigation, but Trump's motive here is to get back at Bezos for things that The Washington Post publishes. The president using the power of the executive

Equally ironic: kowtowing to the wealthy has been the republican rhetoric for as long as I can remember. There's no question that Trump's motive here is to get back at Bezos for things that The Washington Post publishes. You'

It might be more expensive with this apples-to-apples comparison, but do you have any idea what the actual utilization of your linode server looks like? Unless that server is under heavy load most of the time, you would probably be much be

With gmail you can use periods in the email address and gmail will ignore them. i.e. bob.smith@gmail.com is the same as bobsmith@gmail.com or even bo.bsmith@gmail.com.

You know, this is something that could be built as a "serverless" app for almost no cost using AWS services like SES, S3, Lambda, and DynamoDB. I'm sure that the VPS doesn't cost much, but it's a cost whether anyon

I can't speak to why it wasn't invented sooner, but I do think that the biggest reason that they've taken off (pun?) is that they are much easier to fly and much more stable than a helicopter. The fact that many of them now

I noticed the google.tw from AWS instances that are hosted in the US. Seemed odd to me at the time, but it's even more odd that it's the same on workspace instances too.

I figured it out. Using the username/password as part of the URL string (i.e. https://emily@socialcast.com:demo@demo.socialcast.com/api/me... ) worked. I'm sure that there's a better way to do this, but

I could see IPv6 pushing this along a little more, but I agree that humans are too lazy to deal with it. I currently have a home server, but my career is in information technology and my wife is a photographer. In my case, we have the need

Those are all good points. It would be something that you'd really have to stay on top of in order to ensure that your backups are happening. Bandwidth for restores would definitely be a big issue since the typical home only probably has

FYI, they don't throttle bandwidth (anymore?). I know this because I started to go with Carbonite, but they throttle bandwidth to 256k. What's worse is that it gets even slower if your backup exceeds 200GB. I have a 5 Mbps upload speed a

I was just thinking - Wouldn't it be great if there were some sort of site that allowed people to trade disk space to use the backup to a friend feature? The only problem I see with that is being a little uneasy about putting data in a str

I did this after giving up on ever having a career in I.T. and being fed up with my 8 year job at Wal-Mart. I already had some knowledge of PHP, JavaScript, ..etc and I got most of my work from oDesk.com. I took a couple of weeks to go ov

I disagree. If you've made the choice not to eat bacon then it's your job to pay attention to the ingredients in things. It's pretty common to flavor beans with bacon.

That's where the comment voting would help, but I guess it's still not a perfect system. I really just want a place where I can have political discussions/debates with people who form their opinions based on facts instead of being strictly

My brother and I had this exact idea and started to build it, but we've both been too busy with our normal jobs to be able to do anything with it. We even have a pretty decent domain name (I think).
