10Gbps equipment is pretty spendy
Why pay so much more to fight an uphill battle?
Unless you desperately need the hot garbage that is Xcode there isn't much reason to deal with Mac Minis running MacOS as a server. One update and it will suspend and be unwakeable without physical interaction.
Need a CPAP? The mandatory sleep studys slots for 6 months from now are all full, and calling the programs 3 to 7 hours drive away to see if you can get a slot there is the same deal.
At one point I had to call over 50 different medical practices looking for any doctor that could see my partner in a cast from a broken bone. So many lied about having multiple Orthopedic specialists on staff, and the few I found were booking months out. After a month I got lucky finding an appointment free due to a cancellation, but we had the best healthcare possible at the time and full coverage to see nearly all of the Orthopedic specialists licensed in my state.
US Healthcare is a bad joke and only those with the energy to hustle and fight for their healthcare stand a chance of having a reasonable quality of life if you have anything not immediately treatable in urgent care or an ER.
All of the Primary Care Physicians are booked out 5+ months for one of our HMOs, but at least you won't get 5 different bills mailed to you from LabCorp and others for $1 to $5 each months after a blood test with no way to track or pay them online.
You can see this with SMIC and their inability to get modern lithography systems from the only leading edge vendor ASML. Sure, you can create your own vendors to replace such companies, but they are unlikely to ever catch up to the leading edge or even be only a generation or two behind the leading edge despite massive investments.
With non-leading edge equipment & processes you have to make compromises like making much larger chips so you can get the same compute in a low power profile. This drives up the initial cost of every device you make and you run into throughput issues like what Huawei has experienced where they cannot produce enough ships to ship their flagship ship phones at a reasonable price and simultaneously keep them in stock.
Instead you get boutique products that sell out practically immediately because there were so few units that were able to be manufactured.
There are many people I run across who bypassed the whole Gmail and Google Workspace ecosystems and have rolled along merrily with me.com and other email providers.
It's not a given that users will have bothered to register for a Google account unless they grew up in the Bay Area after a certain time period.
Wind back the clock to when Google tried to roll out Hangouts and the Gmail penetration rate was even lower among the non-Android users out there.
Who needs to add a CORS header to allow Sentry.io or Cloudflare's metrics to work on this 2014 era SaaS that the developer has wandered away from?
Please don't spread electrical code myths.
A GFCI outlet is needed if your breaker is not GFCI already, but this receptacle is something that isn't terribly expensive.
MMS and email use the same protocol with minor differences under the hood.
Since the FCC abdicated their regulatory power over texting during the first Trump administration under Ajit Pai, T-Mobile, AT&T & Verizon Wireless formed a cartel called The Campaign Registry which has run amok extorting data and cash out of businesses just to be allowed to go through a slow approval process.
Nominally, this was to reduce spam texts, but the vast majority of spam texts are internal to the Mobile Network Operators these days.
Our banking ecosystem is extremely fragmented with thousands of small banks and credit unions, we aren't like Canada where the 5 largest banks control nearly the entire market and can change things relatively quickly.
There are many mesh networks with Autonomous Systems Numbers, peering at internet exchanges, etc. You don't order 10Gbps ports at various IXPs if your community run network can't deliver that bandwidth usefully.
Nothing says Microsoft won't further change their arbitrary pricing and bundling structure.
One of the bonus features being your email is much less likely to disappear within Outlook.com's mailservers. Not sure what is going sideways there, but those mailservers are not reliable and mail traces are ineffective in finding lost emails that have proof of delivery to the MX record listed outlook.com mailserver.
MXRoute has years of track record, more than 1 employee, and has good tools like IMAPSync to enable easy duplication of your emails for backup or migration to a different platform.
Instead, we have a divided and fractured jigsaw and heavy lobbying to keep it that way.
I had to buy a friends Framework 13 to get parts to keep mine going, as spending $240 for just the top and bottom case and plastic screen bezel seemed excessive.
More users have put their Framework 13's on a shelf to languish than I expected. The alternatives all seem better polished.
When I see a license on a project I expect that project will provide the code under that license and function fully at runtime, not play games of "Speak to a sales rep to flip that bit or three to enable that codepath".
Their aggressive data throttling always rubbed me the wrong way, along with the Extreme data pricing, considering it was on Sprint's terrible network.
Everyone is buying the tool that does the job, or building that tool if they want to make that large investment...
Create a known good OCR to calculation mechanism, then generate reports based off it. If it is inaccurate, its probably a small amount of logic to fix it.
With GPT you could even get it to write the parsing logic for you perhaps, and maybe process bill data when a bill doesn't exactly match existing parser data.
