If you change IP addresses when moving to DigitalOcean it will reset your reputation and deliverability. Speaking from recent experience.

You also need a DMARC record (https://dmarc.org) along with your DKIM and SPF records.

Be careful testing your configuration when sending emails to the large providers, you can inadvertently score negative marks against your own reputation, which is hard to recover from.

The IP address change was from spinning up a new server on DigitalOcean.

From what I could gather, changing the IP on a mail server is seen as suspicious and resets your reputation level. Google handles this by “safely” marking all of your mail as spam, I guess until your reputation is restored, which is nearly impossible since nobody will see your mail.

I had this opinion, until I changed IP addresses.

It doesn’t matter to Google that I have DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records that practically guarantee the mail server is legitimate. The domain isn’t blacklisted and I don’t send bulk mail. But ever since the IP address changed, for the past six months all my messages have been marked as spam in Gmail (so for almost everybody).

There’s zero recourse. You simply don’t matter when it comes to the big players, and it sucks when it happens to you.

When I tried the 30min demo, it felt about right, meaning that I didn’t notice any fatigue holding the controllers. Which is valuable when you’re moving around much more actively, compared to a traditional controller cradled between your knees.

Yeah just donate them to your local library. I did that with all my physical media and they were overjoyed. Other people will checkout your music, movies, etc

It must be satire… but even the chance that it’s real is disturbing.

But their growth primarily comes from hardware, how much would OS X updates influence that growth?

Their hardware from 2008 is running El Capitan, so there isn’t much persuasion for existing customers to upgrade. It seems like if someone is going to switch to Mac, they would do it regardless of any features introduced in the last 3-4 OS X releases.

I don’t know, I’m not a sales guy. But it seems like the tradeoff of losing your customer base due to unreliable software isn’t worth it.

I also think this is the root problem.

The thing is, we don't need a new OS every year, and most people I know don't want to update their devices either.

Where is the demand coming from?

We come with pretty good default settings.

Keep in shape, learn basic survival skills suitable to your climate, and keep a small kit of portable tools. If anything catastrophic happens, enable hunter-gatherer mode and start migrating. Our species did this for 95% of its existence, you’ll be fine.

James Howard Kunstler has some pretty good talks/books about suburban obsolescence.

Here’s his TED talk from years ago: https://www.ted.com/talks/james_howard_kunstler_dissects_sub...

This has been considered industry best practice for quite some time, and there are studies proving effectiveness (although I can’t cite them at the moment). However, the current design trend is minimalism, and we're stuck with that for awhile. It will eventually adjust itself back to a new baseline normal, somewhere in between.

Well, if it’s fully autonomous as many suspect, the UI would be dramatically simplified compared to Tesla.

Passengers would only need direct access to comfort controls, media playback, and an interactive map. I wouldn’t be surprised to see just a single large touch screen on the dashboard, with Siri listening for your directions.

The plastic bottles are wasteful. This makes sense for retail locations, but not for home delivery.

For someone who drinks a fair amount weekly, I have to mix soylent with something to stomach it. If you remove that option I'm not really sure who they are targeting this at.

Also interesting the powder wasn't updated to the 2.0 formula.
