Currently, my ideal setup is GLinet Spitz X750, with the LTE modem swapped out to a MC7455 for maximum compatibility (for mpcie slotted cards) with the world's LTE bands. Then run GoldenOrb's ROOter. The x750 has integrated dual band simu WiFi, and has an integrated slot and pigtails for the modem. Since I travel a lot, I can power this entire thing off of an Anker USB power bank.

Today, you can go the route of: 1) OpenWRT with ModemManager, 2) WiFix's ROOter, or 3) GoldenOrb's ROOter. Personally I like GoldenOrb's ROOter because it has a nicer UI interface that I can access from my phone. You can SSH into it and hack the scripts to get things to work exactly how you want to as well.

Shoutout to the GLinet team, they actually listen to feedback.

Same issue, keyboard on 2018 had issues. Key broke and Apple deemed it "accidental damage" because of my efforts to clean the key following their support article.

TLDR: I think this guy just received bad customer support, and likely an actual defective device. Author seems to be overdramatic about a mistake by their support team.

Their Jabra Evolve 75's are actually solid. I have 2 of them in my office, and we recently just purchased another pair. They work with and without the USB dongle. The reason why the USB dongle is there is because the bluetooth spec for live calls are not in the HD profile. It's likely not in HD to reduce latency. Therefore, they originally created the Link 370 dongle to use their own proprietary connection to get HD microphone quality, and instant pairing; this is a MUST in a busy office environment. I'm 100% certain their support made a mistake and said the device only works with the dongle. I've also tested it's bluetooth with USBC Macbooks and it works perfectly fine. I suspect he had a defective unit.

Other notes about this 75: - Connects with two devices at the same time, and switches between them over bluetooth ala Bose QC35 bluetooth. - Does not charge over USBC, but over Micro USB. - There are regular firmware updates for the Link 370, and their other Jabra devices.

Could you explain more about what the Powerline interference are? #explainitlikeImfive

Yes

You guys really need to compete against Wiris in the K12 Education space. If you ever want to see this introduced to the US edu market, ping me a line.

Can you explain your situation a bit more?

I hate Xero with a passion. I've a software engineer background and currently serve as CEO, ala non-accountant, I'm constantly finding bugs with their software that go on unfixed for months. I'm only using Xero because my accountant prefers it than spreadsheets.

The bigger question is if Google Cloud Platform is cheaper than AWS?

Does anyone know what the "Search, Learning & Intelligence (SLI) division" does? It sounds onymous

Atomic certainly didn't need $18MM to get to beta. They also use a canvas to edit on.

Yes. Porsche made cars but also purchased a stake in Volkswagen. http://priceonomics.com/porsche-the-hedge-fund-that-also-mad...

What is this wack interpretation of Material Design? I can't remember the last time MD was meant to have such high radius for corners.

Opera is actually a fork off Chrome.

For a while, before iOS 8, Safari would be the only application to take advantage of the Nitro Javascript Engine. No other web view (Chrome for iOS, Facebook, etc) was able to take advantage of the increased JS performance. I had heard that it was due to the way Nitro accessed memory within iOS that prevented it from being safely used by other developers.

This author seems to think that simply writing about it, replacing graphics card, OR disabling updates will simply solve the problem for Chrome, but also not affect browsers (without evidence to the contrary). They did all of this without ever filing a bug report to the Chromium team.

A slight tangent but good feedback to OP regardless:

I use MaxMind at work but because we're on the RoR stack, we have to download and commit the massive 30MB databases into our repository in order for it to be used on Heroku. We use https://github.com/yhirose/maxminddb which seems to be the only good option available that reads the new "mmdb" format. It's a complete pain to have to commit such massive DBs for it to work and would prefer for Rails to fetch the database upon initialization, cache it for at most 2 days and redownload if it hasn't already been restarted by Heroku.

If you can provide a solution to that, it would give us enough value for me to pay a few dollars per month for it.

So going to https://app.trygigster.com/new

Gives me Heroku's application error message. I guess they should have used their own Gigsters:

Application Error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

I should grow my startup this way. Seems to work!

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 how this is useful?

I tend to disagree that the subsidies make sense. In New Zealand, the sell back price recently was reduced in half. The problem is that the price is effectively set by the electricity supplier, which means it's not exactly competitive to sell back. It's gotten to the point where the ROI calculations from this reduction has affected the feasibility of installing solar panels in NZ.

Meanwhile world's productivity goes up substantially.

Trivia: the PDF is in a folder called "protected-files" - LOL

I'll give you a more specific example, going to theverge.com and playing one of their videos in Chrome, will cause OSX Yosemite to switch from integrated to discrete graphics. That is typically enough to crash the whole system, allowing you to only move your mouse around.

Can I just send my MBP Late 2011 to you so that you can send it to Apple to be replaced? The #mbp2011 group should really just set up a bunch of people there so that we can send it to Apple Norway to be replaced since MBP's warranties are worldwide anyway.

6:24 PM PST Between 4:12 PM and 6:02 PM PST, users experienced elevated error rates when making DNS queries for CloudFront distributions. The service has recovered and is operating normally.

There isn't, but there's a frontend library that you can use to add fallbacks to <script> tags:

Is it me or does the site not load in Chrome? Initially, text flashes quickly then a blank page.

I agree, took a while to figure out what was going on. Especially because the grid lines are so tiny with such low contrast.

This is why I run Tomato and DNSmasq with a local cache and I send DNS queries to multiple DNS servers at once and accept whichever one replies the fastest. It basically uses the "all-servers" dnsmasq option in config. I then have 4.2.2.2 (level3) and 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as servers.

The local cache speeds things up but also ensures that even if DNS is down, I still have most of my most used domains cached. Usually, I average 10,000 domains per day, so I have a cache of 15,000 records. The "all-servers" tends to help with redundancy but also speeds things up because no single server can consistently respond fast without having some queries take 100ms or more.

PS Technically you shouldn't be using 4.2.2.2 since Level3 expressively discourages it's public use. But the idea here is that you shouldn't rely on one provider even if they provide you with separate IPs

PS2 why was this post deleted?
