I'm very disappointed with my Surface Pro tablet ... battery life sucks, resuming from sleep is really slow and the keycover needs to be disconnected and reconnected for it to 'remember' it is there. I've owned 4 Surfaces over the years and won't buy again.
I'm not a fan of OS X but seriously considering one of these just for the battery life and it-just-works portable computing.
Do not use your own corporate domain for user generated content.
Source: been there, done that ... there is no benefit to it and only pain.
Have a separate plunk-emails.com domain that is used for all emails. Or even have a bunch set up and rotate through them. This will mitigate spam impact too -- you will get spam issues even with 100% legit users
We've used https://www.enchant.com/ for about a decade for email support .. it's great, does exactly what is is supposed to and doesn't add a bunch of 'cruft' on top. Had to check our volume, currently over 40,000 tickets in that time.
What is motivating you to look for a replacement? We are evaluating grids and AgGrid is the front runner currently though really rather heavyweight for our use cases.
As a future product option I'd love to be able to treat these as standalone terminals, so we can offer a web based POS app (running on a different device) and the phone as a payment terminal without having to deploy our own mobile app.
Question for anyone in the know at Stripe ... does this make a iPhone work like the existing BBPOS WisePOS terminals and able to interact with a web app _without_ any code running on the phone itself (other than Stripe's)
Or is it more akin to the BBPOS Chipper readers and still needs a custom mobile app to interact with?
ie: can a platform built on Stripe use this for their customers without needing to supply a mobile app?
If the teacher is moderately technical then they can gain a lot of flexibility by using OBS (https://obsproject.com/) and its 'virtual camera' feature as your 'webcam' feeding into Zoom.
Then anything you do in OBS is feed into Zoom as a direct video feed and saves Zoom screen scraping and re-encoding the video. You can use OBS's screen capture or better yet pre-download the files and just play them back.
Many services won't accept these 'virtual' phone numbers for 2FA. Last time I tried I couldn't assign a Twilio provisioned number as the second factor on a Google account for example.
Thanks -- to clarify these are spam reports from the end users email host, ie the notification we get from yahoo.com, comcast.net, etc saying an email was reported as spam. So it isn't the user actually clicking through to our site via the unsubscribe link.
I think the best option might be to show something on the site when they are unsubscribed so they can easily undo that .
I have no knowledge of the ROI involved here, but would love to understand this: Twilio is 0.75c to send a text.
Is it possible for a spammer to generate >$75 per 10,000 people spammed? I've no idea were the SMS spams I've got link to (not about to find out) but they are so obviously spam.
We use SMS for communicating with users and would be happy to more a lot more per text to escape the 'positive ROI for spammers' territory.
We've run into this issue with replies to texts that the user sent first.
Telecom spam filtering seems to be a ridiculously primitive and wide net. I can't imagine a valid use case for dropping a text sent to a number when that number just sent you a text a few seconds before.
I don't understand why SMS spam has such a big issue with false positives compared to email spam when emails are practically free to send but SMS is much more costly.
(Yes, I know there are a lot of false positives on email too ... but we run into false positive SMS spam issues a lot even though it feels like it should be a much simpler problem to solve).
This looks interesting and bears more investigation. One bit of quick feedback: the initial gif/movie is way too fast to follow if you don't really know what you are looking at.
Microsoft (used to?) offer this for developer support and I remember using it maybe 15 years ago where it was a couple of hundred bucks to open a ticket but you got quick access to a real expert and good escalation.
If the issue turned out to be their problem the ticket was refunded.
For something business critical like this it is a way of signaling to the company that there is clearly somethin wrong with the automated process: a real scammer won't pony up hundreds of $ to get a review they would fail.
I have some custom code to convert CSV files downloaded from my bank to beancounts text format, but it is all dotNet code since that is what I know the text format is easy to work with
Very true, and not only do print statements inherently serialized threads, they also change the timing so significantly that probably your bug disappears anyway.
Locking in 4% AFTER TAX yield ... if you invest the $300K and it earns 4% you still can't pay the mortgage interest with those funds
