It's wonderful. I run a UCG Max at home to support both my internet needs and camera storage. Run their other gear in several other SMB environments, including a condo where we're using it for office, building automation, and public area networking along with around 80 cameras. Dead simple to understand.

Exactly. Had they invoked the idea of a shrink ray and knolled the tiny items, then pressed those into a unified object, revealed to be the latest iPad (with a needlessly spec-bumped processor and inflated price) then it might have accomplished their objective.

I keep Kirkland canned Cold Brew stocked in my office. We have great hot options at work, but not iced ones. But we do have ice. It's bitter, it's unsweetened, but it packs a good amount of caffeine and is incredibly convenient. Even took a case with me on a cruise.
I have enjoyed UCC in the past; It's good, but I prefer my coffee without sugar or cream. I didn't try any of the hot canned options while in Japan, but did absolutely love some of the choices for other products I found in various vending machines.
The problem is that knowing the rug can be yanked out anytime, the desire of people who helped write and maintain the tools to do so has somewhat fallen to zero.
One Snoo not working around the clock is /u/Cryfi the Snoo responsible for helping my subreddit land and manage AMAs. They were unceremoniously shown the door and none of the mods were notified.
I had a pair of these for doing webhosting back in the day. I'd colo'd them at a sublet space in a New Orleans data center. Reliability got really spotty at one point - turns out the guy I rented the Us from had failed to pay his bill. We got kicked out and he took all the equipment (about 3 full racks) and piled it into his car. He then took it to his pool house where he'd had a T1 line dropped in. He owned the IP block, so they didn't need to re-address anything. I only found out why things were so slow when I demanded to come get my hardware.
Sadly, not my worst colo experience. That went to a Texas-based, name brand "dedicated server" operation who had a secondary site in Chicago. I bought a server there solely for offsite backups; it was plagued with issues. Turns out, the data center was the scene of constant theft - by the employees. It came to a head one night when off-the-clock employees injured the on-duty employee, cut a hole in the wall, and then made off with all sorts of networking and computing gear. The company lied for months, held data hostage, and kept money for services they didn't provide. I think Chris Faulkner is still in jail now, so he can't make good on his threats to sue me now. Dude got really pissed when customers told the truth on Web Hosting Talk. I hope he enjoys every last minute at FCI LOMPOC.
Even though that's a great idea, you end up with articles about how Business X is exploiting disabled people.
I recall when the PRWORA was being considered and touted as a way to provide an escape from poverty, but employers who hire workers who would be trapped in social program-driven poverty are now being maligned as somehow evil for doing so.
The site was instrumental in uncovering the EPA reporting that the city tried to hide for more than a year and has direct sources involved in the operation of the plant.
