I am going through something very similar. My entire family is on the same T-Mobile plan, and on recent iPhones - however, my wife's phone is the only one where RCS fails to work over Wi-Fi (only works over cellular). I've reset her network settings completely, no dice. T-Mobile support is worthless on this and basically just offered to recreate her eSim (didn't work). Apple said I need to talk to T-Mobile, not them. When she's off Wi-Fi, it seems to work. I honestly have no idea what could be broken here.

Reminds me of this scene from Real Genius: https://youtu.be/wB1X4o-MV6o

I didn't read the article, but when I read the headline, I immediately thought of that scene with all of the recorders!

Yeah I thought of that scene too. But for some reason I thought it was from "Back to School"

Same, we're so close to the meeting organizer to be AI slop next.

I remember hanging out in #mpeg3 on EFNet many many years ago and becoming an acquaintance of Justin Frankel while he was working on this. I had made a skin and even a few tray icons for him to use in the app, and some of them are in here. I can't remember 100% which ones were mine, but the punchlabel one definitely was. My name is in the credits too: https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/blob/0695744fd658c42...

I wonder if you would have linked this credits page had you been assigned the title "BREAST EXAMINER" OR "NUDE SCENES" like some others, haha

Another project that is still going as far as I know: https://internet-in-a-box.org/

This is fabulous, thanks.

Meanwhile, I've had two USW-Lite-16-POE's fail just outside their two year warranty period, alongside a CloudKey and other equipment from them. It's just junk and they don't stand behind it. I'm transitioning away from them as best I can. The only thing I have left is my gateway and some APs.

The hard drive on my Cloudkey Gen2 Plus failed less than a year after I bought it. I don’t blame Ubiquiti for a hard drive failure. I blame them for designing the device to be fanless but constantly hot to the touch (44 degrees as I’m writing this, with two 120mm fans right next to it). Countless support posts complaining about poor hard drive lifespan in that kind of environment, but never a response from Ubiquiti or a redesign.

I put a heatsink and fan on the outside of mine. Didn't trust the "passive" cooling

If you still want to use SOHO equipment, I like Aruba instant-on a lot. Their APs are just as good as Ubiquiti's and you don't need a separate doodad to control them, the first one you set up can control the others.

I have never had a truly successful (by my standards) auto park with my Tesla (with USS). It either fails to "enable" - meaning I can't even start it - or it takes so long to do it's maneuvers I may as well have just done it myself - and when it does complete, it's not centered like I would like - or it gave me a heart attack getting too close to some other car, etc.

Used gandi for forever, then they had a major hardware issue and lost customer's data and kinda was rude about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822 - so I decided to move my business elsewhere.

Where is 'elsewhere'?

I had a weird issue the other day (two days ago?) too where trying to load Microsoft Store/check for updates would just completely freeze the program. And also my start menu would not execute apps - I could search for them and hit enter to run them - but nothing would happen.

I'm wondering if it was related to some of this. You're absolutely right that an OS should never "soft-lock" on cloud/networking issues. It's insane to me that we still deal with this as programmers in the year 2021. Write asynchronous code. Expect network slowness or weirdness.

If I remember correctly, then your specific issue was supposedly fixed in one of the recent Insider builds.

Windows Search is heavily cloud-dependent, and yes it’s performance suffers under poor network conditions.

The response from the repo owner is so bizarre. I believe Cassidy presented his viewpoint (on behalf of the org) pretty straightforward and "nicely", and it feels like the repo maintainer is just trying to play the technicality/gotcha game, and not respond to the original request.

From a discussion standpoint, krisives is indirectly saying they don't believe there's a valid trademark in here, and so they're indirectly saying they don't want to change the name. OK. If you have no intentions of complying with the polite request, just say so. It's sort of a jerk move (in my opinion), but OK I guess. Then elementary can bring about legal stuff if they wanna go that route. Why cause all this drama?

Also, this sort of thing happens quite often in the community, for open source projects and not. Being polite to other OSS maintainers goes a long way.

Which part do you think was "a jerk move"

I think you mis-read me - what I was saying is, if the repo maintainers wanna just say no, we don't wanna comply - they're fine to do that I guess, I personally think it would be sort of a jerk move. Renaming something on Github is trivial. It's a bizarre hill to die on.
