I'm confused till this day. I'm not shitting you, guys, this was one of the weirdest experience I ever made with software.

>>51234408
Same here.

Made it my main mail provider and now can't access shit..

They look like amateurs right now.

I'm not a professional when it comes to IT security but shouldn't they be prepared for DDoS attacks AND have a backup server with another ISP?

>>51234483
Yeah, I thought they were a little more professional than this to be honest. Now they have a funding campaign for $50,000. Why do they even need people to help donate? They used all their $550,377 from IndieGoGo (which was well over their asked amount) and then ask for more once they pay a ransom? A little infuriating. How much are they paying on servers anyway? If I'm not paying for email, then who is? They just aren't looking as solid as they were before.

This is why you buy your own domain name. I registered mine for 10 years, and if I ever had issues with a mail provider (not likely since I run my own mail server) I could just change the MX records to another provider. Since I've still got a legacy Google Apps for Business account my downtime would only be limited to whatever the TTL I set on my current MX records is (six hours, which is withing the 24 hours the RFC specifies for email servers to keep retrying to deliver.)

Nothing wrong in my mind being proud of something as long as we are still on the top. We are still on top of innovation. We have our issues but I am glad our trickle down is making your lives better.

I used to dislike smartphones.

Never bother buying one.
But I got one from my job.

Now I quit my job so no more smartphone, and I notice I do miss it.

Prove me wrong

>>51233426
Battery last 10+ hours
Decent camera for the price

You can remove the bloatware by rooting and installing cyanogenmod.
Even then, if you don't want to root. You can disable or uninstall most of the shit.

What bugs?

You're right, that thinkpad is a lot better seeing as everything isn't soldered down.
