Super interesting topic. Long and boring article.

Agree. Yet, I find myself checking social media to see if the company is still alive/active. When seeing a lot of activity on social media, I assume they do well or at least they are still in business.

I am using dev tools when editing templates in mailchimp interface code editor. Did not get banned yet.

Service status pages are so useless.

At this point, I just default to downdetector

It's for nostalgia - the one bit of early web that's still unchanged.

Alan Watts, but rather than his books I recommend to start with audiobook with his lectures.

I have this bookmarked from a few weeks ago found on HN [1].

Not usable for these high volumes tho.

I have tried email to sms, it doesn't work at my scale.

If you have rough estimates for what the upper limits of this approach are (based on your tests), I'd love to get a datapoint to keep in mind. I use this at low-moderate volumes.

I was shopping for TV a few months ago, and spent weeks researching. My conclusion is that most online the reviews are useless, all the quality comparison is something I would never notice myself. I went with TCL 50" Class 4 Series 4K UHD Smart Roku TV, Model: 50S435, and I love it. Cheap, roku works great, quality is great, I don't use cable, I am streaming from Netflix only.

I got the 43" from the same line a couple years ago, and it's been likewise excellent.

One of the biggest reasons I keep buying apple products and do not mind the cost, is that I always have great experience with Apple handling my issues. I had my AirPods Pro replaced twice for no cost (sure they shouldn't break on their own, but still), they fixed my laptop while on warranty for no cost. Once when I had to pay for fixing my keyboard (4 year old laptop without apple care), they charged me for the keyboard replacement and they returned me a laptop with new screen and new battery free of charge.

Also, I dont know if they have 24/7 support, but last week I had live chat with their support on Sunday evening.

I feel the opposite. The harder to get here, the more exclusive it feels.
