This is where credit fraud protection comes into place, and class action law-suits start for all of the declined claims from people who have had their credit cards used illegally, and the bills not dropped by Visa.

I'd be surprised if there aren't already commericals on TV for 'Do you have a Visa credit card? Has your credit card been used without your consent, and the charges not dropped by Visa, call us now, you may be entitled to X"

Sorry... I'll see myself out now.

Let's all jump on board for lawsuits that only make the lawyers money!

Hey I need that 30 cents!

I still have a working, and very powerful, PA-RISC powered desktop.

We got mail just fine it's the sending that got us all day.

That, also, would explain the overall silence.

I'm just impatiently waiting for the cars to come out and the government to get the laws going!!!!!

@JaredBusch is that a Christmas theme on your Telegram?

In the built in gallery. a little ways down. a star field/nova/milkyway. not sure exactly which. but by space fanatic daughter loved that background. so there we go.

I got the email about this product a day after we discussed it here on ML.

Looking at this project now, just doesn't seem like they have updated much. I like the idea of being to have more than one unit and create a mesh environment.

Watching this to see how it goes, and if I want to add it to my rPi list.

Some folks are having a bad day. A real bad day.

HP seems to be selling off a lot of stuff recently...

Definitely trimming the fat if nothing else.

Yeah, if there's not a mango-flavored wheat beer, you should pretty much shut it down. 🙂

Congrats!

That's what I'm talking about!

Oh wow I hadn't heard either This really stinks. My guess is we will no longer be using them.

I had used CCB for years, but most of 2015 just sucked with my purchasing through them, so I began looking for options.

I chose Softmart based on recommendations from people in the community.

It has never been a great experience. Response times have consistently been slow, and lately, nearly non-existent. But I was trying to give it a solid year because I do not generally deal with a ton of hardware purchasing.

I bet that they have known the change was coming and just stopped trying. This really sucks

If they were bought in May, they'd have known for quite some time.

@aidan_walsh yes, same with Nextcloud and Pydio. All projects are split up, as I note in the blog, which is why I also looked at statistics from OpenHub which looks at ALL repositories associated to a project.

However, in a conversation with Seafile, it came up that their specific way of organization and way of working does make them look worse than it is: while github also shows lines of code changed, OpenHub does not. And they say their core contributors work often with very large commits so it doesn't show the activity very well relative to other projects. It still shows a decline in activity the last year or so, though, but they said the fork had no effect as the German team didn't contribute code anyway.

Note that I wasn't out to specifically make anyone look bad, though obviously putting the numbers next to each other makes clear how things are, relatively speaking. That is why I sampled a wide range of numbers rather than cherry picking the last day or only one statistic.

Alas, it is still statistics, and you can only trust those you doctor yourself, so all the links in the article go directly to where I took the data from and people can check for themselves.

I honestly didn't know what I could do in a nicer and more balanced way to point out how we're doing and how that stacks up in the open source file sync and share world. But suggestions welcome.

Who in their right mind is out there still using 3rd party app stores or side-loading? It's almost like they want to be hacked.

Strangely, every time I talk about why I don't like Android, people tell me to do exactly this!

Once @gjacobse is back working from home I will do a test of the new Mac one and see how it works.
