B2B is just businesses fighting over the value chain. Blacksmith can send as many invoices as they want. If the other business doesn't think it's worth the cost after the free tria…

I don't understand this

Passports are fine, and the facilities for getting them are nicer.

TIL that Backblaze has a desktop app. Seems this is specific to Windows and does not impact anyone using it as just a storage backend for backups through something like rclone.

It is different when you have a billion customers, all with different setups. At that scale, you notice real defects through product telemetry, support ticket volume, or trusted ch…

I don't have to grant Word a license to what I type in it. This is a highly unusual clause that other software doesn't have. When software has to "phone home" to deliver the functi…
