    Stripe is a nightmare and I found support to be awful and not know their own product. We are a UK company but now have clients worldwide and worldwide bank accounts (thanks to Wise…

    I'm a Cogent customer and we wouldn't be where we are without them, but, they give me the most headaches out of any provider I have to deal with. I tried raising a complaint as the…

    Probably the dumbest thing I've said, but, just skim read as I'm no expert and these detailed reports go over my head. Why is it such a bad vulnerability if it requires a sudo comm…

    Up until a few years ago I had to support a .Net 2 app for a global company. I had a few Windows 2000 VMs and they were a joy to use. Started in seconds - I could have LOADS of sna…

    Yep - but, the iPhone came from nowhere, and, "no copy and paste" was put out by Microsoft to say how bad it was... Microsoft basically took a backwards step from Windows CE and th…
