In our case, the comparison was: Spectrum: 79.99/mo - 300Mbps down - 15Mbps up GoNetSpeed: 79.99/mo - 1000Mbps down - 1000Mbps up The price above is their normal price.

Central servers required to run an ap are in most cases evil. Professionally I work on a cloud based service, but it actually isn't one that makes sense to be distributed and isn't about collaboration, so it is suited for the cloud. It's basically a matter of us outsourcing the data center, which is what the cloud really is good for (but is still somewhat evil since it results in global single points of failure where a *lot* of companies go down at once when the cloud services die.) And yes, it makes use of the customer activity data...but only in anonymous aggregate and to entice partners to make the system better, and I can state that with confidence because I've overseen all the design and code that went in to doing it. Personally I don't store anything in the cloud except the stuff that google backs up for me on my phone, and even most of that I have disabled. (Cloud backup isn't a bad thing conceptually, but it should really be encrypted so that the backup provider can't read it, which is not true for most phone backups...see tarsnap.com for good (non-phone) cloud backup if you are techie, by the way.) In general I avoid products that ought to be something that can run locally but instead stores my personal data on their servers (which means I miss out on a lot of cool stuff but I don't really care) and keep hoping companies will produce equivalents that only read and write from my own servers, but for obvious sell-our-customers-data reasons very few to none do. As for the technology the article talks about, I haven't investigated any of the truly distributed approaches to collaboration, but I've heard of several, and I heartily approve of them and wish them luck. Unfortunately the economics are against any of it becoming widespread unless we really do manifest another cultural shift like open source software itself was.

For the past 7 years I have maintained a weekly email newsletter on MailChimp, first called "Clarity First" and then "Love and Work". Here's this week's issue . You'll see each issue is made up of a few commentary posts containing a title, some category words, an image, a caption, a few paragraphs, and a link to the outside source I am commenting on. Now I want to re-sort the individual stories contained in these (363!) posts into a catalog, or a directory, on WordPress, using a theme like this Listbook Directory . I want export all of these issues, separate each individual story - along with the images - into individual blog posts, categorize them, and then import them into a new WordPress directory site that is searchable by category. I'm hoping that there is an automated way to do this. But this is way beyond my experience level or interest. I'm seeking someone who knows how to do this, or can learn to do this. Can anyone help me? Thanks. Mitch Anthony -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I should have known that. But with zero documentation and plug-and-play on WiFi, I had no expectation that Ethernet would be involved, and just didn?t recognize it. Someone else asked if my soundbar has both HDMI in and out, and the answer is yes. I think this can be solved using HDMI, just wired differently from my current setup. What?s the current hive thinking: is HDMI ARC a must, or just a little sound enhancement?

Experienced designers will typically offer an estimate range, based on an assessment of the project that is made after having a brief initial conversation. This initial consult will usually be provided at no charge, unless there is a larger scope and/or the complexity is higher?in that case there might be a 'discovery', which could be a paid opportunity assessment that involves some meetings, workshops, writing a project plan, and coming up with a more precise estimate range. Additional factors include the region of the client and the designer, industry, timeframe, etc. A bootstrapped lemonade stand logo won't cost the same as a bank. FWIW, I would not recommend presenting your own concept or drawing to a designer. That is the job of the designer. If you want to hire someone to simply 'professionalize' a drawing you already have, there are cheap online services for that.

And Siteground website interference. Seeking a new non-disruptive web hosting company. Message-ID: Hi All, Just reaching out to our community with a query about site hosting. I feel like a site hosting nomad, as each new web host starts behaving in ways that are disruptive. I've went from LiquidWeb (once awesome) until they sold out to Deluxe (disaster), to Hostgator (fair quality - not great, until they cheapened their service), to Siteground, where I've been since 2016. More and more, they've been interfering with my website, constantly "updating" it without my permission - end result, my work is constantly interrupted by their "pushed" disruption of my website. I reluctantly went to wordpress, to use a theme that would self-adjust to be viewed by a laptop, phone, or tablet, around 2015? I have the 2015 theme which I really like, and no Gutenberg. I hate the Guttenberg back end interface. Their fees have gone up a lot. I'm less and less happy with their service. Any thoughts for good non-disruptive web hosting?

I?ve used PDF Expert for years and have been very happy with it. Plus I could edit docs in the cloud from Mac, iPad and even iPhone (separate purchases, but worth it for me).

And Siteground website interference. Seeking a new non-disruptive web hosting company. In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Lisa, We recently decided to stop web hosting and concentrate on our web development, and I did a great deal of research and reaching out to various companies to find one I could pass my wonderful clients on to. I finally settled on glowhost.com, a mid-range host with 16 data centers that I hadn't heard of before. At this point, I've spent many hours chatting with Matt, the owner, and a number of his technicians as well as had a front row seat in the process of migrated over 200 clients to their system including all of my websites. They are excellent in all respects, and certainly as compared to any of the big hosts. Their tech people are great, response time is fast, you can reach them by ticket, phone or website chat. They go well above and beyond what is normal tech support. If you do some research you'll see that their reviews from both clients and tech reviewers are excellent. LIke Itabix, they use high quality servers which run regular cPanel along with CloudLinux (which makes each account almost a virtual server), they give SSH access, daily backup is included for all accounts except the two economy plans which are backed up weekly, their pricing is not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. In short, I recommend them very strongly.

It's not a matter of USB 2.0 vs 3.0. Some are quite fast (up to 300 MB/s) while some are achingly slow (4-5 MB/s). Each drive has a fast initial cache, but once that is exhausted in a larger copy procedure, the transfer rate will go down to whatever the media can handle. ? ? ? *Zach Fried* *PeopleFirst Technology* Human-Focused Consulting By Appointment: 24 S.

(specifically, a Samsung Galaxy S8+, using the "Messages" app, Version 10.1.51.75) I spent way too much time last night trying two different apps, but failed. I only need one conversation saved, and I need the document to include the day/time stamps. The apps I tried: * SMS Backup & Restore * Legal Text Collector (And yes, in case someone asks, I have already saved the whole thing as several screenshots, but I am learning that it is much more acceptable in the court context to save it as a seamless document with clear dates/times for each entry.) God help me if I need to get on with Verizon Tech Support. In my experience, it could take hours, dealing with folks who truly don't know the answer but pretend they do while putting you on hold forever, then having to ask for someone in the US after I can't understand the English attempts by the folks in the Philippines and/or India and wherever the heck else they have their "Customer Service" these days. I know Verizon must pinch pennies and about to go bankrupt and all, but...(Sorry, I know I am ranting, but I hope some of you can relate and commiserate!) Thanks in advance, Deb -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
