You need to get someone out there. Just tell them over and over again its an outside wiring problem and demand they dispatch a tech. the tech will have different phone numbers with people that sort of know what they are doing. At least this worked before chat gpt ate the world.

Sounds to me like they already had at least three on-site visits by technicians.

POP has been a problematic protocol since 2000 or so.

Perhaps for main email-management use, but it perfectly fits the model of yanking a single stream of email from server A to load into server B - without resorting to forwarding, which is problematic because the middlemen don’t want the spam that gets forwarded to reflect poorly upon their IP reputation.

The thing is its much harder to higher a good junior dev. With a senior dev i can ask about the [hardest/most interesting/thing you would like to talk about] bug and talk through how they solved it to understand how their brain works.

With a Jr you basically need to spend an hour pair programming to sus out the great ones and no one has yet put in the time to filter out the bottom X0%.

I'm sure I'll eat some donuts here, but Ulysses is neither an interesting nor a well written story.

Oh come on. A snot green nose rag. You can almost taste it, can't you?

If text can make you gag with revulsion, it is, by definition, good communication.

One of the most frustrating features of ChatGPT is “memories” which can cause that poisoning to follow you around between chats.

Give feast of the goat a shot. It’s still great and a much quicker read.

Will do, thanks for the recommendation.

90 days? We don't know what is going to happen tomorrow or more to the point if you put goods on a boat to the USA you have no way to predict what the tariff will be when they arrive. If you are selling a product that relies on imported parts you can not know your cost of goods until they clear customs.

We are literally in the process of moving some of our operations to LATM to avoid this uncertainty.

After a house guest decided to accept the EULA and connect my smart tv to the internet it took me years to figure out how to get it to function without being connected to the internet.
