. @cmonkey @FrameworkPuter I've got a delayed Framework 13 due to a bezel. If it was possible to easily change to any other bezel or even remove from the order, I easily would without complaint. If if this was an option, you'd have a happier customer, inventory flowing and less

I think @YouTubeTV is great. But at my parents house every 1-2 months it gets confused and thinks they moved 2 hours north, shifting all their local channels. Re-verifying location is confusing, even for someone technical let along my older parents. I beg you, please fix this so

Not pro-rating a move out refund is just theft. Lining up your lease, move date and service connect date with precision isn’t normal. @astoundconnects , I’m astounded by your shortsighted policy. Why would I put you first in my new home when your last touch put me last? You’ve

Dear @ycombinator, I hear you on the enterprise software riff. I’ve worked inside bigco and had to integrate with an ancient SAP that only ran on IE6 because the upgrade costs were crazy. It was actually a fun challenge. But it’s tough to get my mind back into enterprise

Anytime I’ve moved to a place that had @GetSpectrum or @Xfinity I’ve been deeply frustrated to struggle to find what my upload bandwidth would be. My work has connectivity requirements and certain ISP’s bury critical details to the point I’ve avoided moving there. As recently as

When you think of ISPs, you probably don't think "easy and transparent". GFiber is committed to changing that. We're excited the FCC's new internet "nutrition labels" and how they will grow consumer trust in our industry. More from our CEO Dinni Jain:

Would you mind making sure someone sees this @kvogt — thanks! Love seeing your vehicles around but I also want to feel safe.

Just got my very long standing, paid @Dropbox account completely deleted because they didn't like some file I had stored. Email warning was buried under a tab. Exceptional breech of trust, Dropbox. I'd say lesson learned, but more like lesson reinforced. Backup everything.

Who wants to work with me? I’m looking to bring on a PHP/Laravel developer to work with me on @ObjectCachePro and @RelayCache.

I’ve had @CitizenApp installed for almost 72 hours. It feels like a real life version of the news ticker in classic SimCity. Waiting for “Heads Roll When Rollerblader Hits Tourist Group”

.@WyzeCam took me 2 days to track down that your base station firmware update turned it into a DHCP server. Certain this is an accident and it created absolute havoc on my network. I’d pass this to a network engineer on that team ASAP. It’s useless in current state.

You win @CoinbaseSupport -- I get that you're record level busy right now, but the back and forth, closing of tickets, resubmitting everything, re-verifying my account in an interface that's broken on mobile. You've worn me down. I'll wait for my @BinanceUS verification.

Feels like a strange problem for @NWS to have a bandwidth problem but likely a straightforward win for @Cloudflare, especially with all the progress on Workers — and this stuff appears mostly static. @eastdakota, y’all GSA approved? #saveourweatherapps

1/ There will be no update today. At 8:30 am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech. They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint. They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids..
