- 100% — will never be automated :)
- Because you'd have a ton of downtime and they'd rather hide it if they could. :)
I used to work at a very big cloud service provider, and as the initial comment mentioned, we'd get a ton of escalations/alerts in a day, but the majority didn't necessarily warrant a status page update (only affecting X% of users, or not 'major' enough, or not having any visible public impact).
I don't really agree with that, but that was how it was. A manger would decide whether or not to update the status page, the wording was reviewed before being posted, etc. All that takes a lot of time.
- UXG definitely does DHCP and DNS.
- https://www.dns0.eu/ is an option
- I'm missing some information on how this works (a LLM? which? Do I need to bring an API key? Does this work offline?) and what I can expect in terms of performance/battery hit.
- It doesn't require a WiFi device to work.
> If you’d like to prevent your pet’s movement from causing motion notifications, you can exclude pet motion in your WiFi Motion settings by turning on the Exclude Small Pets feature. > Motion is detected based on the amount of signal disruption taking place between the Xfinity Gateway and your selected WiFi-connected devices, so motion from small pets (around 40 pounds or less) can be filtered out while keeping you notified of large movements more likely to be caused by humans.
- From my understanding it tracks signal strength between two points (gateway and printer for example).
Putting your phone in airplane mode doesn't make it think you have left the house.

- Most maintenance doesn't require a full shutdown. C-checks are done every 2 years or so.
- iMessage isn't really popular in Europe. Whatsapp is.
- Fair enough, but it keeps working with your (old) sim. iMessage deregisters every time, and it stops working for me. And you have to head back in settings and register again.
I've found the process to be very buggy and rarely works.
- SMS is definitely not free. You may have a bundle that includes X (or unlimited) amount of SMS, but there are plenty of subscriptions out there (maybe not in the US) that charge by the SMS, or come with bundles of only having, say, 50 free SMS per month.
In all fairness, no one uses SMS, and no one uses iMessage (outside of the US maybe?).
WhatsApp is omnipresent in Singapore. For example, every business, every support channel, every delivery company uses WhatsApp. WhatsApp QR codes are everywhere (similar to QQ/wechat in CN).
Most iPhone users I know in Singapore never even set up their iMessage (which is also only available on iOS and is a total pain to get to work if you're dabbling in various sim cards, as is very common in SEA). So yes, there's a very good reason WhatsApp is very popular in some parts of the world (similar to BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) until quite recently in Indonesia). It's become too big to fail and took over a very very big portion of (private/business) communication in many parts of the world. And it 100% needs more regulation.
- Sigh, I just moved a bunch of domains over, after The Jolly Teapot started using and recommended them.

- Well, I'm doing that, and in this case, Cloudflare 'protects' the website and blocks it (based on my Belgian IP). So no matter what DNS I use, it see "Unavailable For Legal Reasons".
- a thousand times this.
- Actually, Fastly and Akamai also provide exits. Cloudflare isn't the only provider.
- While I definitely wouldn't trust this tech, we've also normalised phoning home with all western tech.
How many products keep sending all kind of unknown telemetry, have a ton of trackers, etc?
Can't really blame them doing the same.
- Yes. It's not going to be hard 'traceable' cash, but it'll be favours and other permits.
- Still -- seems a lot ?
