They paid devs and gave them Lumia phones. I still remember writing a trivial app for Windows Phone and getting $100 and a Lumia 521, which was pretty good IMO.

Google acted terribly towards Windows Phone, breaking Youtube and anything else 3rd party devs or Microsoft wrote for Windows Phone. Google Maps for mobile browsers was pretty awful until Google was sure that AT&T and Verizon were done selling Windows Phones

Most low cost solutions are based on Asterisk or Freeswitch...

I would check that Google isn't ratelimiting you, and I would also check that your hard drive/SSD and RAM aren't dying. I've experienced issues like what you describe, but the first time was caused by a dying hard disk, and the 2nd by Google limiting the number of IMAP connections to a hilariously low number.

I ended up going to Thunderbird for my main email addresses (work & personal), with Rainmail for quasi-disposable addresses on my various domains. Works much better than Gmail did towards the end of my years using Gmail.

This seems to be quite hit and miss when I've looked around at work cultures in Seattle, free beer at work correlating with working much past 4pm is a weak sign at best.

I think it was a typo on the prior commenters part, but apparently my comment got flagged. Man HN is touchy!

Exactly, why should the whole web suffer just from the shitty internal practices of some large companies. If their trashcan ready hardware is breaking TLS, they can deal with the consequences.

Generally you can get by without photo ID, your Social Security card is much more important to have wrt benefits and employment.

Based on what you stated, I assume this VPS is running on OpenVZ? If so, I doubt it will ever see newer kernel features, in part due to OpenVZ hosts relying on ancient LTS kernel branches and also due to OpenVZ "optimizations", whereby kernel features that use extra resources to enable just get disabled. Or, if your lucky they'll give you a button to re-enable them for youe container on an ad-hoc basis.

Heads up, $20 yearly and similar KVM deals are becoming more common, and you can run any kernel you want in KVM :P

Yeah, its called a VPU aka Video Processing Unit. If your hardware implements video decoding, they likely have licensed or designed their own VPU IP block.

Mood changes, personality swings and the like are what I saw happen to my friend, it almost destroyed her multi-year relationship. Switching to the ring for birth control was like night and day, plus its still very effective.
