Nice job touching on backward compatibility. It’s underrated.

Thank you. This fits a current need of mine perfectly.

Do you have any other helpful tips you’d like to share? Any thoughts between Redis and Memcache?

+1 on the SIM theory.

Carrier, iso country code, mobile country code, mobile network code, and more are all easily accessible data attributes.

Humans make mistakes, and Patrick apologized on the behalf of this experience.

While there may be opinions on whether or not this “makes it right”, apologies in today’s world should still carry some worth.

Another +1 for Postmark. Reliable and insightful.

What really sold me personally as a bootstrapper was how they offer initial credit for their services to help get going.

I’ve given this thought for an older MBP of mine that can’t upgrade to latest OS so that it can be used as a CI.

My issue with that is 1. Can I trust the hackintosh to not be compromised and 2. Uploading an IPA via hackintosh feels like bananas.

You pretty much dotted the i’s and crossed the T’s on this one.

The general idea is too complex for me to give a solid, single piece of advice on how to identify genuine vs not, but what I can tell you is this:

I recently became aware of a very real death of a close Philippine friend’s grandmother and I knew their family couldn’t afford a proper burial. So I requested to talk to the eldest of the family, offered to cover cost (less than the price of a new iPad) with their approval to do so, and for my name to not be included in the justification.

For context - I’ve personally been to the Philippines a few times and seen some of the ups and downs (white American since birth). Never sent that friend or their family anything before nor felt compelled to do this. I’m grateful for what I have in life and for those who have done good toward me, so simply paying it forward.

Any plans to add developing countries, in particular the Philippines?

What key metrics do you observe when it boils down to determining whether or not you feel it is a good or bad time to buy?
