Had a similar experience with a Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 6.

In my case I spent 1,850€ (~$1,990) and ended up buying a ThinkPad P14s, couldn't be happier now.

So if you want to opt out, there's no setting to switch, you need to send an email with a specific subject:

> Contact us to opt out. [...] To opt out, please have your Org or Workspace Owners or Primary Owner contact our Customer Experience team at [email protected] with your Workspace/Org URL and the subject line “Slack Global model opt-out request.” [...]

Thank you for the detailed explanation, it's not my specialty yet really fun to scratch a bit of the surface in other aspects :)

Great project! Thank you for building it.

If the UI was simpler and more "Apple-like" (hate to say this) I could convince my non-tech coworkers/family/friends to use it.

Also, could you auto detect the other peer's OS? You could skip an extra step and UI element. Do you need it to know which WiFi bandwidth to use?

I've had similar issues.

At a few months old, the laptop (a Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 6) couldn't hold a meeting.

Their customer service suggested I disabled the graphics card and to throttle the CPU, converting a $2000 laptop into a $1000 one spec-wise.

After a year and a half, I've just moved to a Thinkpad at half the cost and I couldn't be happier.

I wanted to support a smaller company rather than Lenovo but that's how it is, there where many other nuances I had to deal with (2 dead pixels, awful sound, microphone was meh, TuxedoOS started giving me kernel problems every update...).

I understand this is more tailored at communities and such (being the Business plan the last in the tier), but for Linen to be a Slack alternative we'd need App integrations (Google Calendar, Jira, etc) as well as other features such as to send scheduled messages, snooze/bookmark incoming messages for later, a strong channel administration/management, and a few other features that increase productivity and we can't live without.

As I said, businesses are probably not the main target customers for Linen so it's completely understandable, I would've loved it though. Great work!

You're right, I guess I'm still thinking on a few experiences I had way in the past when the Internet was still early and contacting them was a waste of time: they couldn't understand you nor had the time to do so. It's true they now have many more resources and experts in their departments and, as you say, may at least give some good advice on what to do during the panic stage to try and at least mitigate it. Providing them with logs and proof would have been a good idea too.

Oh my, the attack caused so much wasted time and stress that it's still haunting me and the team, specially when thinking that it may not stop there and the attacker/s is just waiting for the next chance to hit us. The days after the attack the first thing I did after waking up was check the servers to see everything was safe. And our roadmap was severely affected too, prioritizing many security features we had in the backlog.

Thank you so much.

Glad to hear there's hefty sentences, many attackers don't realize how much damage they're doing and all the stress and effort that goes into trying to mitigate such attacks.

Thank you!

I would be very grateful if you could share any info about this.

Our small company's site got DDoSed a month ago and we just let it pass since we're not too convinced that the authorities will take us seriously. We don't even know where to start, just saved the logs with a few hundred random IPs from different countries hoping some day we can do something about it...

Is there a way to import data from Postman?

Looks great BTW.

Looks really nice actually!

How do they fund development? Nagging about their icons8 subscription?

I've been using tmate for quite a while and it works great, minimal setup needed.

Can anyone shed some light on the pros/cons of each?
