Are you having issues because of locality (videos only play based on your location)? If you have a server/PC at home running, would ZeroTier be a viable solution for this?

Nevermind. Re-read your original post. I clearly didn't pay attention.

That is so awesome. They have been trying to help her for so long! I never even thought of using it for her!

OK it didn't work for Salmon crested cockatoo either. interesting.

and no this isn't a slam, just a point of note.

"what are you doing?"

Siri had a 'simple' response.

@John-Nicholson has a lot of info about the red headed stepchild that is SFU.

I agree that the term "unlimited" is often abused though. I don't know if it's the same in the US, but we had a big problem over here with ISPs offering "unlimited" internet usage that was actually capped. I think the term was "Unlimited - subject to fair usage policy" where fair usage was an arbitrary figure set by the ISP.

Is that not protected by the Trades Description Act?

I second Digital Ocean. They have 1 click installers for wordpress.

This could be devastating for Backspace Email. Amazon is such a huge player with so much visibility.

Not really sure there isn't a ton yet. I do know that it works with IOS. So in theory I should be able to add things that and from that I can import easily into Exchange.

It has an app for iOS. I'm not sure if that qualifies as "works with iOS." My understanding is that it adds appointments to its own app, not to iOS or Android. Hopefully they expand that feature.

thinking about it some more, the unit still powers on. I should try and find a replacement screen for it next summer when (if) I go back to Japan when I send the family back.

I just registered for one.

How come they don't fail over the VMs to another server, then update the original server move them back and so on as to make it an update with no down time?

Cloud is not high availability. That's a very common misconception. Cloud is beneath the HA layer. Anyone who had HA stayed up and running, of course, but cloud itself is not HA.

They easily could have chosen to do so, but the workload would not offset the cost I am sure.

Not really, because you can only do so much HA at that layer. Not every workload can be made HA in that way. But more importantly, HA is always an option and most importantly, HA is something you do, not something that you buy. But anyone who had an outage, like us, chose to not pay for HA because it is cheaper to have blips than to have the cost of HA.

It's really the end users who opted out of HA.

Same with Prime music and Prime VOD. Nice but not great.
