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
absolutely not true!! and other competitors like 3cx have been eating their lunch for years. the fact of the matter is FreePBX, even for the most knowledgeable audience is still a PITA to work with and configure.

Agree to disagree. I cut my teeth on freepbx; love it, miss it, constantly yell at my customers digium appliances in disappointment that they don't live up to their sibling. I rolled my old MSP over to it without any hassle and afaik they're still running it a few years later and I know none of them have touched it for admin. Rolled it on my VPS for my own consulting needs and it's pain free.
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.
I have to use Thunderbird for work and I wish it was 1% as good as Gmail. The search sucks, it's slow to receive mail, it crashes quite often. Either your Gmail is profoundly broken or you have a magic Thunderbird. In case the latter is true: do you have any tips to optimise Thunderbird?
Have been running Thunderbird for G-Apps based work email for over a year (Fedora 26,27). Using the Provider for Google Calendar extension works well for integrating calendar into Thunderbird.
Other than fighting with the calendar occasionally (sometimes needing to force a manual sync to see coworkers' events), Gmail in Thunderbird has been pretty smooth. I have not noticed slow search, slow mail receipt, or application crashes. In fact, the search is often too good, in that after running it it matches hundreds of more emails than I usually expect. I usually stick with the quick filter which is a bit less flexible, but generally returns more useful results.
Another advantage, on Linux at least, is that if you copy your ~/.thunderbird folder to another machine, all accounts, GUI layouts, settings, search results, tabs, etc move over flawlessly. I think you just have to re-sign in for Google accounts on the new machine and you are good to go.
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.
Thunderbird is quite a piece of crap. Apart from the core, everything else is written in javascript and thus it is a single-core web application.
I have decided to just leave it be, and let it hog my computer, because it interface decently with google calendar.
That being said, I can definitely vouch for clients like Claws Mail (a bit ugly, but does its job) and Evolution (super fast, but it's written in C#/Mono)
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.
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.
Huh? The state I live in doesn't issue legal ID, nor do multiple other states surrounding us. You can get an ID card or drivers license, but they aren't federally recognized/usable.
I was pleasantly surprised when I managed to lose my driver's license somewhere in the 50 yards between the car and the airport door that I was actually able to fly. But they did really screen me. The hotel on the other end was more of a problem...
Aadhaar isn't a beacon of hope, the reason the poorest Indians are getting Aadhaar at all is to survive as the government of India forces it down people's throats, denying their benefits and even existence as real people if they don't have Aadhaar. Lets not even touch the attempts at demonetization as of late, these policies haven't created a stable environment in India.
The poorest people in the US also need ID cards to just survive too, try to get any sort of government benefits without being able to prove who you are.
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.
