<p>I am genuinely curious if anybody knows of a non-trivial problem being solved on one of these forums, at least for a huge company that’s palming off customer support. It just feels like screaming in to the void, only for someone to (deliberately?) misinterpret your question and give you some generic advice.</p>

<p>I use Fastmail with my own domain and 1Password. Together they give me a “masked email” button for forms that generates a random enough email address (two common words and four digits) and records the domain it was for. You can also create them ad-hoc from Fastmail’s interface.<p>As well as simply attributing leaks, it’s most valuable as a phishing filter. Why would my bank ever email an address I only used to trial dog food delivery?</p>

<p>Ocrelizumab/ocrevus. Initially as an infusion, but the doctor recommended monthly injections after neutropenic sepsis.<p>After moving to injections there was a hospitalisation for an upper respiratory tract infection, but not nearly as serious.<p>On a positive note, MRIs have shown no new lesions, and bio markers seem to show no relapses.</p>

<p>Anokion (now bankrupt) also seemed to have some progress along these lines (link below).<p>A close family member suffers from MS and is on the more effective but less safe drugs available. They haven’t suffered a relapse since starting them four years ago, but they have been hospitalised twice as a result of side effects.<p>As we learn more about the relationship between the immune system and various seemingly unrelated diseases the research and understanding has massively increased over the last few years. I’m cautiously optimistic that better treatments aren’t far away. An ancestor was lobotomised for hysteria in the 1960s, before being diagnosed with MS.<p><a href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04602390" rel="nofollow">https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04602390</a></p>

<p>I haven't tried the newer I7i and I8g instance types (the newest instances with local storage) for myself, but AWS claims "I7i instances offer up to 45TB of NVMe storage with up to 50% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I4i instances."<p>I benchmarked I4i at ~2GB/s read, so let's say I7i gets 3GB/s. The Verge benchmarked the 256GB Neo at 1.7GB/s read, and I'd expect the 512GB SSD to be faster than that.<p>Of course, an application specific workload will have its own characteristics, but this has to be a win for a $700 device.<p>It's hard to find a comparable AWS instance, and any general comparison is meaningless because everybody is looking at different aspects of performance and convenience. The cheapest I* is $125/mo on-demand, $55/mo if you pay for three years up front, $30/mo if you can work with spot instances. i8g.large is 468GB NVMe, 16GB, 2 vCPUs (proper cores on graviton instances, Intel/AMD instance headline numbers include hyperthreading).</p>

<p>Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) MDM profiles typically don't allow personal data access outside of their sandbox, but they almost always include remote wipe capabilities.<p>iOS at least displays a very clear warning when you import the profile telling you exactly what it can do.<p>Not that this isn't awful, but it's good to be clear on what this can do when used within normal expectations.</p>

<p>To add to this, this is probably due to Amazon Brand Registry which promotes products from brands with a trademarked name. The sellers only care about the brand so far as it's trademarkable. Mashing on the keyboard is the simplest and quickest way to make that happen.</p>

<p>In the UK a fish and chips shop is sometimes called a "chip shop". The New York Times helpfully translated this in a recent article:<p>> “I’ve seen lots of students my age struggling, trying to get work and even the basic necessities,” Agastya Dhar, 17, said. Mr. Dhar has a part-time job in a French fry restaurant, but said even getting that job was tough.<p>French fry restaurant is now my preferred term for the local chippy. For those outside the UK chip shops normally have no seating, or maybe a couple of uncomfortable, uninviting, flourescent lit plastic benches and tables, normally bolted down, maybe sprayed clean at the end of the night.<p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/world/europe/uk-budget-youth-unemployment-minimum-wage.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/world/europe/uk-budget-yo...</a></p>

<p>If you account for the wastage/insurance costs using standard freight carriers that seems reasonable to me as a proportion of value. I’m sure this is shipped insured, well packaged and on a pallet.<p>Walmart might be able to resell a damaged/open box $2k TV at a discount, but I don’t think that’s so easy for speciality calibrated equipment.</p>

<p>One boss (ship's captain for context, but I think this applies more widely) would call careless slip-ups "lemons", as in one armed bandits. One lemon was fine, happens from time to time. Two was a cause for concern. Three and everything stops to evaluate what's going on and for people to reset.<p>Knowing about the swiss cheese model is great, but you also need to have some heuristic about when those holes might line up and bite you. Typically it's when people are rushed, stressed and tired and you have to be able to spot that even when you're rushed, stressed and tired.<p>That said, forgetting to put on your hi-vis might be a careless error, but walking outside of marked pedestrian zones and operating a forklift while using a phone absolutely aren't! The forklift driver fleeing the scene makes me think safety culture had to be abysmal.</p>
