My Mid 2014, 15" Macbook Pro has both Intel and Nvidia.

Chipset Model: Intel Iris Pro

Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

This Macbook pro was a free upgrade from Apple after I'd had 3 mainboard replacements because they'd had faulty GPU's on my 2011 MBP ( see https://web.archive.org/web/20170119031155/https://people.ca... for background) - Basically after I found out what was going on I took my 'repaired' machine home and stress tested it until it failed. After the very quick repeated failures Apple decided to replace my machine completely.

So more than “a couple of years ago”

Cos been almost 10 years since apple ditched Nvidia.

I have no idea when they last used nvidia. I'm just answering the question "Which apple product had Nvidia in it"

I asked cos the person I replied to stated that it was a couple of years ago. I thought maybe there’s some other apple product other than macs that have Nvidia in them. But seems like there isn’t.

It's harder because mastodon (it's not even mastodon, it's the fediverse) users wont all be on the same instance and whichever instance you are on might not know of the one they are on. In order for you to appear in a search, someone, somewhere needs to have made 'contact' with you or someone on the same instance.

'contact' because boost / like is included, not just replies.

Upton is just as bad.

The issue was that Raspberry pi responded badly, and any criticism or concern was met with "Unfollow us or we can block you" responses from them.

#fediblock isn't a requirement for any instance to take part in.

The problem was made worse because the Raspberry pi team wouldn't engage with other instances to try and resolve the issue.

Yes there are going to be issues with the #fediblock, bigger instances will always have more power to silence others.

And yet I continue to get "Walmart Confirmation Receipt" or "Verizon Confirmation Receipt" all coming from addresses like "verizon_info_nlAT2Q7uf0d@zfgfdyyqsckxbvwg.linenight.com" which means google are't even trying for some.

If you continually mark those emails as read without opening them, then gmail will learn that they are junk for your account.

..or imagine if google just shuts down your account. Gives you no reason and suddenly stuff on your phone, your email and all those related services stop.

The issue with greylisting happens when you receive a lot of email from Google or Outlook servers. Different one each time, unless you're whitelisting them all - which defeats the purpose.

SPF and DKIM no longer have any real value. Just look at SA and the values it assigns by default to mail with those headers. Couple that will the fact that spam now has valid SPF and DKIM - just makes them pointless.

DKIM and SPF, along with DMARC are more about authentication - they let you know that the message has come from where it says it does. This makes spoofing harder, not necessarily spam. Greylisting deals with most of the "spray and prey" spammers, though it does have it's own issues.

Agreed.

"Numbers" is an abysmal product.

I don't really use it, would be curious to know why?

It's not even close to being complete. Best described as "My First Spreadsheet". Excel (even libreoffice) are better by factors of 10.

I got paid twice 24th and 25th but didn't have to do anything. They just took the money back when they realised. I bank with a different bank to my company.

"Can't get it back" is a fallacy.

I'm assuming this was FPS and the FPS scheme has a defined Bank Error Recovery process as part of the scheme rules.

And facebook...

Facebook has done impressive things with PHP, but they are one single entity. WordPress is an entire ecosystem with millions of users, and while Facebook changing their underlying stuff wouldn't be noticed by most, I can assure you there would be a large amount of people who noticed if WordPress decided to switch to ASP.NET or something.
