  • For what it’s worth, it’s been suggested that Musk’s takeover of Tesla was opportunistic, and against the desire of Tarpenning and Eberhard.

    From my research, Tarpenning was pressured into quitting, and Eberhard was fired by the board of directors for lying to the board. Since Elon was chairman of the board at the time, it’s plausible (and even hinted at) that Elon played dirty to push through this firing.

    I cannot say for sure if they would have handled the company more ethically then Musk, but I am personally uncomfortable hanging them out to dry simply on what could have been.

    That said, I agree that employee co-ops are a top tier business organization structure.

    As a rule of thumb, I expect that Asus as a business only cares about adbock from two angles:

    1. A feature to slap on the box for advertising.
    2. A B2B feature for helping business management make workers more productive.

    To the first, there’s little incentive to ever update the lists after you’ve bought the device, so it’s quickly outdated. To the second, it’s like to be far more optimized for Amazon or Newegg, then for Reddit. Between the two, I don’t generally expect them to hold a candle to pi-hole and similar software.






  • I’m trying out Purely Mail. Unlimited email addresses across unlimited custom domains.

    I have a cool setup where I have setup an email account at service@service.mydomain.tld, but it’s setup as a catchall for *@service.mydomain.tld (and allows gmail-style tagging). This means I can fill out service forms by inventing addresses on the fly like LemonadeStand+Signup@service.mydomain.tld and the email shows up in one unified inbox, the subject line will include [LemonadeStand], and the message will have the flag ‘Signup’.
