linode.com/blog/linode/a-… RIP Linode. Started using them about 2 decades ago, and stopped ~2 years ago as they grew uncompetitive.

Linode acquired by Akamai. Someone from Linode contacted me in 2007 to do a review for them, and have been a customer ever since. Great day for Chris & team. akamai.com/newsroom/press…

@ozdj @ozbargain People continue to vote up those cashback deals, and from our point of view it's no different from outcries in the past against Kogan, HN, Catch, eBay and many other merchants on OzB.

@scottyang Is there any commercial relationship between @ozbargain and Shopback? It's no secret there are some serious ethical concerns about Shopback but OzBargain continues to give them a platform to promote themselves.

@ozdj @ozbargain No commercial relationship at all -- likewise for all the other merchants in OzBargain (except those links marked as "Affiliate" when browse as guest).

@sauhsoj It's reasonable as it's in their UX guidelines (OAuth using webview rather than browser). My own opinion though - if I'm already logged in on Safari why do I have to log in again to authorise?

@scottyang Were the reasons for rejection reasonable?

I somehow have strong suspicion that this process is going to take long and we'll get rejected at least once. Hopefully I am not jinxing myself.

Microsoft Wireless Desktop 900 rendered completely useless with a snapped transceiver. Can't buy the replacement transceiver anywhere & have to replace the whole unit. Quite a wasteful design - should have got a Logitech instead.

Can someone from @TwitterAU or @TwitterSupport please have a look? Virtually impossible to get hold on any human to look at our account's 2FA issue.

@TwitterSupport I have been submitting tickets about login issue w/ my business account @ozbargain where 2FA SMS never arrives, however I'm just getting automated reply asking me to reset password, which is unhelpful. Any actual person can look into it?

One of our Twitter accounts got locked & has 2FA issue, but support has been useless. Anyone knows any real human at Twitter that can look at our issue? ozbargain.com.au/comment/883515…

Bought an iFruit device (refurb iPhone 8 off eBay) for testing and development - something I never thought I would do.

@JesseOnTech @ozbargain Hi Jesse. Scott here from @ozbargain. Looks like there's a typo in your link. Instead of ozbargain.com/au it should have been ozbargain.com.au which would then present you with a valid SSL certificate.

@adilamughal Obviously not via Twitter. Sorry I don't take sales calls.

@scottyang Hi Scott, What is the best way to contact you?

UNSW's IDM -- 20 years later they have finally expired my account

@perthhacks @BinaryLane Ha. I don't really go out & shop at the bricks & mortar (my kids do though).

Boxing Day so far - #ozbargain tops at around 6,600 active users and the new CPU optimised VPS from @BinaryLane are doing great

Bose QC35 II. Picked up this delivery yesterday. Thanks to @PubliftMedia for the Xmas gift.

UNSW's new Village Green in early 2021. Wait what?! Trading AFL & cricket ground with soccer field & 500m 2-lane running track in awkward shape? estate.unsw.edu.au/village-green-…

New #ozbargain review -- other than the "dishonest" part, it's actually a pretty accurate description of the community. Don't you want to be the one to bring the price as close to $0 as possible? au.trustpilot.com/users/5df04057…
