Just got the Soundpeats Trueair 2, they're very very similar design to airpods. Case is slightly smaller even, much lighter/cheaper feeling but are well built enough, work reliably and have usb-c.
I naively picked up a late 2018 air without considering the thermal aspects of the performance. It sounds obvious but I totally missed it and bought on basis of the benchmark numbers, make sure to look at the thermal performance under sustained loads. Notebookcheck do a good job at deep diving on this in their review https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Air-2018-i5-256-....
It's basically passively cooled! There's no heatpipe connecting the fan to the CPU so it kicks up to max all the time trying to cool it but can't make much of a dent on the temp. Really mind boggling.
I had to switch back to my old pro machine and felt like a bit of a berk for not reading up on that aspect.
I've been using turbo boost switcher for a couple of months now with a base MPB16 and it's worked well. I pretty much keep turbo boost off all the time, barely ever notice any slowdown and it seems to help with noise & heat.
+1 that is my anecdotal experience also, started living between uk and us, conducted many international transfers over 5 years with no issue, was having a much harder/more expensive time with other services (I think mostly paypal) before that.
I started TAing last year and moved up to teaching just recently at a coding bootcamp after realizing I really enjoy working with people in that way and that I have some aptitude for it. Really enjoying it, it's part time on top of a dev day job at the moment but I know people who do it full time and make good money.
Lovely to hear you have a position at the intersection of software and civils like this. I am a software dev that switched careers shortly after graduating with a civil & structural degree, always thought I'd be of most value combining the two at some point. There is hope!
Another Civil & structural guy here. The ability to code does magic at times. Many design steps can be automated. It need not be something huge. Once I automated transfer of data from one software to anther using EXCEL VBA which used to take 2+ Man-days in manual style. Within a month almost entire department was using this excel sheet to do this particular task. Fun times.
That's fine with us. Nevertheless, I am not sure you appreciate or fully understand how email works. If outlook is marking as spam a valid, DKIM authenticated email, with a correct SPF from a server with excellent reputation of 99/100 (SenderScore) and good domain reputation...who is to blame?
Everyone is quick to jump and blame the small guy. :) Our reputation score is actually better than some of the largest email providers because of our low volume and individual verification.
@TheGrumpyBrit - I am sorry, did not meant to imply you did not know about the email internals.
I agree with you, but in the end, if all of those are correct on our side, it simply can be the spam filter on the other side. It is not only the sender who decides the deliverability :)
We do not use any tracking pixels.
Btw. Any suggestion is more than welcome and highly appreciated! Thank you for looking at Migadu!
Email is my day job, I understand exactly how it works. If you have DKIM, DMARC, SPF and rDNS all in place and you're still getting transactional mail junked, then you have some other problem going on. For example, do you have tracking pixels from a different domain, or spammy content in your mails?
It's not a case of blaming the small guy, its a case of being careful who I trust with the deliverability of my email, and if you can't get your own email into my inbox, you're making me ask questions of your capabilities before I've even finished the sign up process. That's not a good start.
