Ngl, everything on crowd supply is overpriced. I bought an sdr through them several months ago, and the antenna I bought with it could be found on mouser for at least $10 cheaper.
If the server name was really musicmatch-ssl.xboxlive.com, maybe it deserved to die... I don't know what WMP has to do with Xbox, but they really should have moved that to a generic ms domain. What a mess indeed.
> Browsers do not treat missing optional end tags as errors that need to be recovered from
Just because it worked on the one browser you tested it on, doesn't mean it's always worked that way, or that it will always work that way in the future...
Every browser treats html/etc differently... I've run into css issues before on Chrome for android, because I was writing using Chrome for desktop as a reference.
You'd think they should be the same because they come from the same heritage, but no...

All browsers have worked this way for decades. It’s standard HTML that has been in widespread use since the beginning of the web. The further back you go, the more normal it was to write HTML in this style. You can see in this specification from 1992 that <p> and <li> don’t have closing tags at all:
Maybe there were obscure browsers that had bugs relating to this back in the mid 90s, but I don’t recall any from the late 90s onwards. Can you name a browser released this millennium that doesn’t understand optional closing tags?
I don't regard them very well personally... I bought a bunch of DAC cables from them, only to have them start emailing me under the guise of assigning me a "account manager"... I blocked their domain from my mail server and told them to never contact me again.
Is it too much to ask to just be able to buy things without being chased around by someone?
I have a Newegg business account (and maybe a few more for other pc stores, I'd have to check), but I literally never have them trying to get me to buy things. /shrug
fs.com sells primarily b2b. Account managers are normal and customary.
Just decline politely. They are not a bad company in that regard.
I have my issues with FS product itself, as it can be spotty sometimes in terms of compatibility and repeatability (e.g. getting the same optics firmware every time over the course of a couple years) but they typically handle exceptions and problems quite well. Via your account manager contact.
Weird reason to hate a company, imo. Would be far different if they continued to spam you with phone calls/e-mails after you declined the request.
Right, but sometimes your account manager's job is to manage a giant RMA as a result of their manufacturing department f'ing up. So while I am greatful she did a good job, I would have preferred to not need an account manager at all...
Anyone well versed in the metric system can easily scale up and down the orders of magnitude, and units like "millions of kilowatts" is just tautology in the end of the day.
Also, like others have pointed out, kilowatts and kilowatt-hours are most certainly not used on grid scale projects. Mega- and giga- are the standard throughout.
"Technically"? It's just wrong and I'm not sure which they were intending. Similarly, "miles and miles per hour are different units, it's not just a technical distinction.
A journalist is reporting on something they don't understand.
