They own the domain instead of you. They can then act as a middle man between any inquiries and you, and as a company, they’re able to shield you from many 3rd parties.
My wife sprained her ankle so badly that some of the ligaments tore. Her orthopedic doctor said she wasn’t allowed to walk for 2-3 weeks and even after that it was light light light exercise / PT
I’m still so upset about Chamberlain disabling my smart garage with all that (I’m not about to use their damn app).
Thankfully the open source community have reverse engineered something but still, now I have to spend $40 because Chamberlain got butt hurt that people didn’t want to use their app.
Quicken was originally developed by Intuit but was sold and has been in private equity hands since 2016. Is it possible that you're thinking of QuickBooks (which is an Intuit product)?
Agreed that Mint seems dead and the lack of communication about Credit Karma made me assume that it's DOA, which is why I moved to Simplifi. I found them through a few different product recommendation threads / articles as consistently decently rated, and I felt comfort in the fact that I was paying for the product (rather than it being free), which lends itself somewhat to the durability of the offering. Plus Quicken is a 40-year-old brand at this point, and with Simplifi being a newer product (but not brand new), I felt some confidence that they'd have staying power.
I think end-to-end refers to the “open source”, not the GPU acceleration. I know GPUs have always been a black magic to get working and so you often have to use proprietary, closed-source blobs from the manufacturer to get them to work.
The revolution that this is bringing seems to be that all that black magic has been able to be implemented in open-source software.
Could be wrong though, that’s just how I interpreted the article.
My domain has me plus the wife, and she’s not willing to tolerate any amount of fiddling or bugs or anything, so we needed something that would Just Work™, and Fastmail fits the bill quite well.
Their features are great, I actually prefer their app over the native iOS app, and they’ve been rock solid since I signed up. I can also have any amount of aliased and I can put all three of my domains on there. Plus they’re not Google which was the biggest thing I needed them to be.
I promise I put in about 20 times as much detail as is necessary to try to distill a bunch of knowledge into a Lemmy comment lol. If I needed to pay a merchant in crypto now, it’d be a 5 minute affair.
I just can’t get over this terribly forced alliteration
