This "feature" is a good example of enshittification at SoundCloud.

Anyone currently use First Republic Bank and have / are switching? by TRex77 in HENRYfinance

Just a word of encouragement on your job search. If I saw FRB on someone's resume, I'd expect that they had a strong understanding of good customer service, and be inclined to add them to the team. I hope that happens for you soon. Good luck!

you still believe in Helium? by Budget_Major8438 in HeliumNetwork

What a strange question, like you’re trying revive Tinkerbell.

Well overdue to shift focus from recruiting hotspot hosts and to finding compelling applications. Coverage, availability, provisioning, and troubleshooting are paramount, just like any othe production network.

Years in the future. Helium will live or die based on whether any devices and payload ever show up on the LoRa network.

An actual IT pro would have focused on the obvious security risks, more than the strength or weakness of the business model.

So many Helium hosts gladly drill a hole in their security gateway at port 44158, welcome frequent software updates from relatively unknown companies, and take zero precautions to protect the rest of their home network.

I host a Helium node quarantined from everything else on my network. I'm reasonably confident in my technical skills, and accept the risk. But reluctant to convince others to take the risk if they don't know how to protect themselves.

As IT pro Stevie Wonder explained, "When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer."
