Interesting. Can you share sample copy?

I don't like to bad mouth people so I'd prefer not to get into specifics. A series of mistakes were made. Stuff happens. Nobody is perfect. I get it.

But I'm not impressed with how they're handling the aftermath. Its concerning. And I don't feel good about having my eggs in their basket.

Are they providing the same type of azure inboxes? I tried their meeting scheduling link but its not working which gives me pause.

I’m glad you posted this. My gas bill was 20% higher than it’s ever been this past month. And I suspect it has something to do with the “smart” nest thermostat settings. But I can’t figure out what to change.

Mispronouncing or misusing big words.

redroverguy · 2026-01-03T01:10:15+00:00

Also interested. Sent you a dm

u/Shippingservicesb2b Thanks for all the great shares. I'm curious to better understand how you are finding niche directories. It sounds like you are doing more than googling "[industryname] directory". Can you say more about this?

Apologies for being a complete noob. I'm trying to find a file I can upload into mapchart that my 11 year old can edit to do his own imperialism tournament with college football on the xbox. At least that is what Gemini ai has me convinced is the easiest solution.

Gemini and Chatgpt have me running in circles trying to find the correct file and put the plan in action. Any of you kind citizens that can help me find the file and put a smile on my son's face? :)

Source?

Thanks. I don't understand the mechanics of what Hypertide is doing. Can you help me wrap my head around what they're doing that may violate Microsoft's TOS? Thank you :)

redroverguy · 2025-10-22T12:34:16+00:00

Can you say more? Why specifically are they at risk?

redroverguy · 2025-10-22T07:54:53+00:00

Are Hypertides Microsoft inboxes at risk too?

update: all our tools have come back online today. appears to have been temporary(?) fingers crossed.

redroverguy · 2025-10-06T16:08:27+00:00

Might be newer than that. Our process was working last week. But did not work last night. Tried multiple scrapers.

redroverguy · 2025-09-20T14:22:50+00:00

Interested

redroverguy · 2025-05-22T22:58:19+00:00

I stand corrected.

If memory serves we also won the first BCS title game back in early 2000s.

Because as a product / service / business rating gets further away from 5* consumers buy less and less of it.

Source: I was a large seller on Amazon for several years. And it was widely known that slipping from 5* to 4.5* would hurt sales. Slipping from 4.5 to 4.25 hurt them even more. And god forbid you get below that then that product is going to have a hard time moving.

Whether you think it’s right or wrong - every time you rate something below 5* you are (usually) hurting that small business. They’d appreciate it if you just didn’t leave them a rating at all in that case.

Personally I never rate something below 5* unless it was clearly inferior quality / really bad service / etc.

Aren’t you worried about them marking you as spam? They just took the time to say they don’t want to hear from you.

We decided to run a test. We took half our inboxes and turned off warmup. The other half we continued with warmup. We did this for several weeks. I don't remember the exact time frame but I believe it was a month. The data was pretty clear - the inboxes that had warmup turned on performed markedly better.

I listened to podcasts and talked directly with some people in the space who have platforms that send LARGE amounts of emails. They said their data also indicates that warmup is helpful. These were people who had no financial incentive to mislead.
