I have a dell 9700 and I had this happen just yesterday on a god damn flight. I am still pissed. I never put my laptop to sleep/hibernate. I always shutdown. I have no idea but it somehow turned on in my bag, I felt it on my leg on the flight. I opened the bag and it was freaking hot. I have no idea how this happened. I noticed sometimes when I docked I click shutdown, it doesn't shutdown.

The other thing is there is no freaking light on the laptop other than the keyboard lighting to indicate it's off. I have to flip the laptop and listen to see if it's on, I look like a crazy person in public. I love the laptop but this is downright ridiculous. As I am typing on it, I smell an electronic burn but the laptop seems fine.

"Test Pilot", "Experiment" are not words I want to see when it comes to my login credentials.

Do people use.. other features?

I think I used AWS for email octopus and maybe 1 other thing.

Idk how I've avoided AWS for so long.

I've avoided AWS because I'm using Azure more (not that I have a problem with AWS)

I know nothing about game development or the likes. But I just browsed the site. Wouldn't it make sense to maybe create a torrent or huge iso file of this info instead of downloading each asset manually?

This is a bit confusing, I have a website and I log IP addresses in my web server log and I use google analytics, what do I need to do?

Nearly same boat here. We're based in Frankfurt where everyone is talking about FinTech so its natural to call our Accounting/Bookkeeping/Billing AI Startup [0] a Fintech, but to me initially the term was reserved for startups that process creditcards or do algotrading. I'm content now to use the term as long as its helpful.

This is off topic. But what do you use to generate the api documentation? It's very clean, love it.

Hmm, you'd think this would make the stock go down (today), but it hasn't yet.
