Today, over 3 months later, I received a new ad from the service with a salutation containing my name, sent to the old email, but prepended with "ccpadelete_." The bozos just changed the email on the account, didn't disable marketing emails, and my wildcard alias caught it 🤦♂️

I'm wondering how common creating a Wi-Fi site plan based on a wireless survey is for deployments in industrial settings. It feels to me like many IT orgs don't understand the needs of the wireless clients or the spectrum utilization. Do people plan channel allocations and coverage cells size or do they just leave the settings on auto and let the controller or the AP figure it out? Have you had applications where either method has worked better or caused unexpected problems?

I just heard about https://bookshop.org. It seems like it could be a good alternative to Amazon for books. They fulfill book orders and distribute some of the profits to local bookstores! You can select a specific bookstore to receive the profit. Of course, buying directly from the bookstore is probably going to be better for the bookstore, but it's nice to have an extra option.
