• This isn't surprising for gov (and sometimes military) systems. If it ain't broke, don't fix it (or ever get funds to upgrade it). The US was using floppy disks for control of it's nuclear arsenal systems up until just a few months ago.

• (Quote) Changelog 24 February 2020: Swapped Unicode status symbols with ? and ? emojis.

  in Post some YABS bench here Comment by Mason February 2020
• (Quote) You talking about the coloring of the cross/check marks? Those are just the unicode symbols (x274C & x2714) so it shows whatever color the terminal/browser/software you're viewing it from renders it so I have no control over the color.

• Ouch! $60 setup fee. I miss the days of SYS with no setup fees. Made it way easier to impulse buy one of these things and regret it later. I guess it's better this way.

  in [PSA] HostDoc - not refunding and filing chargebacks with upstream providers! [IMPORTANT] Comment by Mason February 2020
• (Quote) He's effectively blacklisted himself from the hosting industry. The dude does make some rather rash decisions, so maybe it's for the best.

• Junior is now opening chargebacks against his upstreams (https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3081100/#Comment_3081100). The time for disputes/chargebacks is now. You won't be receiving a refund from HostDoc, he doesn't have any cash and ob…

• (Quote) That's the next change I have planned right now. I'll let users pass a flag to still use the Geekbench 4 test, but once I have Geekbench 5 test in there, that'll be the new default.

• Sounds like Inception Hosting is getting lean, given the Xen and ServersNV discontinuations. I wonder what Ant has planned for the future, surely it must be something big! ;)

• Just curious if you care to divulge -- how many Xen stragglers did you still have being carted along?

• We'll probably all have to agree to disagree. The past few comments really showcase something that I've been struggling with -- creating a "one-size-fits-all" test is HARD. lol :tongue:
