  • Possibly. I was throwing out a potential scenario. Though, unless this group is actually a couple of kids who learned how to mock up a website, why would you attempt to scam a company like epic like this? If they have the data, other companies have paid way more as a business decision and if they call your bluff your stuck holding your dick. Unless they are sending this same message to a bunch of companies and hoping that at least a few of them send you money. Not unlike the spam emails or text messages, twitter, tg, etc that people get claiming that someone has them on video taking care of themselves and to pay up or your entire circle of friends and family gets a copy.









  • I would stick with namecheap (for now) and pony up for a multi year registration. If in 5 or 10 years they are jacking the price up then you can use another registrars cheap port option to get a discount. I did this recently between godaddy and namecheap. I had one domain left with godaddy that I have owned for over probably a couple of decades at this point and they were seriously jacking the rate up on me, I ported it to namecheap for a massive discount.



  • Did you not read the first sentence I wrote?

    There is a place for all kinds of media for people to digest. My problem is with there not being text versions of most things anymore especially for those of us who aren’t actually looking to learn something new, we just want to know how many and locations of screws to take a laptop apart so we can fix it. Or which settings screen on a routers firmware does a specific thing. These days I have to watch someone go through the entire tear down or all of the settings and watch carefully for what I’m looking for.

    For the record I went to a Montessori school and my mother taught it for decades. I am aware and open to various ways to learn new things.

    You aren’t wrong. But, this format is taking over and I hate having to watch a video for information that I can parse easier when it’s text based. Everytime I’ve looked for schematics and a teardown of a laptop or other hardware all I find is videos that I have to scrub through looking for exactly what I need.
