Just for some perspective from outside the US: I work at a bank in a country subject to GDPR. I have access to customer data, as do most people on my team.
I worked at a US startup from my world country and that company dealt exclusively with PII (i.e. IDs, face etc) of people, including from the armed forces, of NA and some European countries.
I had access to any data I wanted to see, download on my work laptop (we all worked remotely). I didn't have to ask anyone, I didn't have to justify it, and AFAIK it was not audited. Logged? I don't know, maybe it was. I had sent mail once regarding to a director and SVP and never received even an ack. Oh by the way, everybody had access, not just me. For that no other access type was required either. Company email was sufficient. And IIRC even the stage env. had product data and stage was truly fair game.
No, I did not misuse and used it handful of times for debugging purposes. I doubt anybody did.
I agree it's not a great way but a good compromise. When you think of Leetcode you can be thinking of hard questions. But this is not the case for many of us.
Not all of us get a chance to work with a great candidate pool. So, whenever someone fails to provide a solution given an integer list, find the pairs that sum is equal to N, I don't care how many technologies they have worked with or how well they can talk about it, I don't feel comfortable working with them.
It's almost impossible to create an account with all of the delays. Even then, I got into a loop in "Trade Compliance Verification" which does not proceed.
When I wait for relatives/friends to land in Turkey, I always get a mini heart attack because either plane drifts like Fast and Furious or disappears completely from map and ask myself, is this real this time? Sometimes I have nightmares about it, I see the planes just falling down from the sky spontaneously because of the stress that GPS jamming induced to me over the years.
Lineage (as I known it as CyanogenMod) saved a lot of old phones for my family instead of going to dumpster. I have a Samsung tablet that has no way of getting latest certificates to go into internet.
I find their supported devices list is quite small, considering, so did your family have devices on that list, or did you experiment by flashing other hardware?
We've been running Ubicloud for a while at Resmo. It is indeed 10x cheaper. We upped our instance sizes by 2x for a slightly more performance but it's still 5x cheaper.
The main reason is their platform is hosted on Hetzner dedicated instances.
