Federated = Email. Different email providers (Gmail, Microsoft, iCloud, etc.) can all communicate with each other freely and using the same protocol.
Defederated = No longer federated.
Not federated = Your company’s internal Teams/Slack/whatever messaging system. Even tho they theoretically could communicate without other messengers and/or people outside of the company, they typically don’t do they’re just their own little bubble.
Lemmy is federated, Facebook is not.
Yeah seeing the same bug on my end
Interesting optic choice. Why not something magnified?
You could always grab one and then sell it if/when the pro is ever released. It’ll be interesting to see if products get launched any faster after announcing now that the EA Hardware program is gone, but in the past it would take a while for things to go GA. Better is the hardware that exists and can be bought today than the hardware that’s been announced with no known release date.
Who knows if it’s still coming, but I know that it never launched. People seem to be happy with the standard Dream Wall, but I have to wonder if it wasn’t quite popular enough for them to decide to launch the Pro version. Then again, Ubiquiti is pretty notorious for abandoning things after announcing or EAing them.
If you mean for processing, I’m not sure what would be difficult about one credit card processor over another. The 4 major networks do charge different fees to merchants, so if that’s your primary concern, Visa and MasterCard will typically be the cheapest, but that’s more-so up to your clients and what cards they use.
If you mean for purchasing, I would think the only additional expense to you would be any applicable annual fees (which many business cards do have). There are plenty of business-oriented cards that don’t have annual fees tho, like the Amex Blue Business Cash card. If you value customer service over everything, I’ve personally found Chase to have some of the best customer service from a bank/credit card provider, but many major banks will be competitive in that regard.
If you mean more on the front-end / client-facing side, there are numerous services such as Square and Shopify that can simplify and streamline things, but that of course comes at an additional cost.
Hopefully that helps, otherwise if you can provide some more specific info on what you’re looking for, I or others might be able to provide better help/advice.
