Taking a much needed break from this website-won’t be looking at dms.

On Air France/delta 7333/8363 on ground in marseille. Physically Violent shrieking disturbed passenger at boarding and the captain and crew are keeping him onboard. It’s unbelievable.

Hi @SixtUSA I rented a car, and at the advice of your representative I paid for a tank of gas in advance, then was billed anyway for an empty tank upon return. I reached out to Customer service for a refund and have yet to hear from anyone.

@TheHookUp1 @linusgsebastian @LinusTech This! We tested endlessly, couldn't replicate, and also couldn't believe all the untested assertions, acrobatic wrangling of tech journals to make this a Threat. It's important to hold companies accountable, but equally tech journos need to do the work before lighting torches.

@TheHookUp1 @HP My father calls me weekly to figure out how to print stuff because HP thinks you should have to log in to print or scan. I had told him to stop buying HP. Now he will.

@roybahat I believe it's actually illegal anywhere to shoot down or intentionally damage a drone even if they're doing something illegal but if you are preventing a dangerous situation you may be in the clear. I would bet a leafblower could be modded to launch something sticky/heavy

@ramimassoud @wirecutter The company says the app is now restored on Play store. It was a temporary issue https://t.co/r4JAPMYnhT

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

@ramimassoud @wirecutter Yeah and the app has stopped working on my Android test phone.

@MarkHarrisNYC Sadly, they're just like printers: https://t.co/KCZVpBzzy9

Hi @RadPowerBikes my radwagon4 died on fri and troubleshooting revealed nothing. I have called multiple times a day and sat on hold for cumulative hours, emailed support, left callback numbers twice and I've had no reply. You don't have stores or certified installers in NY. Help?

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

@chrisheinonen @geclauser Chris! Most companies are OOS, though Schlage may be back sooner than expected.

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

@VA_Entrepreneur Hmm I'm getting DMs. Try [email protected]

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

@Shelness I'm unsure what you mean How are there no electronics in a security system that ties to a cloud database

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

@TheDinmaaa I appreciate your reaching out but yes, our current needs are for writers with deep experience in this domain. Best of luck.

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

I'm looking for freelancers for Wirecutter: specifically full-time writers with well-rounded DIY/consumer-level smart home experience. DM me directly!

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

Addendum to my previous tweet--I can only consider US-based journalists!

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

@womenwriterswin Most definitely! And to refine my original post, I'd say we're strongly interested in professional writers with meaningful experience with consumer-grade smart home devices.

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

Echoing that (ha!): Looking for writers with experience with DIY smart home tech and an interest in hands on testing.

[Jon Chase @TheJonChase]

@weischoice Hi DM me! We don't have a per word rate, and so pay based on the content type—blog, new guide, guide update, single review— which may vary based on the work involved (testing vs not, etc). Info here: https://t.co/OBH7yfbGMV
