A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In this position I would already be putting warning on the order page to say to explain to Google/Microsoft users that they will receive a confirmation email, but that their email provider may delay the email to up to 12 hours before they can see it in their inbox.

It would be informative to customers, avoid some support calls, and would give credit where credit is due.
