I have fleas.
no shit, I feel most people can function in just about any framework, so long as everyone knows what they are building. I’ve seen agile (and other frameworks to be fair) as the ‘solution’ to missing requirements too often. Sure we can get to work without them, but to what end?
it’s like we have all watched these dystopian future movies and instead of heeding their warning, we all said “hold my beer”.
Oh, I’m totally kidding, it would be soul crushing (crusher?) to hear her voice coming from these nightmares.
This is not the AI I was expected after growing up with Star Trek. I’m trying to picture just what horrors the replicators would come up with if hooked to this abomination.
Then the other clowns go and steal scarjo’s voice instead of Majel Barrett. What a future we’re building here…
Just like their name, it’s just a slogan. They wrap themselves in flags and bibles and folks fall for it every time.
Not exactly reliable and less than easy rma process.
Sorry, had typed this and forgotten to hit submit :(
At the time it was fine. I had an array of 4tb drives that I was backing up with a series of 5gb drives. They were just so unreliable; all but one failed while the array they backed up is still spinning strong.
Bingo. Sorry, had typed a reply about my failure rate and difficulties getting an RMA but forgot to submit.
Bought some of the old versions for backup drives. That was a mistake.
6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
Pretty much. At this point a religious weirdo is a religious weirdo no matter what flavor they prefer.
I feel like they belong in separate categories though. Lawnmower man was regular bad, like it started as something that had value but effects and writing just weren’t up to where they should have been resulting in a hilarious, guilty pleasure mess.
Battlefield earth never stood a chance, everything about it was cursed start to finish and was a complete vanity project by a religious weirdo. There’s just plain guilt with it, no pleasure.
I feel the same way. I feel like we used to buy things and hold onto them for a while, nowadays, everything seems to be designed to have a single year lifecycle. I like AirPods but now that their battery died and I can’t replace them, I’m looking at going back to the cord. But now of course we’re in dongle hell since there’s only one port…
I have an m2 iPad pro. The last thing it needs is more processing power, what it needs is better software to make use of the power that it has. I’d love to run full OS X on it considering I paid more than some MacBooks.
Feels like the automotive world is in utter chaos. I do believe in EVs and hybrids but manufacturers have focused on the premium segment to their own detriment. If they had started with the MVP instead of a flagship things might be in a different situation.
Yes, I am an aware of the Tesla strategy of starting high end but they seem to have abandoned that goal in favor of prestige meme wagons.
Same. Since the aquisition, I’ve moved all my home infrastructure off vmware to debian/docker and currently trying to get in front of our next renewal at work. I’ve been ready to pivot if necessary but no one seems to believe me that we need to be ready for our pending licensing converation…
if I ran the world, these tech companies would get the ma bell treatment, heck the current phone companies need a round 2.
IMHO the problem is the same one as everywhere. Companies are no longer interested in creating products, they are only interested in creating revenue streams. I’ve been working on my finances lately and it’s incredible how many ‘products’ have become subscriptions over time.
I’d love to be able to buy a day’s access, or access to an article. If I want to share it, I’m willing to pay a small fee to show it to certain folks. I feel like there could be a market there but in the current financial climate it would never get any interest or backing because it wouldn’t be a method to capture people into a reoccurring billing cycle.
I honestly thought it was common knowledge that these things were essentially free labor for training AI.
