The first thing I noticed. I was confused, thinking maybe they had an old XP machine lying around to plug in after the main one failed, but then I read further and it was just a stunt

Hybrids: the worst of both worlds.
If you want to keep relying on gasoline then just buy an ICE car
It’s like rebrands.
Most rebrands occur because the average marketing person is pretty average and “rebrand” looks good on your CV.
A couple of million later, half way through, customers hate the new brand and the marketing people who started it have already left for greener pastures
Redesigning a perfectly good design that everyone is used to allows you to put “designed Netflix user interface” on your CV, and since management has to spend a ton of money on it, suddenly your team is worth something
MSSQL in Microsoft* cases
FTFY although arguably Microsoft and Stupid and synonyms
If you’re American and you’ve been eating the food-like product labelled as “Cheese” in your supermarkets then Yes
To be fair it’s probably running on Windows.
All the servers force-restarted due to windows updates, but the update introduced an issue and now the Bing API service won’t start
Keeping shit running on Windows is always going to be a gamble
There’s a rule banning “self-preferencing.” That’s when platforms push their often inferior, in-house products and hide superior products made by their rivals
Wow, I can see Microsoft fighting this one tooth and nail. It’s basically their whole business model
It just wasn’t well written. Pretty pictures can only take a mediocre story so far
It doesn’t need to know the real answer to produce a confident sounding answer
He’s right you know.
Of course the best way to avoid parenting is to not have kids to begin with.
Failing that, the infinite video device certainly keeps them quiet for long periods
To be fair they are on a third world 110v electrical system which means they need twice the cable size to carry the same current as the UK
Actually, it makes perfect sense.
The loose terms like morning, noon, night etc are related to the suns position in the sky and exist regardless of what the wall clock happens to say
var context = RuntimeSingletonFactory.getCurrentFactory().getCurrentRuntimeSingleton().getContext()
A million psychedelic colours man!
Every company enshittifies eventually, it’s a fact of life.
It might take a while but it will happen. Eventually Gabe will step down or die, new leadership will come in and the enshittification will commence.
Or they sell to a competitor who will do big cuts to remove now redundant positions and you guessed it - the enshittification will commence.
Came here to mention this
If you can’t demonstrate an attack they will assume the issue isn’t exploitable.
Absolutely. Theory doesn’t always equal reality. The security guys submitting CVE’s to pad their resumes should absolutely be required to submit a working exploit. If they can’t then they’re just making needless noise
Lots of places have SRE now, thanks to Google. Like I said, google thing leaked to mainstream
Oh, I don’t care about Windows that much to bother googling things like that.
It lives in a VM so I can run CAD software like LayOut which I use very infrequently.
I’ve also got a windows partition lying around that gets booted into once per year incase I go to a LAN party, but Steam / Proton has really come a long way so I can probably drop that soon
Jokes on you, my first job was editing files directly in production. It was for a webapp written in Classic ASP. To add a new feature, you made a copy of the current version of the page (eg
index2_new.asp
becameindex2_new_v2.asp
) and developed your feature there by hitting the live page with your web browser.When you were ready to deploy, you modified all the other pages to link to your new page
Good times!
