I don’t know if it is always the fastest. I know they said android, but for example on not too old Apple phones (pre-usb c), I had the impression you could get better throughout on wifi compared to a cable connection. Maybe that’s just apple trying to squeeze money on proprietary connectors, but other manufacturers seem to copy their worst takes sometimes though.

I have not heard of any orgs replacing windows with Mac. This is for consulting and IT. To my knowledge, it is still something only available to execs and higher management. What sector was this for?

I took a really big shit the other day. Like, really BIG. We can call it the shit of the americas and anyone that disagrees would be making it a big hubbub.

Just because it was a president saying something stupid does not prevent it from being stupid.

Wikipedia was here before those dudes and will be here after them. They are small in the grad scale of things.

True, much easier to remove the antennas and SIM cards.

With extra steps.

Just replace them with self checkout, problem solved! Wait… back to square 1.

We went to Walmart to print something we needed since the staples near us was having issues with their machine. Pet cleaning spray $6-$15 dollars? Behind one of those locked cabinets of course.

There was a worker near by stacking some other items, but we didn’t bother since from what we could remember of Walmart, they never have the keys on them and have to chase someone down.

You think at&t is protecting you from hackers? ISPs are notorious for using crap routers and wifi devices which they charge an arm and leg for. ISPs literally had default passwords that can be guessed (many of them still do), used outdated protocols that were prone to brute force attacks or simply fail to compete with even the most basic DD-WRT, Open-WRT or other custom firmaware.

Slowly since glass pipes tend to break.

Lemmy was pretty sparse on posts not that long ago. Time can help.

Same State for car emission standards as well. Too bad our cities are shit holes because of all the car infrastructure though.

You misspelled gallon(s).

I don’t use them, but I do work in tech and oopsies do happen even with a properly configured k8s set of clusters or well managed bare metal infrastructure and well trained engineers. A developer could not be fully aware of something as simple as logs going to a file being something that can bring down capacity due to evicted pods on k8s for example.

It does sound like the post is beating around the bush on terms of what caused the outage, but if their post mortem acknowledged fully what it was and decent steps being taken to mitigate it, short and long term it could still be a lesson learned. Generally it’s not possible to just correct something that quickly on complex systems or environments that have been used to a certain workflow as much as customers and users would like (developers like anyone else make mistakes).

Whether a noobie mistake on the code review process or something else if they are honest and clear it can still impress people willing to migrate. Using MS teams and O365 at work it feels like there is an intermittent outage every other month.

I’ve heard of people using a shake sensor or a power monitoring outlet/switch which seems like it would take a lot less effort to integrate into automations (like showing a light when it is done somewhere).

When you are forced to buy a car just to maintain a job or not be run over on your way to get groceries on the transportation “infrastructure” provided by American cities, reliability for a car does make the top of the list.

You had to request certificates manually from providers like a savage.

Was the drive scanned for errors before installing it? I’ve been running 2x8TB drives for about 1.5 years. If a drive fails, it is better to find out earlier while they are within warranty.

I got the same Sunday banner in the middle of the screen similar to where shorts show up. Never in my life have I watched or cared for American football. Clearly a waste of money for the advertising company since I just closed it by pressing the x same as shorts on desktop.

Maybe it’s just a CSV?

It would be a lot easier to compete with though, since Google couldn’t treat it as a loss leader that still bring them in search revenue by default.
