Might as well be a gambling site: It was a startup bank with no Federal backing (FDIC) that appears to have promised greater returns than traditional banks by investing your money and giving you some of the profits back from dividends.
Still, it was a startup that wasn’t fully vested nor backed federally to secure people’s deposits. Sad.
Cloud? Neva heard of it! AI is where the money is at now.
Buzzwords, that’s all they are.
vim with global ls_colors and dircolors kinda user huh? Nothing wrong with that.
On a default install on NP++ you can only save as rtf, but there are addable plugins that give some rtf functionality. So as a direct answer, no, it doesn’t, but it can.
Microsoft: We can’t spy on your usage when you use wordpad, use O365 instead! (guessing since MS recommends using O365 Word in its place).
TBH, I haven’t used wordpad since Windows 98. Not saying others don’t use it, but Notepad++ and a myriad of other options are better anyway.

Noooooo!
I’ve been following Anand and his replacements there at Anandtech since Anand only did early youtube type videos on Yahoo lol. Anand was considered a n00b by Comdex goers and reviewers alike. Back then, competition from the likes of Kyle @ [H]ardOCP, John @ AMDZone, cmdrtaco @ /., TheInquirer (now theregister), Sharky Extreme, Tomshardware and many others I honestly don’t remember off the top of my head that really ruled the roost.
Anand made a name for himself in the company of some very tough competition.
Hats off to the man and his team over the years, they had a really great run.
Both Supermicro and HPE have the longest support of their products than the others.
You can basically get rack mount level performance from:
In your situation, I’d be looking at ebay, serversupply, or other used hardware resalers that offer 2 generations back hardware. Used DDR4 based systems are abundant and cheap enough, go that route.
I only listed Opera b/c Vivaldi is based on it:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser)
Vivaldi is absolutely a descent FOSS product, but will agree with the Opera sentiment and have edited my post more accordingly.
I only listed Opera because Vivaldi’s based on it, but that’s about where it ends. Vivaldi and FF are the only two I use tbh.
Opera, Vivaldi and Brave are descent alternatives.
EDIT:
Vivaldi (based on Opera, but FOSS and not Chinese) is still good.
I didn’t realize Brave inserted referral codes, TIL.
As per iFixit and other sites like tvserviceparts, it depends on the Vizio model. Mainstream models you can often replace the screen and even power input board, others you simply cannot without sourcing their brand though.
Example repairable model: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/VIZIO+TV+Screen+Replacement/120241
Vizio makes it 100% impossible to acquire a replacement of: buttons, bezels, control boards and input boards for intellectual property rights reasons.
In short, unlike other brands, they make it far less easy to repair either by IP restriction or by over usage of glues.
Sounds about right: Vizio the throw away brand. Horrible warranty terms, they refuse to repair them even if you offer to pay and completely unrepairable yourself.
What are we going to do tonight Pinky?
Have your group ask microsoft what the charges for Azure will be for your year 3 year 4 and year 5 commitments.
100% sure the Azure rep will gag on whatever they have in their mouths at that moment and start deflecting. If MS can fuck the US Government in a 10yr Azure contract, odds are pretty high they’ll do the same to Disney.
Source: Our company bought into O365+Azure+ADFS at a good rate for 3yrs, then got burned by MS once the honeymoon was over. They’re not going to make it fun for you all once your contract ends.
I manage 30 Esxi hosts with around 800 VMs currently on vSphere Enterprise licensing. Our company is preparing for the worst case by employing a 3yr plan involving:
(So we can run on unsupported vsphere 8 for up to 3yrs. if needed or until a resolution is found)
(So we can explore different hybrid solutions, assign them for evaluation and give feedback based on those findings annually)
(My company fancies getting ‘non-biased’ opinions from external sources, so we tolerate it)
(While expensive to do, this option gives us a clear nuclear level fuck you to VMware should pricing become too outrageous and we decide to pull out of renewal)
In the end, we will probably give VMware a 3yr probation period, regardless of cost and have a clear migratory path before that time should we decide that VMware’s TCO is no longer viable.

100% this.
I know for a fact that in 1999 (25 years ago) when I was running an ISP that Seagate Barracuda 4GB SCSI-2 Ultra Wide drives for example were costing $300/drive rounded; I used to buy hundreds of them. I have an old purchase order framed showing such and those were very much a premium drive back then.
