There was VBA and cell logic. The sheet was validated by a third party then someone ported it to a proper language (incorrectly). That model was not validated.

Actually when I got my iPhone 13 Pro they said they said keep the receipt for the case in case it falls to bits so they can replace it free. YMMV.

I think it's worth comparing to Apple here. I bought an iPhone from Amazon in UK and the screen developed a defect. Walked into an Apple Store after 19 months, without AppleCare and they gave me a new phone and migrated all the stuff o

I am terrified of the same things. I got given a validated financial model for something ages ago and found a major Excel fuck up in it. When I say validated, it was run through an expensive validation company who charged a lot of money a

100% agree. Bought one myself!

I can’t wait until they end their recently announced Lenovo collaboration on the same grounds. Absolutely fucking awful vendor in the last few years. Shipping dead batteries, not even shipping anything and having little to no parts stock. A

Samsung love to kill their brand. Bought a Samsung washing machine. Completely died in 2 months. Their third party repairer wrote it off and said it’d be a month wait for a new one. Several frustrating phone calls and 3 months later no wash

I don't understand what you are saying. I'm saying it is slower on docker due to container startup, pulling images, overheads, working out what incantations to run, filesystem access, network weirdness, things talking to other thi

Yep. And you usually get lumbered with some shitty thing like github actions which consumes one mortal full time to keep it working, goes down twice a month (yesterday wasn't it this week?), takes bloody forever to build anything and i

Why would I use docker? You don't have to use it. I'm just generating static binaries. Does anyone understand how to do stuff without containers these days?

I'm mostly just running the (Go) compiler on my laptop which is considerably faster than on docker and considerably cheaper than the server... I mean an ass end M3 macbook has the same compile time as an i9-14900k. God knows what an eq

Well you can move into anything but it depends if you want to get paid or not for it? I've mostly followed the money.

I have a much heftier Mac than any surface :)

I just run R and TeX on my Mac where I have a 27" screen. I hate using portable devices for actual productivity work. iPad time is thinking time...

They approached multiple vendors for quotations who undercut him vastly. So he didn’t get the business.

I like mine because I can write on it. I do a lot of mathematics and it’s either dragging a pad of paper and pens or a whole computer that does a load of other stuff with me. So the computer wins. Also it’s the only thing that works on plan

I remember my father doing this one. He was an SME support company. With two clients. He cranked the price up 4x and said ”we’ve got them by the balls” . They both opened a tender process and shot him and he was bankrupt 6 months later.

You can also do it on my Nikon Z6-ii ! And you can take not shit photos with it as well!

by cjk2 2y ago
The medium is really not important even if you think it is. What you do and where you are is the important bit. Half the photo is what's left inside your head that is activated when you look at it again.

The things are bloody awful and only bring back the longing misery of not being able to afford something less than awful for me. The things weren't even a match for a cheap no brand 35mm compact in the end. Plus they are instant trash.

Exactly this. Concierge needs to know who the hell you are.

Yes. All of them. There has been a massive race to the bottom recently.

Yeah I will only take cash -or- cash and equity. One success story does not a model make...

I suspect they will be locked down like the RT devices were...

Mostly implied by that large pile of dead Surface machines we had which weren't even remotely repairable and lasted 12-18 months...
