We do have an indication. The RAM and SSD are both upgradable. The RAM is SODIMM, and storage is NVME

You ok bud? You sound unhinged here. You post doesn't even make sense in context of the one you were replying to.

You don't even need to read a single word in the article, the second the site opens you know its AI generated, it's that typically crappy white over shadowed rounded card look at that all LLM's seem to love.

What makes you think Dan would've handled it any differently? Rockstars got a long well known track record of being in crunch mode with obscene hours, that didn't suddenly start after Dan left.

Fairly meaningless in this day and age. Also IIRC scraping legality depends heavily on jurisdiction. Some places take a more permissive view of accessing publicly available information, even if a site's TOS forbids bots. In the US ther

Interesting, I'm on Brave and have never had a site request bluetooth access before, so much so that I'd never even granted Brave bluetooth access, hence why it popped up as a system notification this time around.

Weirdly this site also requested bluetooth access on my mac.

It's 2025 not 2005, if you're still rolling out hardware that requires a physical push of a button to power up theres something very, very wrong.

See I was similar but the big difference back then was a random little 99c app on iOS would make you several thousand dollars a month, so the $100/year fee was nothing for a long time. It was only after around 2012 that things changed.

You've got free will right? Nobody forces you to be online, be it on a plane or on your sofa. Even if those around you are using the internet on a plane it's of zero consequence to you.

by esskay 1y ago
Sadly most planes still run on legacy systems, it's not something that's ever a priority.

Er...They appear to have just gone down again.

You're right AWS does have you covered. But that doesn't mean thats the only way of doing it. Load balancing is insanely easy to do yourself, databases even easier. Caching, ditto. I think a few people who claim to be in devops co

If it requires weeks/months to sort setting that up and backups then you need a news ops person as that's insane. If you're doing it yourself, learn Ansible, you'll do it once and be set forever. You do not need "ma

Are you Netflix? Because is not theres a 99% probability you dont need any of those AWS services and just have a severe case of shiny object syndrome in your organisation. Plenty of heavy traffic, high redundancy applications exist without

They've been working pretty hard on those extra features. Their load balancing across locations is pretty decent for example.

by esskay 1y ago
Theres literally thousands of options. 99% of people on AWS do not need to be on AWS. VPS servers or load balanced cloud instances from providers like Hetzner are more than enough for most people. It still baffles me how we ended up in this

Most "legacy" hosts do yes. The norm used to be a percentage of your bill for every hour of downtime once uptime dropped below 99.9%. If the outage was big enough you'd get credit exceeding your bill, and many would allow cre

I think a lot of its probably technical debt. So much internally still relies on legacy systems in US-East-1, and every time this happens I'm sure theres a discussion internally about decoupling that reliance which then turns into a ma

To everyone who was supposed to get paged but didn't, do a postmortem, chances are your service is running via Twilio and needs migrating elsewhere.

Looks like its gone down now

by esskay 1y ago
It's usually true if you arent in US-East-1 which is widely known to be the least reliable location. Theres no reason anyone should be deploying anything new to it these days.
235.
by esskay 1y ago
Yup, never add anything new to us-east-1. There is never a good reason to willingly use that region.

This is a fairly meaningless, and very much expected stage of EV adoption. EV costs had to come down, that's just a given. They were priced at a premium over ICE vehicles. As production costs lowered and more manufacturers started maki

You make it sound like they are in some way less reliable or you've got more downtime - neither of which is true. You've got just as much chance of having downtime there as you have with any other provider.

Hetzner is very cautious who they accept as a customer these days as the downside of being a low-cost hosting provider is you get a ton of signups from people looking to use it for seed boxes and other illegal activities. It sucks for legit

You still need those same people even if you're running on a bunch of EC2 and RDS instances, they aren't magically 'safer'.

Too little, too late. You'd have to be nuts to willingly go back into their walled garden now.
