Business process outsourcing firm most likely (BPO). They get contracts for every kind of company you’ve ever heard of, lie about their cybersecurity practices, and then rebrand if they get caught.

My first reaction to the steam machine was “you’ll own nothing and be happy about it” but yeah everyone seems happy about it… I like how old games were sold on physical cartridges or discs. Much more fun to know the experience can be relive

If all of Amazon went down in 1998 or 1999 it wouldn’t have been news on par with AWS in 2025.

Most people don’t want to lose tens of thousands of dollars in value to progress for progress sake… I just bought a car and went ICE in no small part to resale value.

Population decline and climate change impact may not provide enough surpluses in capital for specific areas to invest in reinventing various solutions unless AI makes the cost extremely low.

We are building bare metal for our workloads… I don’t care if cloud is supposed to be cheaper because it never is. You can get a decent small business firewall to handle 10gbit fiber for $600 from unifi these days. Just another reason I’m g

Google did away with the “do no evil” slogan. That irked a lot of people. Apple never pretended they were anything else.

Insane is the understatement of the year. I appreciate their idiocy though. It pushed me to make the switch to ripping discs so I have my own drm free offline library of content now.

Socialized hospitals have waiting lists while for profit hospitals have health insurance companies denying coverage. The problem is the demand outstrips the supply and you end up with some form of rationing of care, this is not a problem wi

I don’t have time for o look at the stats and provide quotes / cite sources but it does seem from what I’ve read on the topic that the more people play gore games the less violence there is in society. If that’s true, maybe it’s also t
