As someone who works on money in the UK this is why I work on money in the UK.

I think you might be an outlier. I've got 150 contacts on whatsapp, over 200 on my phone. I am on several organised groups on whatsapp with 150+ members who use it for event management. They are never going to signal. There isn't

And then that assertion may be shattered when they get to use it… There’s a lot of nice looking crap out there.

Not much point here (UK). It’s difficult to get anyone to move or even install it. No one cares enough to show any interest. Needs to be a large billboard marketing campaign which is “zuck eats children and owns WhatsApp” or something. Then

The nature of the beast is I use yt-dlp and vlc as my YouTube client. If they’re going to be assholes, I’m not bothered.

Incompetence reins there. A few years ago I was working on an MSI deployment for something and Defender decided to think it was a virus. Turned out it was an MSFT DLL that we included with it that was tripping it. Took a whole month for the

Exactly that. Rather than centralise the risks, distribute them therefore reducing them. One political change put millions of people and businesses at risk. Minimising this in future is not putting everything on someone else's computer

Their recovery process was terrible as well. Wash everything, drop a load of PR stuff out about how good they were washing stuff, then hope it worked. What a shit show. I would never even go near them after that.

Hey lets lock ourselves into a different cloud solution. What happened to organisations being the sovereign entities not national tied clouds?

I don’t get the Apple side of this. Yeah they are assholes but only hardware assholes. You can easily leave if you want without consequence. Social media big tech is where everyone communicates which is a much bigger and much more damaging

Surely it’s Kubernetes 2.0: the search for more complexity by trying to get rid of it.

Not quite. I'm in the UK and some of our customers get blocked by overzealous CDNs and they're all on CGNAT.

CGNAT is hell. Here I had to choose between crap bandwidth or CGNAT. I chose crap bandwidth.

It’s not because I’m not using it. It’s the vape of IT.

Yeah that. Phones are awful. I have an iPhone 15 Pro which is supposed to be quite good. It's not. I got so fed up with it I dug out my now ancient Nikon D3100 and took that around for a few days. Suprisingly it still works fine. It wa

He should try some of the new ass end mirrorless cameras that are designed to be cameras and not fashion accessories. That might scare him off his Leica and this turd.

Probably officially TPM related. However it'll probably work fine on Windows LTSC.

Windows 10 LTSC + massgrave. Fuck 'em. I'm not ready to throw my Z440 in the trash yet. And I don't want anything to do with windows 11, even LTSC at the moment.

Yes. I select everything to work disconnected for long periods of time. I suspect we are in a temporary time of good connectivity. What we really have to look forward to is balkanisation, privacy threats from governments, geopolitical unce

I'm a bit mathematician and a bit electrical engineer. The electrical engineer suggests it's not measurable unless you apply current and also asks "when" after the current is applied referring to the distributed inductiv

Someone might host DeepSeek for you but you'll pay through the nose for it and it'll be frozen in time because the training cost doesn't have the revenue to keep the ball rolling. I'm not sure the GPU market won't c

Indeed. I completely agree with this. My objection to the whole thing is the AI hype bros, which is really the funding solicitation facade over everything rather the truth, only has one outcome and that is that it cannot be sustained. At th

The 6s still got an update earlier this year. I sold it to someone who was going to use it. It was just sitting around otherwise. So I'm not sure that's entirely true.

by neepi 1y ago
We're already there. I only buy a new one every 2 years because they last so damn long that my three kids can get them handed down that long. Just got rid of a 9 year old 6s a few months ago that still worked fine!

No one has delivered anything solid. Progress is asymptotic here and everything x months and y billion dollars away. We have shitty chatbots which confidently spew garbage and a new button on laptops no one wanted. And the customers are wor

Yes. If I have to trade off a stupid phone with 100% determinism and good battery life versus an intelligent phone with 70% determinism and shit battery life then I'm going to take the stupid phone.
