It won't backfire because there is no relevant competition. A couple of complains on social media, but no drop in sales.

Yeah, 2010 CDs were still pretty visible. Not sure how many people still ordered them, but at least they were always distributed at events. Don't remember when it started to no longer fit on a CD.

This text repeats things that I have read many times before, maybe because it's heavily AI assisted as other have suspected. But it fails to answer my questions I have had unanswered for years. Q1: Let's start with a single core m

Maybe he doesn't. And I know that I don't (at least not in depth). And that's the frightening thing here. Using a protocol that many don't understand for access to valuable resources

On delay-day you won't be travelling on the train you booked. So the reservation will only help if things go reasonably well. Which depending on your itenary might be less frequently than desired. Yes, a reservation helps if you happen

I often hear the argument of savings in printing and postage. Having seen all the over budget, years delayed or completely failed IT projects in the public sector, I wonder whether there are any savings at all in the end. (Perspective from
