I have a few thoughts on this: First, the tech boom of the last decade, made it REALLY EASY for a lot of folks to get into the industry. Unfortunately a lot of bad managers and the like got their tendrils in during the process and boondoggl

My concern is the vague almost weasel words. For all we know (based on that statement) once Synadia gets whatever cleared/cleaned from other contribs, the apache codebase could be 'locked' at that state and won't get upd

MIPS as well as Alpha AFAIR. And technically itanium, otoh It seems to me a bit like a niche for any performance advantages...

Oh i think I saw an AvE video where they explained a cheap part being omitted resulted in this exact sort of problem.

ARM is less likely to give such a license out as cheaply in future, give how hard they tried to prevent other buy attempts.

I suppose that's the irony. UoM has produced some of the best engineers I've worked with but the worst engineers-turned-managers I've ever seen as far as mindset.

Yeah class divides are weird in Southeast MI. At smaller shops it leads to a lot of hubris from management. I've worked at more than one shop where circles of UofM grads insist on outsourcing everything new and having in-house employee

PS5 with a drive can play DVDs, interestingly however, it can't do audio CDs.

I thought nvidia did the northbridge as well since it had the igp? Given they were able to use the tech for nForce I'm guessing they did both at about the same time

Technically the ones they got in hot water for were from EU to get around the Chicken Tax.

Hmm. WebTV might be up there, similar for Monorail PC. Both fairly quickly got obsoleted and any 'volume' they hoped to reach in consumer space was quickly cannibalized by similar but more profitable models (i.e. E-Machines and th

Descent had textures, although they were arguably not-even-ps1 quality and there were probably some things still flat shaded.

Klarna/affirm do often seem to be the thing I see 'not financially stable' folks use. Most recent example being someone considered an 'adult child' of the state and on SSDI that used Affirm to pay for some xmas pres

I believe it. Happened to me once or twice when I was making under 50k/yr over a decade ago.

There were lots of cases where covid unemployment pay was better than better than minimum/near minimum wage.

From those I know that worked in the industry, contractor systems are frequently abused to avoid providing the right level of counseling/support to moderators.

WITCH companies. Nuff said.

"Free market" folks tend to ignore the ladder-pulls and existing regulations that make it a non-free market.

This last point is a big one. I've seen more than one shop that would use contract houses as a way to 'paper over' their internal turnover issues. After all, even if the internal resource at the body shop asks for and gets a

Suits get to then do talks about how awesome they are for their AI transition and the synergies it brought to their OKRS. Or some bs like that. Work at one or two shops where an expensive product makes the org's life a living hell but

Devils advocate... if this is being actively exploited or is easily exploitable, the delay in announcement can prevent other actions.

Idk. One challenge is that plenty of natural things can interfere with prescription medication... grapefruit juice comes to mind.

At my first high school they bought pcs with the MediaGX for their 'lab'. Terrible machines.

Well, main issue with the avalanche was the bed was integrated with the Cab body, which still led to SOME repairability challenges. Still, nowhere near as bad as a unibody like a Ridgeline or maverick
