Doesn't this kind of make sense? We are not dealing with personal property. We are dealing with term licensed software. Github is a software distributing network. Like the app store, or Steam. They grant you access to licensed content,

The culture at MS$ is to servitize enough of their products and then force customers to use them. That way, the products won't be so exposed to users and Microsoft will be able to limit their own liability without actually improving th

It would be a mistake to put Chinese paper mill science into the same category as western science. I mean this is a country where Government and private sector have no boundaries. China is purposely attempting to dillute actual science with

So you describe a 50% failure rate and you doubt me? I believe you have a false sense of confidence in your suppliers and their products. Have fun rebuilding your house of cards over and over again. Being dismissive about security is the lo

McAfee sold it's Entrerprise division in 2021. Ever since they have primarily focused on scaring boomers into subscription plans. They used to have an on-prem EDR platform called McAfee EPO but I think that was replaced with some cloud

biggest threat on the web is Google. They lower the bar so low that people who have no business collecting user information are collecting user information, then they host it insecurely for you with no liability to the end user whatsoever.

When you think about the manufacturing advances of the past 60 years, this is logical. Machinists used to require skill. Now they LITERALLY just screw the part into a machine and press a green button. And the pay went from 100k+ to $45k. An

Maybe replacing the steering column, a 6lb steel shaft, with drive by wire at a cost 10lbs of rare earth magnets, 50lbs of copper, 10 computer chips, many position sensors, and 150k lines of code was a bad idea.

You actually believe that an intruder gained access to their KB/Tickets and didn't manage to get valuable information? That's not what Jira is for. If you know what Jira is for, and you're willing to run it on-prem, then

What I don't understand is how they got access to Jira yet you still insist there was no compromise. The very nature of Jira and Confluence (both terrible products, btw) is to collect documentation. I'm assuming it was an internal

They'll sell you one too. But you probably care about silly things like gas mileage or legroom or number of speakers or some other unimportant metric. I can't set other people's priorities for them. All I know is that nobody

Absolutely. 1000%. I buy trucks primarily because the capability aligns with my hobbies, and secondarily because the mass affords me additional safety. My F150 is 6,000lbs. I imagine a 2,800lb Corolla wouldn't fair too well in a fronta

I'm not gonna downvote you. But to your point about the hardware market, a mid range server CPU of today will be about as fast as an entry model CPU next year. Actual performance wise, your old server can probably keep up with a newer
