Pretty sure the 2nd advisor isn’t actually a computer scientist/developer or if they are they are absolutely employed as Technical Sales for a consulting company. Otherwise their answer would have looked incredibly similar.

And they do not markup domain prices. You pay what they pay.

Because money.

When you sell to a big corporation their only goal is to milk every dollar possible.

And it will keep happening again and again until the system changes or people with more conscience than greed decide not to sell to the highest bidder.

It’s not good enough to be profitable. It’s good enough when your current workforce is at its breaking point because you can barely get the required work done. Then you announce record profits, the investment banks expect even more growth next quarter, the employees are thanked with a canned letter from the CEO for their hard work, you cut a division in half while increasing their work, hire a consulting firm that will do a crap job on a project but you don’t have to pay benefits, and then give your employees a negative review for poor time management of an impossible workload and do it all again.

I’m not jaded at all. :(

Well considering they are/were responding they may have just been spamming posts. Either way, incredibly annoying, especially with calling it OC.

Then stop claiming it’s OC with your post title. Not hard.

Edit - not sure if it’s an issue with my client or Lemmy - this comment was originally a reply to OP’s now deleted comment. Now showing as a reply to someone else (at least on my client).

This is not OC and probably is an unlabeled bot account. Check their post history.

None. The beauty of a federated system is that I can stay in my home and still interact with all of those groups should I choose. If using the local function is important to you, then whichever community you are interested in.

For anyone like me that can’t keep track of what model we are up to now: the 15 was just announced and will be released by the end of the month.

The 12 is a 3 year old device at this point so this really only affects resellers. Will be interesting to see if Apple pushes an OTA update to reduce the radio power to fall in line even though they no longer sell the device.

I mean, the non alarmist view here is that they are planning to use data provided by the various stores (Steam, Epic, etc) to determine installation count.

Not defending Unity, I haven’t done enough research to have an opinion on the change; but this take seems to correlate two things that probably aren’t related. Plus, what’s easier to do: build a system that tracks specific installs of specific games to specific hardware or to ask Steam and Epic for install counts over the last X months.

Serious question: what makes the ‘tackle’ by the security guard NOT assault?

There was no prevention of a crime that would normally warrant force. In most places you have to be asked to leave before it’s trespassing.

That seemed overly aggressive for a first reaction.

AI Tools - plural. ChatGPT (and OpenAI as a whole) predominantly runs on Azure infrastructure. Microsoft also owns GitHub with its associated copilot. And now all the Microsoft product specific copilots.

Not trying to defend their usage, but there are several forests here that are quite visible.

I knew he was nutty, but holy fuck this guy is actually insane.

If you haven’t, watch at least the first minute of the video. That’s all you need to have your jaw hit the floor at the crazy.

I am choosing to believe that the hyphenated word should be ‘killer-crab’ for a much more entertaining and terrifying article.

So many people don’t get this but it’s extremely important. Jack Smith and Fani Willis have been extremely careful and smart in the charges they have brought. They can add more later. And many think they will. But if you are going after the mob, you better make sure your charges are in order and you have a sure fire case or it will come back to bite you.

Because his only plan, and the only plan that has even the slightest chance of working, is to delay.

Delay and bank on winning the election. Then have his new AG drop the charges and pardon himself.

Look at the 3 big cases. Respond on the last possible day. Challenge everything even if there is no reason to and they know it won’t go anywhere. Just the challenge slows things down because it has to get litigated.

Trump has used this tactic for decades with his casinos and other properties. Something in your way? Tie it up in litigation until it no longer matters and then drop the suit. But now it’s in overdrive and much much worse.

Researchers at the US National Centre for Atmospheric Research calculated the density of a cumulus cloud to be around 0.5 grams (0.018 ounces) of water per cubic meter, so a 1 cubic kilometer (0.24 cubic mile) wide cloud would contain 1 billion cubic meters (35 million cubic feet). If you calculate the number of cubic meters times by the density, 1,000,000,000 x 0.5, you’ll be left with the total weight of a cumulus cloud of that size – 500,000 kilograms (1.1 million pounds).
