I can just buy a micro pc off amazon for about 100 € that's around the same size and with win 11 on it. OK the win 11 gets toasted and Mint gets added but you get the gist.
I've been waiting for MS to go the whole dumb terminal, but much as they obviously have a fuck off network on planet MS, the rest of the world has Internet outages, so I expect they'll have to come up with a local copy server product called On Prem Fucked Internet Backup Server to store company shit before sending it off to cloud land.
I think MS is now about as sane as Trump.
First rule of gov dept data: never share it as the dept receiving the stuff will take you over.
2nd rule, getting data out of any gov dept database is vastly expensive due to the shite contract someone signed 15 previously.
3rd rule: No one in power ever wants to know detail, so they ain't interested.
4th rule: keep your cv polished because you'll be gone in about a year.
Knew they'd be in there someplace. Gf bought a "smart" Samsung tv the other week. She said setting it up was hell, the interface loaded with dark patterns from which there was no escape until you'd provided them with detailed personal details and promises that they could do anything they wanted with said details.
Then after the data grab, I presume soon they'll be after cash for it to keep working.
If anything asks if you have internet, just say no.
Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity spring to mind. That bit of the NASA satellite didn't work so NASA cribs the data from ESA. Maybe we should shut down the feed, given that all that SMOS stuff will be "woke" anyway to a certain mop headed cretin and his mutt Musk.
God just thought... Donald Dasterdly and Muskly. .
All banks do in th EU area. As does Amazon et al. Drives me insane. I've internet but no mobile signal
One bank sends a message to my app on my phone, I open app, it validates phone, then validates me, then shows me the app message which I accept or decline. That works fine.
Another bank sends a message to my app on my phone, I open app, it validates phone, then validates me, then shows me a code which I paste, then it sends me a code to confirm the previous code by sms... No mobile signal. Aarrgghh.
After being extremely rude to their fuckwit chatbot, I was told 10 mins phone wait time to speak to a person. I hung on and seemingly the chatbot didn't have the level of clearance to resolve my problem anyway as the Internet is too insecure. Who knew!
>experience gained during 5G implementations aka we got our asses kicked.
As everyone above says, the current signals are shit on 5G and that isn't likely to change until stuff gets bolted onto starlink (or similar) and then the IoT wankfest can begin. However IoT is low data. You don't get many connected cows downloading cat videos or taking out Netflix subscriptions.
6G is just the AI hype of the who world.
>Monday filed a joint response [PDF] acknowledging the error. Their filing includes the following:
We are a bunch of idle bastards who believe any old shit a computer says, as long as we can leg it to the bar on a Friday afternoon and still bill the customer for the time it would have taken to do the job properly. We're lawyers, we don't do sorry.
Local government can't even get an ERP system off Oracle that works so christ knows how clued up they'll be with AI. Chucking in the EU's couple of hundred billion yesterday, we must be up to about 100 quid cost for every person on the planet. Gimme 100 quid and I promise never to use AI. I promise.
