"The retailer's network guys were ecstatic about how fast their network was, and convinced the suits that the incorrect timeout was an honest mistake, couldn't have been foreseen etc."Even better, they were fine with deploying a patch that included the proper timeout, despite the fact that it was during the pre-Christmas lockdown."

Re: ICE - still the way to go
Running on (near) 100% Ethanol means you can turn up the boost and advance the timing a trifle. It is also easy to make at home, burns cleaner, and is more efficient than gas/petrol. It's also a renewable energy source. Not a lot to dislike about Ethanol as a motor vehicle fuel.
Apart from the raw materials competing with some of the poorest people on the planet for food. (if we can solve that problem then that I agree with you)

Re: Change for the sake of change
Perhaps ironically it appears that while Apple appears revolutionary, they're actually quite evolutionary, without major disruptions, and easing things over in a transparent manner when disruption is inevitable. Meanwhile MSFT has shifted from that same model to one that is happy to alienate customers with every new release and increasing patch level.
On the other hand you can still run a lot of twenty year old 32bit software today on your PC; good luck running OS9 or PPC software on your Mac...

Re: Well... there's always...
My favourite bollocks policy was "Flights must be confirmed by your one over one manager by 1600 UK time or the flight will be cancelled". My boss' boss was in America and consequently if the first thing that he did wasn't approve our flights then they got cancelled... I'm pretty sure that my employer still had to pay the fees to the travel company though...

Re: Just in time supply lines
It's also not helped by the margins on generic drugs[0] being minuscule - quite often generic suppliers find a drug is making a loss and then stop selling it...

If you said the semiconductor shortage will last until Q2 2022, you would be correct, according to Gartner
Thursday 13th May 2021 08:47 GMT
Despite the shortages, worldwide semiconductor revenues grew to $464bn in 2020, up by 10.8 per cent on the previous year, according to IDC, and were forecast to hit $522bn in 2021.
Scarcity means that more can be charged for the same thing, it'd be interesting to see the chip volume figures too.
'Big updates' to Mac design app Sketch add real-time collaboration – but you'll need to fork out for a subscription
Wednesday 12th May 2021 16:14 GMT 
This is the same path Adobe went down years ago. The last version of the perpetual licence Creative Suite was CS6, released in 2012, since when it has been subscription or nothing. Sketch therefore remains distinctive in still offering its "Mac-only" licence, even though it is upping the pressure to migrate.
