I don't get why there are no more missions toward the Moon. Being (relatively) close, it is 'easy' and fast to send a rocket to there. Why is there no mission to test automatic rovers with advanced capacities, to discover what the lava tunnels and caves look like, to experiment 3D printing to built housings, to install telescopes (traditional ones)... Shouldn't be the Moon an experiment field before Mars?
If you live in a country where there is censored, approved official mainstream media outlets, you haven't access to twitter.
I would tend to agree to the point of the article: conferencing is very useful, video-conferencing is not. I guess most of people I communicate with each day through numerous VC systems agree, because most of them do not share their video. Sharing desktops, apps and docs is useful, but what the point of looking at somebody wearing the same mask as I do anyway?
Witnessing about different systems quality, I favor Webex over Teams and Skype for now.
Forcing companies to change their processes because of a software is totally idiot, can break their business model, put their production line on its knees, make the work of Quality, Servicing, Logistics services a hassle. That's stupid.
I pity the companies which would walk this way because the beancounters say so.
Beancounters cut into IT budget and it went wrong... how it is possible? At least they learned their lesson!
“take better advantage of technical innovations and keep pace with technology trends in order to support HMRC’s digital transformation and move to lower cost and highly resilient cloud services
Maybe not.
You get what you pay for. As we say in French, you can't have at the same time the butter, the money for the butter and the creamer lady's arse.
I know a lot of big companies whose accountants found smart to externalise to the max everything related to IT. The consequence is those companies lost all of the embedded knowledge, and relied on underpaid and overloaded staff of technicians and engineers leased by meat-sellers like Cap Gemini, HCL and al. And now they wonder why IT works badly, with security and privacy breaches, bad software, people angry and/or desperate about IT support...
Is Boeing one of those?
Russia is playing a stupid game by showing all its assets for such stupid pretexts of taking revenge because they were caught massively cheating in sports. It's like their bosses didn't read Sun Tsu. A good thing for us, the more we see the nasty things they can do, the more we will be prepared to counter them.
On a side note, Kaspersky is less and less Russian and more and more Swiss
In the socialist hell-hole known as France, we have a law named 'the right to disconnect' . It's far from being perfect, there are loopholes, but it's a start. No one should become a serf exploitable at will because technology enables it. Slavery is over, I fear people will have to fight to avoid having it reinstated.
Two drinks each time you ear 'woops, I wasn't muted' .
About the decree - If those urban people who find it cool to go living in the countryside were not stupid enough to go on trial because of a rooster singing too loud, or peasants working too early or too late because it's harvest time, such a decree wouldn't be issued. And those same urban people wouldn't be surprised if accidentally their cars have 4 flat tires or suddenly experiment self-combustion... Life in countryside is harsh sometimes.
I know, that's harsh. On the other hand, you can kill people without being charged for murder if you are protected enough.
For most of PDF I use SumatraPDF. does the job and nothing more, so not vulnerability free, but quite.
Can be download via ninite (ninite rulz!)
That's no reason to ban my hates; nor why the expression of --- only the implementation of --- any beliefs, should be denied a voice
Of course it is, as your expression of calling for somebody to be killed is not allowed. You can't say publicly whatever you want without facing consequences. Would you accept for instance Daesh propaganda openly published on Facebook?
That as nothing to do with opinions, but with well documented and proven facts. We are not talking about science, we are talking about people being killed.
Will he do the same for those denying the Porajmos, the Holodomor or the Armenian genocide?
Those propagating the idea these events did not exist are today's accomplices of yesterday's and tomorow's murderers.
I looked at Human rights in Pakistan. Domestic violence in Pakistan is endemic, journalists are persecuted, ethnic and extrajudiciary killings are numerous as are forced conversions associated with rapes. But hey, banning TikTok is _the_ solution for all this, isn't it?
I loved your trolling on LinkedIn about the guy happy to find a kid willing to work for free. You make LinkedIn a fun place to visit, at last. LinkedIn is way too syrupy, tasting like a cake made of sugar only. It's good to see some social distortion there ^^
the cybercriminal may have accessed some unencrypted fields intended for bank account information, social security numbers, usernames and/or passwords. In most cases, fields intended for sensitive information were encrypted and not accessible
So bank account information, social security numbers, usernames and/or passwords are not sensitive informations?! Do these guys in PR believe we are so utterly stupid to swallow this $hit without noticing?
May the european regulators impale them all! Where's is Vlad Dracul when you need him?
I would tend to agree with your remarks, but because we are the ones who elect them and put them in place, we collectively deserve the politicians we get.
Our new overloads pushed Office365 through our throats to replace our old Exchange on premise. The later was not fantastic but at least was working 364,9 days per year. Teams are really delighted not being able to use mail, a critical service for us as this is the main tool used by customers to place orders.
I *love* when accountants take IT decisions.

Pay the people better and they may be not tempted by bribery.
Something's rotten on Amazon Marketplace: I made a bad review on a sh*tty product on Amazon. 2 weeks later, I received several mails from the 3P shop asking me to remove my review in exchange of a few cash. I refused and contacted several times Amazon to ask them if bribery was a standard practice on Marketplace. I never got a relevant answer from Amazon.
