This is all about Big Tech being all out of ideas, so just running yet another hype cycle (3DTV, VR, Augmented Reality, Crypto, NFT). The tech bros are so far out of touch with reality that they get into these frenzies, without speaking to any real ordinary people.
It's just one big circle jerk, it's just this one has burnt through so much money, it's disgusting. They could of done something actually useful for all the resources they've wasted.
Another 3 years, they'll be finding something else to bang on about, that the general public doesn't give a flying fuck about
@MacDiamond.
After a complete breakdown trying to do a 10 hour day (2 hours in traffic), plus being on call every other week, yet being expected in the next day even with 2 hours sleep, it got to much.
I had a new car, nice big flat, good money, but ultimately it meant nothing if every day I'm miserable, stressed and exhausted.
After the breakdown, it took a while, but I realised what was important.
I live in a little village, in a small but lovely rented flat, most of my furniture is second hand, as are many of my clothes, my car is old, but reliable and as for my job; I do my job, go home and it's done. I'm on 50% now of what I was on 5 years ago.
My house is full of art, I know loads of really interesting and creative people. When I can I go out to either live music or raves (yes I'm over 50), because music makes me feel alive. Most of this costs me next to nothing.
Financially, I'm probably the worst I've been since my late teens, but also the happiest I've been since then as well, and that's a trade I'm willing to make.
Trump will claim fake news.
Democrats will do nothing
"Judge" will find them guilty
Whitehouse will call for judge to be impeached
Sentence will be given
Persons will be pardoned.
Corruption continues as normal.
The press and politicians will blame immigrants/ the poor / the sick for their problems caused by the above.
People will believe what they are told, by whichever version of the truth they want to hear.
"Thirty years ago, we lost a shed load of circuits. It transpired they all flowed through one exchange in Birmingham which was a core node in north/south traffic."
I will absolutely back up this AC, because I had to deal with the massive cluster fuck this caused our company. I even know the exact locations of the two exchanges they are in about, because one of our major offices was directly opposite, the other was directly in-between the two).
If I was a security researcher, I'd so comply.
Sure here is my video, explaining how it is exploited in terms so easy, anyone could follow the video and recreate the issue. Just click this link to my public YouTube post to watch it.
It's the one titled "How to take over a Windows machine using an unpatched exploit"
When the Daily Heil and their insipid counterparts refer to these "straight cucumbers" type rules (thought it was bananas), or "elf n safety gawn mad) are usually completely wrong, made up or deliberately designed to sell papers and distract people from the real shitty things that are wrong in the world (corporate greed, billionaire tax evaders, cronism).
"Straight banana laws are mad". The reason you don't see super curly bananas is because the supermarkets won't stock them, because the supermarkets conditioned you into not wanting them, because the supermarket realises they take up too much space.
The H&S bollocks 99.99% of the time is nothing to do with the law, more to do with insurance or the fact someone can't be arsed to do their job.
"that Carr is on a mission to convince European countries to ditch Huawei from their networks"
Because King Orange and his little pet bitches are doing such an amazing job of promoting US EU relations that they will ditch them in favour for US products. Products that we can 100% be relied on to look after interests should the worst happen.
....as some more enlightened people have commented, it's a risk Vs reward.
My last company had a DR site that could hold 300 people fully equipped, with desktops, monitors and phones, plus another 100+hotdeskers, plus over 500 able to shoot off to other offices, then that's what you are talking about. Plus dual shipping container generators and UPS battery rooms bigger than most people houses.
This would be idea no?
Difference is, when the company is going to lose around £1 million an hour, throwing a few million in infrastructure, and tens of thousands a year on upkeep, is nothing really.
It's the same reason the UK doesn't have massive fleets of snow plows. The huge costs buying and maintaining them, just isn't worth the trade off in risk of not having them.
It's all about face.
BYD is a battery company that also make cars.
Tesla is a car company that also make batteries.
BYD are a clever bunch. For example, their bonkers hypercar charges faster than most other cars, because you can TWO chargers at once. Simple, but effective.
OVH were the fucking worse. The amount of attacks against my (little) sites was obscene. You report it to them and pretty much nothing would happen. If it somehow did stop, another would spin up the next day.
They are the reason I moved to Cloudflare, and now my drop all is pretty extensive. Throw it the bot blocking and the traffic has plummeted.
But pretty much every professional photo IS modified,from a minor crop to lens correction, right through full editing. If the photo is credited (with the correct photographer) great, but not everyone will want GPS and all that data. What about photographers that prefer to use older kit (there are a lot).
So how do you cope with that? What about privacy? Some photographers DON'T want to be geolocated, or want plausible deniability.
They haven't said no at all. What they have said is "maybe next year". He says it's not leadership, but sometimes that's what it takes. Anything to him other than "Yes, here's the money" appears to be seen as a rejection.
With the current mess and corruption going on in the US government at the moment, NASA are probably wondering if they'll actually be around next year, yet alone getting soil from Mars. Spending this much money at this time would give the assholes "running" the government a chance to say "Look at all this money NASA is wasting"
