The only difference is cost.
The latter is the total value of Gilead (was: USA) the president’s puppet master gets
The former is boll lox pure and simple as Reagan tried & failed with Star Wars

Ne’er will the Orange Manbaby get this built but his pals will laugh all the way to the bank!
If it stood over them and gave them a golden shower! Having been head of a company that made OSS products, anytime our sales 'roids got around US DoD it was a complete shitshow trying to deflect all the untruths and misconceptions their so-called experts had. Not that a single one of them had ever contributed to or worked with OSS beggared belief and if one asked them about compiling BIND or Sendmail they stared at you like a deer in the headlights.
No matter how many PIN tests, external vendor penetration tests we wasted hundreds of thousands on, their goons wouldn't accept.

if NHS Bucks and NHS Berks are any example, even in this age they don't have electronic record sharing. so if you're lucky as a resident of either county when you have to take a ride in an ambulance to the other counties' hospitals your healthcare data will be INvisible to them.
if not when you're discharged you'll be handed 10-20 printed pages to be taken to your counties' GP who in turn will scan them and att them to your record.

shit

of idiocy!
HR doesn't need any fancy tools -- they already have the human shredder which is the tool they use to scan CVs.
What they need are actual HUMANS, with a brain, compassion and caring for the good of the employee.

Sigh, loks like I've not sniffed enough glue this week, again :(
at my last $dayjob before retiring they used it. regularly we lost access to folders, made backup copies of EVERYTHING and in the end discovered the only reliable network drive for Macs was to copy files into folders of, get ready for this -- Teams!
not well documented but Teams allows shared folders that live forever. who the fuck thought this was a better solution???
AWS is far from being an outlier in this and younger readers should well take note. I’ve personally had this happen going back over the last 20+ years 3(!) times and now at age 65 I decided enough was way past enough! Age is NO DETERMINING factor to intelligence, creativity, and being able to find what’s needed yet industry continues with reckless abandon to pull this crap!
Fuck em, I’m mostly glad to no longer being hit with this shit so until older workers rise up and say they’re sick as hell of this shit it will continue.
I don't have to deal with this shit anymore and if you can at all afford to, now's the time to find a new employer!
My previous job offered all employees the decision point in 2021 to stay FTE onsite, or Hybrid, or 100% WFH.
I signed 100% WFH with only very occasional forays into the orifice, which meant my travel expenses were reimbursable! That company (now US owned) is now trying to force new contracts down everyone who'd signed WFH contracts and discovered that UK employees do not have to agree. So my prediction for my ex-staff there is look for another job now!
You don't need Ain't Intelligence boffinry to know where the potholes are! Just look for the tyre carcasses, drivers swerving/hitting their brakes to know where they are!
It would be shocking to deploy this gadgetry in Buckinghamshire, which is totally like driving on the Moon!
Given the huge number of boffins in IBM and their participating in loads of standards groups. why not use this as an excellent oportunity to improve iDen and UPDATE it to be compatible on today's networks? iDen has worked almost flawlessly in a number of countries around the world, unless NIH is the operating principle here!?!?!!!
Or is that outside the scope of profit making at Itsy Bitsy Minds
Sadly as a hiring manager I have zero doubt I've missed looking at some awesome folks! Whilst I have complete sympathy with the drudgery of reading loads of CVs, doing so has many times over led me to make some amazing hires in my career! It has never been more evident on the misuse of technology to those applying for work. The deployment of ATS software has so dehumanised the jobseeking world you're lucky to be contacted at all as shown in this article and other articles.
Fuck automation, I'm retiring on Tuesday and will be rid forever of this crap!
Sorry Windows users, Canon broke this for us Mac users several years ago and you've not a f*cking hope in hell of it getting fixed!
Having gone round and round with their (in)famous tech support gets you a "you need to buy a new model printer"
I've told them to shove a sock in that as my printer/fax/copier worked perfectly fine until they BROKE it!
There's a special place in sCUNThorpe for them, right next door to HP now.
PS> For those who suggest VueScan they want £49.95/year for the privledge of using their app for which even the free version doesn't work with our 2017 Canon 510!
