SAP support auto-renewal gotcha: Do nothing now, pay for another year

StinkyMcStinkFace

I read this article and I have no idea what SAP is. Did some search and found a company called SAP and read their website.

I STILL have no clue what SAP is.

Did some searching on "what is sap?". There are whole pages of people discussing WTF is SAP?

I read all that and I STILL have no clue what SAP is.

But I'm glad they are apparently doing well! Phew.

Apparently they are cloud mongers, so it's no surprise I would be VERY far away from them.

Admins using Windows Server Update Services up in arms as Microsoft deprecates feature

StinkyMcStinkFace

This is NOT about WSUS!

Every single week I see another thing that Microsoft is RIPPING away from me, without my consent.

WIndows 10 (the last version of windows ever) now being FORCED to go to 11 with ads.

Exchange Server with critical features being disabled: i.e. Unified Messaging.

Windows Mixed Reality being DELETED by force, ruining Microsoft Flight Simulator Virtual Reality which I spent thousands of dollars in hardware to support.

This is not about WSUS, it's a pattern. A pattern of abuse and anti-consumer behavior from Microsoft that started years ago.

And yes, add us to the list of GET OFF MICROSOFT PRODUCTS AT ALL COSTS!

I am one-by-one moving everything to Linux. It's a long road, but we are getting there.

Ice pick in the speaker is a quick fix.

Re: The only logical explanation

> You can't stop tesla.

Oh my god of course you can. Don't buy a Tesla.

There are hundreds of reasons why my family will never submit to that shit. NEVER.

In fact, don't even bring one to my driveway to visit. If you are a tesla owner, we are not friends.

Re: Another strong argument...

I use HAM radio, and 900 mhz for local coms with friends who don't have a license.

StinkyMcStinkFace

This really shows you how far up their asses executives have their heads.

This will maximize revenue. NO, it wont. Because customer will be running away from you.

Morons.

StinkyMcStinkFace

If I am in a store shopping, and they start blasting ads on the background music speakers, I just walk out.

StinkyMcStinkFace

Yeah.... No.

No, really, please ban Chinese DJI drones from America's skies, senators are urged

StinkyMcStinkFace

No, the handheld controller connects to the Internet by WIFI and uploads flight logs and also get authorization to fly from DJI. No internet, no fly.

You can read countless stories of people vacations that were ruined because of this. Like people to spent a fortune to go on safari in africa and took the DJI drone, only to find that it would not take off due to no internet there in the bush.

I own two of them, I know how they work. I hate and despise DJI the company. The drone itself is great. The crippling spyware is horrific. My next drone will be home built.

HP's CEO spells it out: You're a 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies

Re: Everybody's Doing It

I just bought a new tractor this fall.

Guess what, I skipped John Deere. This is why.

Ubisoft? I started boycotting them over a decade ago.

BMW? Don't even go there.

HP? This is the last HP product I will ever own (rent).

Micro Focus bought by Canada's OpenText for $6b

As someone who worked for 2 corporations that were bought and destroyed by MF, and also worked for MF itself for 10 years, you guys at Opentext have my sincere condolences.

Run, do not walk, run for the nearest fire exit.

VMware president sees some 'anxiety' at customers who've seen Broadcom at work

StinkyMcStinkFace

Let's just cut right to the chase, ok?

VMWare is dead. It was dead the day announced the broadcom cancer infected it.

Some people haven't admitted to themselves yet, but they will.

Some of us who have decades of experience in this, and major gov contracts, already know it's dead and we are pissed off, but working on a migration plan.

VMware offers cloudy upgrade lifeline to legacy vCenter users

Re: Pain incoming

The "pain coming" is the work I have to put in to migrate all my servers and services OFF of VMware onto another platform.

You think you are going to bully us into moving to "the cloud" like MicroSquish is trying to do with Office 359?

F YOU!

It was a good ride while it lasted. I'm done with Microsoft and I'm done with VMware.

I'll drink a toast to your stock plummeting.

New York to get first right-to-repair law for electronics

StinkyMcStinkFace

You are going about this the wrong way. Apple is abusive to it's customers, so boycott them. I have boycotted them even long before this right to repair thing was a thing. In fact, my company gave me an iPhone for business use, for free, and I made them replace it with another manufacturer, I will NOT use any apple device for any reason.

In the 15 minutes I had my iPhone, I tried to install a 2-factor device, the very first thing I did with it. And I was told I could not, as it was an approved by Apple device.

F- YOU apple. I hate you, and I hate your products. Bye.

The first step to data privacy is admitting you have a problem, Google

StinkyMcStinkFace

Google doesn't "HAVE" a problem. Google "IS" a problem.

We block their stuff at the firewall level.

Someone here said they exist to make money. No they don't, they exist to spy on people and harvest your data.

Teach your kids to stop using the term "google for something", it's a problem that is embedded in the fabric of society and they need to be stomped out.

Nvidia outlines subscription-fueled journey to $1tr revenue

StinkyMcStinkFace

You compare this to Tesla like this is a good thing?

This is THE reason why I'll never buy a Tesla.

I'm all on board for electric vehicles, I've owned hybrids since 2005. Now I have a plug-in. Because of this bullshit Tesla is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned.

NEVER do SAAS. I'll be a dirt farmer before I do subscriptions.

Mozilla creates paid-for subscriptions for web doc library

StinkyMcStinkFace

yes, let them burn

People seem to be forgetting that Mozilla announced their censorship model that is baked into the product. They block what you can browse, at the browser level, even before plug-ins or extensions.

I think burn-in-hell is an appropriate response to that.
