I just bought a house in March. Any listing where the home was already vacated (95% in my case) the listing was AI-augmented with furniture that would not exist when I went to tour the home.

This has nothing to do w/renting; it's everywhere.

...is that when people say this, the subtext usually is, "...but if we ever throw up our dog-food, we expect someone else to go grab the mop". AWS customers have long been on the brunt end of this for AWS services that rely on other AWS services. Did service X fail because service Y that it uses suffered a rate-limit or some other outage? "Sorry customer, to hear about YOUR problem. Here's some suggestions to fix YOUR problem." Blah blah blah... Now AWS has done it to themselves. There needs to be paradigm shift to "own my failures, don't pass the buck" from a service perspective. Things need to work on days when it's pouring rain just like on days when the sun is shining. Having a brittle supply chain like this shouldn't be acceptable. Each service has to have a back-up plan whenever possible. It will lead to more robust architecture design patterns when creating such services, even if it makes things harder for AWS.

I was playing on a 53K USR Courier at 185 ping and that was a bit laggy when compared to the LAN at college (even if it was 4xT1s for 25K students). I really want to know how the hell you were able to do anything useful at 500+ms.

Morons with more money than they know what to do with????

I recall when Musk was saying they were expecting to get perhaps 10 launches out of the first stages.. Now this one did its 31st launch?? DAMNED impressive...

I vote KUbuntu, currently the 24.04LTS version. I've tried Mint and some of the other "introductory" distros, but I keep coming back to Ubuntu and the KDE/Plasma DE.. Your mileage may vary.

> The law "undermines the basis of the cost savings and will lead to bulk billing being phased out," the group said.

Good; it's monopolistic, predatory, and ultimately unnecessary. The entire practice is aimed at driving consistency and forced adoption rates, not anything else.

Finally made the switch a few weeks ago. Other than League of Legends not working, I couldn't be happier.

2nd for Ventoy. Rufus kept bricking my USB drives.

Lemme chime in here with a hearty "F--K YOU MICROSOFT"...

Windows 10/11 runs just fine withOUT a license/COA. The only thing is you can't customize it. Big F'ing deal...

As for "no security updates", try 0patch.com (thats a digit zero, not the letter o". They charge $24/year for security patching Windows10, 8.1, 7 and believe it or not, XP... Check it out

..."Aww Snap, It's gone!"

Rule #1: when the entire MSM machine fires up and suddenly starts pushing the same narrative very aggressively in lockstep with each other, you can take it to the bank that not only is that narrative FALSE but also likely very harmful to you.

Rule #2: when the MSM âoefact-checkersâ and censorship machine fires up into overdrive to suddenly try to debunk or censor some topic, you can bet the house that whatever that topic happens to be is directly over the target.

Have to be careful here though. People often criticize speed traps setups as being more fundraising events than making the roads safer. If the carrot gets too big, there could be unintended consequences.

Your friend had better have SERIOUSLY GREAT MEDICAL INSURANCE (such that doesn't exist..) OR be really wealthy as those drugs you see ENDLESSLY advertised on tv are SERIOUSLY expensive.
