Plus $24 per month for the service subscription. It includes it's own number with unlimited talk, text, and data. So basically, you're buying another phone
i am not sure why this could not have been a phone accessory instead of a more expensive stand-alone device.

Well today's post is pretty much a dupe of the one you linked to. The one I posted is a bit older.
They are doing the same thing as the "news" channels. Focusing on emotional reactions that cause viewers to stay tuned. They actually create viewers that think they are informed but their viewers actions indicate otherwise.
Agreed. The cloud is perfect for things like Exchange/email, DNS, simple web. SaaS and PaaS is where the cloud makes sense. If you are just lifting and shifting VMs to the cloud (IaaS) then you are not doing it right.
A lot of these places shifting back to on-prem will be complaining in another 5-7 years when it comes time to replace the hardware they are buying today unless they plan for it. Chances are they will not be ready.
Right. When I saw this
"SAM ALTMAN: A hundred percent. You see this in a lot of the history of technology where someone makes an empirical discovery. They have no idea what's going on, but it clearly works. Then, as the scientific understanding deepens, they can make it so much better."
Why not use AI to speed up the scientific understanding? Because it isn't really intelligent or even artificially intelligent. It just appears to be smart.
Agreed. It is an expert at taking educated guesses.
It analyzes all of the data it has and does some probability analysis to take it's best guess. It is like someone took a chess playing engine and applied it to everything.
Agreed. It is not unheard of for orgs to 'outgrow' the cloud. Facebook and others eventually needed to build their own datacenters and even their own hardware.
Let's see where this company is in 5 years and how accurate their savings statement was. It could be grossly inaccurate up or down. PHB's and their quotes are just silly to me.
Cloud comes in varying degrees. Starting from colocating your gear in someone else's racks to IaaS, PaaS, and finally SaaS. There are varying degrees in the *aaS offerings depending on what level of fault tolerance you are looking for.
The higher you go up in the offerings, the more you relinquish control and responsibility but gives you the most bang for your buck.
The biggest mistake companies can do when moving to the cloud is to lift and shift their severs and services 1:1. This is the most expensive option and offers the least value to most.
Let cloud providers take over handle services that are basically commodities these days (basic web, email, DNS, etc.) so you can focus on more important things.
Fast, reliable, cheap.- Pick any two.

NEWSFLASH - You Usually Get What You Pay For
Typically, if you buy low end gear you're going to get a low end experience and a shorter lifespan of usefulness.
I bought a midrange Dell Chromebook 4.5 years ago and I have been very happy with it. I use it every day for what it is
I also have an sister that I have setup on a Chromebox. She is disabled, older, and not tech inclined at all. She has had two of these 11 years and the need for my tech support has been almost non-existent. One time she call me for help when she got stuck in pop-up hell with a bunch of windows telling her she had a virus. I walked her through a reboot and "power wash" just to be sure and within a few minutes she was happy.
