"...shipped into China..."
"...imports from California chip companies Nvidia and AMD."
Indeed it is. Try relying on some of these for in-house developed app integrations. Changing gears more than a Gen Z'er figuring out a manual transmission...lol.
Seeing Google's track record of this (https://killedbygoogle.com/), dude's not wrong...
After so many years of enjoying the convenience of streaming music/audio, I was amazed at how used to the quality I've become. From music being streamed from my phone to listening to SiriusXM in the car to letting Alexa entertain me at home, etc. This past year I went old school and bought a record player, and nabbed some classic vinyl I'd owned back in the day. Listening to the depth and richness of it compared to digitized streaming media was like night and day. Obviously the bandwidth and convenience are huge wins for streaming audio. But the penalties are definitely there as well...
Yep. The API was pretty mature too, so I could incorporate it into a custom work app and have lots of interoperability. Then with little fanfare or warning it broke. Another Google idea that was sunsetted.
Yep. To pass inspection. Although that could just patch over to an ATA, and doesn't have to be independent copper POTS. Other than that and the alarm lines, we have one vendor who's located outside of the US (over in Europe). We still have to fax them orders. In 2022. And regardless of the T.38 gyrations and other VoIP config tweaks I couldn't get consistent faxing unless we stick the fax on copper POTS. Fun times.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
