Man,you didn't even manage to read the entire first sentence of the post you reponded to let alone the entire post.

The number of college attendees vs. college age population is higher than it ever was, including at the school in question. It is predicted that population decline will overtake this higher rate of college attendance in the next few years.

In light of those two facts, what bar are you talking about exactly?

Please go learn some more before trying this again. Or just keep digging in and looking foolish, whichever works for you.

Because calling the toy Rupert's Noperthedron, would be accurate but might fail to gain market traction.

AWS is a terrible place to work (by design) and has a brain drain problem. The system is now so complicated that the people remaining no lnoger have sufficient intitutional knowledge to reason about it in an effective manner, so issues are being sorted out by rediscovery rather than knowledge. This creates consistent new issues as code is deployed that nobody thought could cause issues in a system they don't truly understand.

I'm not saying a agree with it, but for your very first complain you need to understand: you're doing it wrong. That's not how public cloud is intended to be used. VMs are herd not pets. There should never be a reason to rename a VM. You spin up another and move on.

"But I need it to....." Nope. You're doing it wrong. It's not what that system was designed for and if you want to use it you need to design your workloads to operate within the theory of how it's intended to function. It's really that simple. Things will continue to be hard as long as you continue to attempt to use the wrong tool for the job at hand.

A man of fine taste, and to make this an excellent deal all around, I will toss in 64M of RAM from a bygone era, RetroMan

Not an urban legend when the ability to do so is far from ubiquitous. It is also in their interest to make you think this is all working properly when it's not.

This is well known. So are all of the warehouses full of CRTs that someone got paid to take and then abaondoned them in their leased warehouse. Plastic recycling barely happens. Paper and cardboard batches are routinely thrown out because of greasy food containers.........

We've all been getting this BS recycling thing pushed on us for decades. I'm not saying nothing is happening, but its in very few places and very few things that are actually getting recycled. And, surprise, it's the easy stuff. We're just trucking and shipping the rest around for no good reason (but people sure are making money off of it!).

Real recycling programs are difficult (for the processors and the consumers) and expensive. SF is (or at least was) a good example of what a more meaningful recycling program looks like, but even they can't do much of anything with most of the plastics and e waste other than shit it off to someone who pinky swears it's getting responsibly taken care of.

It's like you don't work in tech or something. Because nobody who does would have typed that out. And it's incredibly laughable that you think people are flocking to government work for a currently shut down and dysfunctional government.
Was this an attempt at comedy or satire that I missed?

You need hands, dawg

Someone going to reddit for health advice is already too profoundly naive to adequately help.

Sounds like a vendor selection issue to me. While I agree that this is never likely to happen/find any mass adoption, your issue isn't likely to be a major reason.

Don't replace a roku with an apple tv. Come on now. There are plenty of good options running AOSP (android open source project). Just never log into the play store and it's fine. Or if you must switch your launcher to something sane like projectivy rather than the google one that pushes ads at you.
