That was the last great windows, for windows values of great. I refuse to go find out, but I bet someone has even figured out how to get it past the 2GB limit and implement USB.

...because IF it's a bubble, the bursting is going to be worse than the mortgage bubble and dot-com bubble combined if the oil embargo is still on.

Invest in doomsday shelters.

Seems like it would be an improvement.

I see no quote there that implies 100%. Tiqui, you read poorly.

DilbertBossGPT was set to 11 for that one

Every wavelength of IR is attenuated by cloud cover to some degree, some more strongly than others. Absorption is also not the only issue.

What? You absolutely had to authenticate to administer a Netware server, unless you did it from the console in the early days. That is logging in. If you don't think so, then neither is passwordless rsh, or ssh with a key and no password.

Most of the basic behavior of the UI used in Windows was inherited from IBM CUA, and is also shared by all of the commonest DEs for Linux. They also all have an analogue of the start menu. It's unclear what you're talking about here.

Back when the OS MacOS is now based on was created, there was no distinction between workstation and server OSes. Therefore MacOS X not being intended as a server OS is a downgrade from the prior product... like many of the changes Apple made, especially the UI ones.

They chose the under-tested alpha version of an OS from a vendor who is running an attack on the GPL. What could possibly be less surprising than that? You need to recalibrate your surprise-o-meter.

Yeah that. Why not a GitGov or GovHub? It makes zero sense.

I was just going to remind IS of their password policy recommendations that everyone doing business with the feds are supposed to follow.

So much for that fucking idea.

I did a stint as an RV repair tech but I really don't want to replace more poop tanks and I can't get a good reference because my ex-boss is a POS.

Maybe it's appliance repair next I guess, that was some of the least terrible RV repair work

Correction: "It's even possible the messes from coerced AI will create lots of clean-up jobs later."

Better wording: "Pressure to use AI may result in more jobs down the road to clean up AI's mistakes."

Even if only a third of this crap works

It's even possible the messes from coerced AI makes will create lots of clean-up jobs later. Managers pressure employees to use AI, and most will satisfy their token quota to keep their job, but not necessarily with sound engineering and quality control in mind.

It's roughly comparable to using more RAD tools to make non-trivial apps (pre-AI). It can be done "good enough", but is usually a longer-term maintenance headache: penny-wise-pound-foolish. Similar happened with the outsourcing craze roughly 15 years ago. Many regretted it.
