Looks a lot like that ATSC tuner/DVR which I bought for about $30.

It can't, because I already switched over to Jellyfin a couple years ago! /rimshot

of course you have to authenticate, but you run all of the software to administer it on a client, not sitting at the console. The console had only the most barebones capability, usually user management. The tools to administer ran on the client.

... job on the line? Because that looks like a great "low human capital" type job to start with.

I'm honestly surprised that the CISA spokeswoman didn't include a non-sequitir like "we are re-building a world class workforce after the DEI-driven destruction caused by Biden's administration" nor a statement praising Donald Trump. Typically at least one of the two is included in any deflection offered by the current administraiton.

(In Gilbert Gottfried's voice:) "It looks like you're building a container!"

...it makes sense to have a headless server operating system when you're mostly running commodity spin-up/spin-down headless servers. Microsoft's server operating system was still largely based on the idea of running on a baremetal self-contained box, even though Microsoft servers had long, long since been used in the virtual machine space. If anything they're quite far behind the curve on this.

The Novell Netware model adapted to the VM era is what makes sense, where the tools don't require logging in to the server at all in order to administer the environment.

IBM is and has always been a services/consultant business, even when they made products.

I'm not so sure about the UI. The history of Microsoft and UI for the past 40 years is that they're happy to abandon their incumbent UI for different. We saw that with Windows 3.x to '95 and NT4, with Windows 98 and the integration of Spyglass Mosaic Internet Explorer, with the transition from Windows ME and Windows 2000 to Windows XP, the subsequent further transition from XP to Windows 7, and the rework from Windows 8.x to Windows 10. We even saw it with Windows 10 to Windows 11.

They change their UI because their customers don't see the OS being new/different unless they change their UI. If the UI looks the same then the average untrained end user doesn't know the difference and doesn't see a value in spending the money to upgrade.

... until morale improves!

According to the NYT, employees have been asked to work remotely that day and emails about the layoffs would be sent at 4 a.m. local time.

This seems incredibly sociopathic. It's basically "don't let the door hit you on the way out, because I DON'T WANT YOUR ASS PRINTS ON MY DOOR!"

Azure Linux also comes with a command-line helper - ClippyAI! Leveraging the power of CoPilot, ClippyAI will help streamline your daily tasks... such as recognizing when you are writing a letter.

Why are you pretending Israel does? pWhat's good for the goose ...

Steel-making waste by-products, like fluoride.

I don't see where this has recieved government approval anywhere. The inventors might wish this to be so, but that's going to be a tough hill to climb.

Anecdote: A few years back, our state undertook a program to switch number plates every few years. Nothing to do with damage to a plate or any other reason. Sort of a nuisance, IMO. One day, I had mentioned this to a freind of mine, well connected in law enforcement circles. I said that this would be a boon for stalkers, because victims, upon noting strange cars in an area and comparing them to plates previously noted, would just think, "Not the same number. I must be imagining things." The state's plate-switching obsession stopped soon after that.

So, what's the point here? To produce a 21st century version of the James Bond plate flipper?

Personally, I prefer mud. It's a small traffic infraction by comparison.
