We use Micro Focus's COBOL web server. I don't know what language the server is written in, but it does such a great job I've never had to hassle with it since we started using it twenty years ago. I even have Puppet scripts to setup new instances that have never been used except to create dev and QA environments. It just works.

It takes two to tango.

With Teams down, I've gotten more done than I have all year. It's been so great, our CTO has proposed banning Teams on Wednesdays which is our RTO day. I hope we do that.

I'm paying more than that for something about 1% of its estimated 100 Mbps speed. If I was allowed to use it in my condo building, it would change my life for the better. Also, it's smaller so it is easier for people to hide it on their property so a city or association isn't as likely to catch you using it. Being small enough to hide in a pot for a plant. That's important when you live in an urban area.

I'm paying almost $85 a month for DSL that is usually a half a megabit per second or less. In the middle of the night, it will sometimes hit a full megabit per second. This is near downtown Seattle. I'd kill to pay only $30 a month for 100 Mbps with Starlink. I just don't have a good enough view of the sky to make it work. My neighbor two floors above me has it working great, but he is head of the condo board so he was allowed to put the dish on a ten foot pole sticking out of his balcony so the dish can see the sky. I can't do that.

You are wrong. A lot of people in urban areas that can't get fast access would love something small that they could hide to keep their landlord from getting angry with them and hulk smashing their equipment.

Plus, the leak being done by a Trump-hater makes the optics even worse. What is her agenda?

Satya is trying to speedrun being hated as much as Gates and his crooked business practices.

You just nailed the most important part of Bezos' point. Expressing a bias of course leads people to not trust newspapers as unbiased sources.

On my 2011 mini, I hit the power button twice that I can remember by accident and turned it on when I didn't want to after shutting it down. I shut it down to move some cables and then hit the power button since it is in the back corner in just the perfect place where you'll hit it.

Or, they needed AppleCare because parts and repairs are so overpriced. That makes it a scam.

With that said, I still always buy it.

And one of the valid reasons to actually own at least a little in Bitcoin.

To be fair, after Microsoft fired most of their best programmers, this is all that is left that they can accomplish. Every single one of my friends that worked there have been fired for not getting promoted fast enough even if they were really good at the job they had.

She showed Tuesday she has trouble reading a clock. She looked very confused while trying to figure out if she went over her time.

Exactly, and reddit's problem here is that they participate in massive oppressive censorship, but they didn't this time. I agree with that, but they can't use the defense of being an open discussion forum and not responsible for the content.

work for still uses COBOL. Every paycheck for well over three million employees is generated by COBOL. We've been trying to replace it for well over a decade, but we've failed so far since there's just so many rules.
