It is generally very hard to migrate off any virtualization platform without new hardware. That generally limits the speed at which you can migrate off to hardware refresh cycles.

Hah just migrated off VSphere to Proxmox on the same hardware. Something of a crazy scheme but the license increase made it the only sane choice.

If your expensive trained professionals need expensive retraining to use a different virtualization solution they are in my view not up to the job in the first place and you need to let go of them.

Nobody is too young for an official ID, period. You can obtain a passport, which serves as an official ID, at birth; otherwise, you will not be allowed into a foreign country. I know the rate of holding passports in the USA is much lower than elsewhere, but that is irrelevant as to whether a citizen of the USA can obtain official ID at any age.

The fundamental problem is mass immigration. Since 2012, there has been a net immigration of 2.12 million; going back further, the figure is even higher. If you were to strip out the immigration, magically, the housing and water shortages disappear in a puff of smoke.

The primary reason is mass immigration. Add a few million extra people, and boom, you need a lot more water. Yes, the water companies have been bad at reducing leakage rates, but that is only an issue because of the extra demand due to mass immigration.

Tell that to the people living in the highlands and islands when the Co-op got hit earlier in the year. The nearest other supermarket is 100 miles away, and all of a sudden, it's no longer funny. I was in one a month after the attack, and the place was stripped. The only frozen goods were some ice cream and ice cubes. The only breakfast cereal was high-end muesli. Hell even the alcohol shelves were almost empty.

Now imagine that instead of M&S and the Co-op, it had been Tesco and Sainsbury's, now ~45% of your food supply is gone. Losing just Tesco at 27-28% market share would lead to significant shortages in the shops for weeks.

To my British ears, most of my compatriots who make no provision whatsoever for any disruption in their grocery shopping are as mad as hatters. You don't need a cellar full of tin goods to last months, but if you couldn't go a week without going to the shops at any given moment, then you are a fool of a Took.

No, I pay into a pension fund run by my employer (well, actually, I work in the UK higher education, so it's a joint fund for UK universities but you get the drift). My employer pays in too. Should my employer go bust tomorrow, the pension fund is protected and the pension is safe.

They made an offering their advertising there was consideration (I handed over money) and there was exceptance (they took the money). Consequently we have a legally binding contract.

Been on mine since 1993 these newbies.

Why don't they add something actually useful like a compose key.

Depends. I live in Scotland. I would like to be able to drive 200+ miles into the Highlands, park up for walking and wild camping overnight does some more walking and return home Sunday evening. There are no options for charging in this usage scenario. You need 500 miles range

I don't know where you live, but where I live, putting things in a bag in the recycling is expressly not allowed. As such the AI scanning can simply mark up anything in a bag in the recycling as improper recycling. and issue warning to the resident.

Frankly repeat offending should be followed with a fine,

Neither the USA or Israel is a signatory to the ICC, therefore the ICC has no jurisdiction in the case and they are being sanctioned by the USA for what they see as judicial overreach. The claim that the "Palestinans" are signatories is a reach given they are not a recognized state.

It is not so much that Bibi should be immune from criminal charges but that the USA has from both sides of the aisle, had long standing issues with the ICC and overreach.

Apart from the CPU requirements. I can buy a brand new laptop with Windows 11 that is *LESS* performant than my original Surface Book model with Core i7 CPU with GPU base which is unsupported entirely due to the age of the CPU, not because it doesn't support instructions that Microsoft want to use in Windows 11.
