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.

No VSphere Essentials very specifically said that it was *not* for production workloads in the licensing terms. I would not be surprised if people abused that but that is different from it being allowed.

Further on VSphere Essentials 6.x and 7.x was limited to a maximum of two 16 core processors (you could turn on hyperthreading as well) per server. With Vsphere Essentials 8.x that was lifted to two 32 core processors.

The problem with the Broadcom strategy is that there is no easy on ramp. Even if I am a big player where do I hire admins with VSphere experience in 10 years time. It will be like running a IBM mainframe I will have to hire someone with no experience and train them. That is not a good long term strategy in IT.

Personally if I think cutting VSphere Essentials was the right move, but I would have left VSphere Essentials Plus, hiked the price but thrown in say 100GB per core of VSan. If I am not spending $$$ on storage arrays then the price hike would be acceptable. As is we are reluctantly off to Proxmox later this year before our VSphere Essentials Plus is end of maintenance.

We looked at Azure Local but the pricing is just as bad as VSphere.

There was an Essentials Pro version that *WAS* designed for production use, which they discontinued in November of last year. It was similar to Essentials put included vMotion and some other stuff.

You can't retrospectively change a license in the UK. Therefore, anything installed or, for that matter, downloaded before Oracle changed the licensing terms in April 2019 is immune to their bullying. US laws don't apply in the UK.

As regards the different departments, you, as your IT admin for your department, get a stringent mandate (been there working in a UK University as an IT admin) to report on all your Java usage and remove anything before April 2019 and switch to something else if you really must continue to use Java.

This would not just be a Java thing; we have had similar mandates about VirtualBox and OracleDB, though we never used the latter in the first place. Some of the central "corporate" databases are still using Oracle, I believe, though I understand exit roots are planned, may even have been implemented by now.

Are you telling me that those 400Gbps DAC cables I have just purchased won't work because they are copper?

I would note that no products have ever been offered for sale that support 40GBase-T and given 40Gbps Ethernet is a dead end nothing ever will.

I would be surprised if anything is ever offered in 25GBase-T either as it suffers from distance limitations too. It's all DAC or optics in the data centre so there is nothing to jumpstart the market. It's a bit like 10GBase-T. I have hundreds of 10Gbps ports but they are all SFP and not a single 10GBase-T to be seen or is there ever likely to be because I would have nothing to plug it into.

The problem with football fields is, which type are you talking about? Is that Association Football fields, Rugby Football fields, American Football fields or Australian Rules Football fields?

It is a result of the hinting mechanism of TrueType fonts. Essentially, if you request Times New Roman in 12pt, the hinting mechanism adjusts the size of the letters to ensure they fit better within the pixel grid of the output device. So if you switch from a 300dpi laser to a 360dpi inkjet, then the length of your sentence in millimetres on the two different output devices is different. This causes all the paragraphs to be rewrapped, which changes the document's layout.

It's a long time since I last used Word where I moved a document between two computers with a different output device so Microsoft might well have fixed this "feature" in the interim. However historically, this was the problem.

HPV causes more than just Cervical cancer in women. To the point in the UK we are giving 12-year-old boys the HPV vaccine too, as NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) concluded that it was cost-effective to do so due to it reducing a number of other cancers.

We have already seen deaths from complications due to vaping in the UK. So it is probably less dangerous that smoking but it is absolutely not risk free.

All those are medical revolutions you twerp.

Well taking the UK as an example the survival rates for cancer are on average better. In fact all health outcomes are better on average. If you are in the top 5% of wealth in the USA then your do better than the average in the UK, but still worse than the top 5% of wealth in the UK. However you can't have single payer healthcare in the USA because it is "communist"

Here is the problem: for the vaccine to be effective, you have to give it *before* they are sexually active. So, what age are you proposing giving it to then? I would at this juncture note that under "Romeo and Juliet" laws nine states in the USA have a legal age of consent of 13, and ten states have an age of consent of 14, and in three states it is 15.

When I was growing up 12 was the age that the girls got the Rubella vaccine to prevent birth defects from German Measles in any children they had. Nobody was crowing that it promoted promiscuity in girls or any other such rubbish.

A study from last year from Scotland showed that in the cohort of girls given the vaccine aged 12-13 there have been *zero* cases of Cervical cancer. With many of these now women in the 25-35 year age range where Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women.

Basically the problem is morons like yourself not understanding the science.

Because 0 lead, arsenic, and mercury is basically impossible to achieve, you are saying not one atom of the above is allowed to be present. I will always be able to detect any really low level of anything.

It's a bit like coal power stations release more Uranium-235 every year than the Chernobyl disaster. Even if it is only one part per billion in coal, given that we burn ~8 billion tonnes of it a year, that is one tonne going into the atmosphere every year.
