I've been on my soapbox at work preaching why Cloud Computing is not ideal. There are several issues including Security and Data Sovereignty. Have any of you been on the Dark Web lately ? I mean really browse it with the latest Onion Directory ? The keys to the kingdom are there for Akamia, CloudStrike, AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, and more. If you don't believe me then install Thor, get on GitHub and download the latest Onion Directory. I did it because I was writing a book to publish on Amazon. I'm a Sr. Systems Engineer that's been laid off. I was going to write a book "Dark Web for Dummies". Well once I started to poke around looking at all the code available to sell to script kiddies I stumbled upon other darker stuff and decided my book should not be written, even though I could use the income. Most of us who know how to use the Thor browser here use it for research regarding how to protect against the latest hacks in the wild. It's not called dark for nothing. I don't understand why it's not shutdown. Anyway if you value your data, systems performance, and data security, don't host your infrastructure in a Cloud Based service, period.

$1.4T, really ? This is getting out of control! I'd rather see those funds go to Thorium Molten Salt reactor research. AI is just going to make humanity stupid and dependent on it. It's time to write a WORM to take out AI. Also building a high output EMP won't hurt either. All the power that AI consumes.. the energy is better off going to residential use. You don't want AI, trust me.

You are confused. We are talking about the CEO of Infosys. He's a greedy little slave driving bitch. InfoSys does not pay well either. His employees should bail. Trump owns lots of golf courses world wide. If we didn't have time off we couldn't golf. We all value work/life balance. So does Musk. Musk's it was a matter of no more work from home, we need you on site. I agree with that. There's only so much you can do at home. There's better collaboration on site. We don't live to work. we work to live. My value personally is based on my family and friend relationships. I'm proud of the men my sons have become. My wife is awesome and we've been together a long time. This is what's important to me. And we all voted for Trump... well maybe not my oldest son but we don't hold that against him because all politicians suck. We just voted for what we believe was the lesser of the two evils.

If there's someone who needs to contract a nasty disease it's the CEO of InfoSys. That will teach him what he needs to know about work/life balance. It's would be like Scrooge... If this is how the dude lives his life then he won't have anyone visiting him at the hospital. What a jerk. I value time with my wife and family, friends, going on road trips, flying model aircraft. We don't live to work. We work to live. That means .. life/work balance.

The Cloud is not a save place to host your business. Do yourself a favor. I know the Dark Web is a nasty place but if you value security and want to know what the script kiddies have at their disposal you should install TOR and download the latest Onion Directory from GitHub. Do your own research. Once you are done you will want to shore up your company's private date center using the old school multi firewall and layer 3 switch approach.

Bummer.. I have been using the "You've got mail" soundbyte as a mail notification forever. I still use it. I alternate between "You've got mail" and the Austin Powers Shagphone ringtone.

Why didn't the AI app output: SVG does not need resizing, dumbass! I swear everyone that earns a decent living because they have skills is going to be laid off so companies can hire a stupid dumb ass for cheap.

This company will be in for a world of hurt. The EFF has an open and shut case.

It's sad but the patient that received a genetically modified pig heart only lived for two months. The kidney is a vital organ. I really don't think he will survive longer than two months. If rejection doesn't kill him then maybe he can go on dialysis again. I hope they are successful this time. This patient certainly is brave.

They can't do that because there are roads where no radio signal is available. Have you driven in the mountains ? That's where I prefer to drive because my phone does not work there.

If you want the Radio to work you take the infotainment system out, cut the etch between the antenna and data modem. That's what I did. Car is no longer trackable with telemetrics. Nissan contacted us several times. I told them I do not want my car connected.

My 2016 Wrangler does not have connected "Tech'. I plan on keeping it that way. I've got the Alpine sound system and my music streams from an old iPod Touch. If I get an additional vehicle it will be something that's not connected. I disconnected my wife's 2022 Nissan Kicks Sr. Nissan Infotainment systems contain the telemetrics. I took a razor and cut the etch between the antenna and the data modem. Radio and Sirius XM still work fine. No Telemetrics. I did this because initially I canceled Nissan Connect the first week I bought the car for the Mrs. and when we took the vehicle in for it's initial Nissan inspection, telemetrics worked and no need for a ODBII cable. After that I resorted to cutting an etch. The vehicle is no longer capable of sending telemetrics and I was contacted by Nissan and asked to bring the car in to update the electronics, something is wrong. I replied that I disabled the telemetrics and do not want it enabled. So far it's been a few years, no problem.

I really don't like adds popping up in my face. Prime Video disabled DTS Surround Sound.. it's now a pay for premium feature. So I dropped Prime. Now I will only buy standard TVs with 3 HDMI ports. No more smart tvs. Pieces of crap. YouTube sends way too many adds and PiHole does not work with FireTV. I even forced the TV to use my PiHole for DNS. Nope. It only worked for the first year I owned the TV. Ater an OS update.. bang.. Pihole no longer blocks ads. Bought it during a black Friday sale. It may be a 48" flat panel but it's Amazon made it a piece of crap! TV boots with ads in the face. Older firmware let you set the TV to default to a port so I had it default to the cable box. Not any more. It defaults to the Main Home page with the bif ads in your face. I'm tempted to just rub my feet on the rug, build up a static charge and touch the TV ... I want it to blow up. I'm so done with it. Smart TVs suck

Terrestrial guidance has been around for a long time. Our high end weapons do not depend on GPS. They use a combination of inertial and terrestrial guidance systems. What is posted here is a 2D terrestrial map guidance system. Some Cruise Missiles use 3D terrestrial guidance systems which use a combination of radar and optical sensors and when "blinded" fall back on inertial guidance. I don't know how they pulled this off with a sub $500.00 drone. You would need multiple computers. First the flight controller, preferably a Pixhawk. For map guidance I would use a NVidia Nano. It's still going to consume power. The airframe that will have enough lift to carry a large enough battery, the Nvidia Nano, Pixhawk, and servos would cost more than $500.00 to build, even if you are 3D printing it. Here's the airframe I am going to use on my next Pixhawk build: https://www.legendhobby.com/pr... It can carry two 5000ma 6s batteries.. enough for a 45 minute flight time. I am planning on 3d printing a camera dome. The team that pulled this off would need multiple maps of the same area projected for multiple elevations. The terrestrial navigation program would use the map that is closest to the elevation the aircraft is at. The Nvidia would need to make trace images of each camera shot in realtime. Whatever computer that will be selected is going to consume a lot of power. I do not believe they pulled this off with a budget under $500.00 I used google maps to my r/c setup. I was able toget the GPS location of my r/c aircraft and display the location of my airplane on the display of my radio. similar to this: https://github.com/Tonnie78/Lu...

The Diabetes industry is so corrupt. I have type 2. I can better manage my glucose with intermittent fasting rather than taking Metformin and Glyburide every day. CGM sensors are expensive, even with insurance. I pay $79.00 for a 2 sensors that would last me 28 days. And that is with insurance. I tried a Chinese glucose watch and I calibrated it to a test with a test strip. The problem with the Chinese watch is it does not stay calibrated. If the glucose stays within a range of +-60mg/dl it's ok. If the you wake up at 200mg/dl, calibrate it for that.. If you spike to 260mg/dl or drop to 140mg/dl it will be off and you will need to recalibrate. I think if there was an OpenSource blood glucose monitoring watch I would be able to get it working. The FDA thinks end users are dumb. If I buy a glucose watch I would wear my CGM and test with blood strips for a month to be sure the watch is at least 10% within the reading from the CGM and blood strip test. The holy grail is an optical blood glucose sensor. Companies like Abbot are threatened since no one would need to purchase the overpriced Libre CGM . I may do intermittent fasting but I do monitor my glucose every day. 150mg/dl on no meds is way better than 100mg/dl on meds.
