If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization

Thatâ(TM)s what Iâ(TM)d want, West Virginia legislators making up computer curriculum.

So glad I cut over to Mac back in â07. Mac Office 2021 is offline, so until it becomes inoperative with some future Apple silicon I can ignore what goes on inside the circus tent. Mac Numbers works ok for simple stuff but I have years of analytics built around pivot tables . Bummer they only run on my Macbook because those workbooks with pivot tables wonâ(TM)t even open on iOS Excel app.

We still have iPhone 12 Minis. Max battery capacity on both is down in the high seventies. We will probably upgrade to the next new model. Thing is we will miss these little one. Never been phans of phablets

No duh. Iâ(TM)m so old I remember when IBM rolled out VTAM. The session at SHARE was sub-titled âoe Investment in reliable will increase until somebody insists on getting some useful work done.â I donâ(TM)t think TCP-IP had reached commercial use and certainly wasnâ(TM)t implemented in SNA.

Yes they are. And also making the grid way more fragile, at least here in GA

The autonomous vehicle will just pull up my driveway, not bring the goodies to my front door. Hardly and upgrade from my perspective

The whole LLM ecosphere is fueled by theft. The legal and legislative system is and has largely been impotent for decades. Robot.txt was only ever a gentlemanâ(TM)s agreement, while the innertubes have alway been the Wild Wild West.

I just got an email 2 days ago that my Skype credit ($3.21) would expire in 10 days. I have got these regularly over the years when I hadnâ(TM)t used Skype for a while. Used to save quite a few dollars on calls home from overseas back in the day. Câ(TM)est la vie, say the old folks ðYZ

Or we will all be doomscrolling in the dark.

Rockwell built the shuttle. Rocketdyne built the engines. Boeing modified a couple 747s to ferry shuttles about and facilitate early unpowered drop tests, which is hardly relevant to starliner tech

Please excuse the typos and grammar errors, of course I was typing on my iPad which is an inexact process

This stuff (macOS & iOS) has gotten out of control. I seriously doubt anyone there know how this crap works anymore. There are some many layers of overlapping function that reboot 3 times and call me in the morning is a very standard support response. In preparation form a multi-week trip I just spent all afternoon trying to backup my ipad and iPhone, load the pictures to photos, and install the latest iOS update (only one level behind). I had to reboot everything at least couple times, move usb cables from ports they worked fine in a month ago. Finally got all done, but it just shouldnâ(TM)t be this weird. Well, this thread caught me at just the moment of frustration and Iâ(TM)ve vented but I donâ(TM)t feel any better.

At one time owning and caring for 9 dishwashers, I found the water inlet fitting would always change in each replacement machine. Even if two were in the same years. Weird.

Was there some doubt?
