Funny you should mention that... "older" backend systems.... like IBM z/OS which is still being maintained and releases are still coming out and what runs DLs reservations and operations backends. I didn't hear about an RES or OSS outage.... it was just the windows terminals on the front line that took a shit.

They've been doing it for quite some time now...

it comes to support costs. It's cheaper to support a Windows program than it is Linux when you are talking about hardware compatibility. If you are large enough and are vertically integrated enough to do both (MICROS/PDQ/HungerRush) then the savings might be more significant.

In the Mom & Pop SMB scene, there is a reason why most POS vendors are primarily targeting iOS. One hardware vendor, one software platform to program for support.

it is when the FAA denied your exemption request and you still went along with it.

I hope the soon ex-pilots are going to enjoy the FAA on their ass.

Frigging do it! I'd love to watch the stock plummet after they lose a whole continent,

I'd rather see them force anyone with last-mile infrastructure require them to wholesale access out to other carriers, kind of what happened in 1996 with the telecommunications act.

Then it will just be a $20 discount and they will have to put an asterisk on there advertising.

They're working on it. They just started implementing stir/shaken on the voice call network. The unfortunate thing is is that it'll go from spoofed phone numbers to hacked machines.

Back in the day it never was a problem. You only had four or five companies (per country) that controlled all the transmitted caller ID data. For those few edge cases where the customer had the power to do it, they were large enough where it wouldn't be hard to track it back. Now that there are however million phone companies and each have the ability to inject into the network a unique CID, tracing is an issue.

That's what STIR/SHAKEN does by nature. It authenticates the CID. Your provider has not started blocking failed authentication. What will happen is a rise of proper CID,using hacked boxes or foreign people using stolen cc#s with wholesale providers.

but where are the original stats coming from? How were they watching beforehand? It's easy to make up stats to fit your narrative.

the cameras will give you the "why" for the event. the gps just says that it happened.
I agree with you that the micromanagement is BS and the "AI" part of it is what kills the whole idea. IF the camera were to just trigger on an event, such as hard braking, I'd be less pissed off about these types of cameras, but when it has to make a decision on what happened -- nah.

it's up to amazon to decide how they are going to appeal it. the camera uploads +15/-15 seconds after the event. we have just gotten the same style (not brand) cameras at another major overnight package company.

this or to sow discontent in vaccines in general.... put that little nugget of information "If the Pfizer vac causes a 3x death rate increase, I wonder what else the MSM is hiding in regards to Moderna or AZ or J&J."...

they are NOT like Etsy or eBay. Neither of those take possession of the item, warehouse it in geographically diverse warehouses and then sell it on their website "Fulfilled by eBay/Etsy".

That's why Walmart, Newegg, eBay, Etsy, etc aren't listed -- they don't warehouse it. They are just the marketplace for people to list it and have the seller tools to facilitate easier transactions. Once Amazon put it in their warehouse, it became a whole new ballgame.
