Yeah, everyone knows it won't be the same if you don't read your Shakespeare in the original Klingon.

I mean, yes, have a bunch of long time users still paying - out of fear they'll lose their e-mail account if they don't. Unless they can market the name long term though, that revenue will dry up sooner than they may like.

Sorry, I've moved beyond definitions of specific numbers of bits.
I'll just use however many bits the vibes tell me to.

I mean, it's a prediction, but it's realistic too. When everything gets more expensive you look to cut costs.

We're in the process of dumping it - will be off it in six months or so.
We're in the process of dumping Oracle (fuck off for wanting to bill us for processing power we're not using for your SW) for the same kind of reason.
We have folks convinced to dump these expensive options when there are cheaper (and when possible mature Open Source) options for things.
They make it expensive enough that it's worth the cost of migrating - then it's time to migrate. Simple as that.

We're going to have the biggest number of everything related to Oil and Gas!

I mean - walking dogs. Takes person to actually walk them. How much value is any of the other overhead really adding. Just another bullshit business to pocket half the profits and underpay the actual worker.

Sadly, Meta believe you opted in because it was buried somewhere deep in that TOS that you were told you accept simply by using the service.

Unless and until congress is willing to pass a law that requires more explicit and clear opt in and acceptance, this is just going to continue. Congress gets paid too much by Meta to even thing about that.

Yes....let's game like it's 1999 (ok, was released in 1998, but I didn't play it until 1999).

They also produce the political lobbying that prevents more pressure for those consumers to find and use alternatives to their products, so they're note free of responsibility either.

The large companies/conglomerates that pump out and deliver hydrocarbons end up being the source of the largest quantity of hydrocarbon byproduct.
Just shocking I tell you!

I was just so sure it'd be some nuclear plants or something.....

Of course, if their consumers were motivated not to that'd help - but that pressure is being released right now it seems.

Uh....only scuba diving depth pal.

He needs some friends to just give him an intervention at this point. Slim odds of it both being found and being recoverable. Just throwing money at it and/or raking up debt that he'll never be able to repay if he goes down this route is not the way to go - and only someone he really trusts has a chance at getting that message to him at this point.

Well now you've ruined my day. If I can't run FS2024 on it what's the point......

The iOS SOC in that adapter probably has more capability than the whole desktops that ran it initially, so sure why not.

We moved off when they came for money a number of years ago now. OpenJDK has worked just fine.
Same for Database - they want you to pay for every processor in your VPC - even if Oracle will only ever use a fraction of that.
Buh Bye.
