The water quantity seems short to me even for the 5-6 hour plan. I know I take more than that myself for similar duration. Very much a this will be fun let’s just do it scenario.

Real lesson is to get the actual trail maps and learn how to read them.

Of course - can still go wrong - in Boy Scouts in the mid 90s one of our leaders planned a hike. Somehow read an 8.5 mile hike that was actually 14 miles. Started seeming odd when we were nowhere our planned lunch spot at the point we needed the meal. Other leader double checked him and realized he fucked up. No sat phone or anything, so the parents at the far end got quite concerned when our planned pickup time came and went. Over 3 1/2 hours later we showed up. At least we had water purification stuff to make some extra water for ourselves.

I guess the management there decided to go for the actual implementation of the catchphrase.
Sheesh.

Yup. This didn't require the user being logged on an admin account from what I can tell. It showed up on my work laptop where my account did not have elevated permissions at the time.

I think they both have about the same emotional range. The new one may have higher standards though.....

Basically just working to butter up the suckers...I mean investors....to make sure they will pay too much for the stock when the IPO drops.

He's proposing 10000 launches a year - that's 27-28 a day. No way that is realistic - and we all know it. He's trying to back up his one million satellite constellation - which someone reminded him means launching 200,000 satellites a year at least assuming a five year hardware obsolescence - because we're talking compute power here - it goes obsolete in that time or less, so it's not just getting to the number he thinks - it's keeping that number up - and keeping that number up with current hardware, which is not usually what is flown in space due to radiation challenges.

Just be an operating system. Focus on being better than that.
Stop mining data.
Stop trying to force people to connect to various services.
Just let users run the software they choose to run and stay out of their way.

I mean, Apple didn't have their own on par, and as others have said, at least it's not Nazi-Grok.

If the data is getting used by google though - someone's gonna be firing off an anti-trust lawsuit against Google over it - they'd have nearly all of the smartphone AI going their way in a lot of markets.

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).
