I was hoping the mushroom grew razor blades, but immediately disappointed.

Oh bubbles... their so bubbly. Remember when there was an unlimited demand for fibre optics because - The Internet? So Nortel and other manufacturers lent the money to their clients building the Internet because the growth was unlimited forever? Except they actually didn't have any money, just stock valuations?
"This is a critical step in our effort to unleash the full potential of our high-performance optical component solutions business," said Clarence Chandran, COO of Nortel Networks. "This acquisition really strengthens Nortel Networks' leadership position in high-performance optical components and modules which are essential to delivering the all-optical Internet."

It’s Vista 2! I switched to Mac in 2008, and I just did it again a few days ago.
Reality is that almost everything I do is Linux, but Office with its horrific file formats keep it around. Fortunately Visio is nearly dead, 3 to go.

Everything is moved to Linux, but I still need Windows for the occasional proprietary Office document and tax software, which is available for Mac. I expect Windows 10 malware to be horrific so security risk is unacceptable and I despise Windows 11. I guess I’m buying a MacBook Air.

The next cloud android app is particularly bad if you use it to back up your cameras DCIM directory then you delete the photos on your phone. It overwrite the files on Nextcloud as new photos are taken. I get why this happened but it is terrible.

And, as noted in the article, it still wrongfully states decline Prime and pay for shipping despite shipping already being free if you are willing to wait for delayed shipping.
Since I cancelled Prime, I have saved a fortune in addition to my $100. Not just on Amazon, but period. Super convenient and fast resulted in me buying more, now I am just buying much less stuff, make fewer orders less often. even waiting to go to a store I figure out a way to solve a problem without buying anything, and sometimes to need goes away.
I guess I have Trump to thank for it, never would have cancelled Prime if it wasn't for the US boycott.

Web app is faster, has more features, easier to use. Copilot key is useless, it took me a while to figure out how to get it to open the M365 app, instead of the corporate blocked personal one, and then I used it zero times. Never think to use it and I found it has no practical purpose, except Microsoft marketing.

My work PC has the app, because but like Onedrive and NewOutlook, the Windows app has fewer features, more bugs, and is more difficult to use that the Web app. At this rate Linux with Microsoft Web apps will have superior feature set than their 'Native' Windows apps.

I am surprised they weren’t already killed. Switched to Ecobee after the acquisition. I gave my friend my Nest. A year later there was a software problem, Google was like, it’s old, buy a new one. Glad I ditched it.

I was in Shenzhen, electronics market district. I hear Christmas music. What the hell? I round the corner to see a large stage and seating. There is a large banner in English that says, “Consumption Festival”.

Strange advice to companies that can’t figure out how to deploy AI is to not use BPO when obviously they can’t figure it out themselves. Also, I am looking at a BPO RFP right now for a huge organization and they mostly care about is how the vendor going to leverage AI to reduce their price over the term of the contract.

You are absolutely right, let me fix that.
