That's more important than it seems. Easier to forget, too.

A lot of people might say "latency" or "security": both are valid points but...

What about the Data? on a native app I usually can SAVE data wherever I want on my device.

I can even save it or load it from external storage like... a usb thumbdrive.

And if my connection goes down I sill can use it (unless I have a license/activation software that needs to be connected to the internet).

I have the same feeling, but after reading this report I believe big hyperscalers will survive the bubble when it pops.

Now I've got the feeling they don't have huge amounts of GPUs sitting in their DCs, but rented for Opex. In case the bubble pops they might get it at discount as CapEx (like Amazon did with dark fiber after the dotcom bubble).

Several european countries will be governed by fascist parties, fueled by social media. There will be no EUexit because they will discover how to use the EU to approve legislation that won't be popular.

Tourism in Mediterranean zone will plummet: it will be just too hot for tourist to enjoy during summer.

Food prices will soar everywhere because climate change will make harder and more expensive to produce vegetables.

Be careful about the culture. Higher management had a massive panic because "AI stopped working" in a product we make. They started an all-hands meeting. Everything worked except the AI responses. Turns out we just ran out of credits. The bad part is we told everybody we would run out of credits in less that 3 days. Nobody cared until we had production outage. Now procurement is complaining about token usage.

Before reading the article I was surprised to find them similar to old german Sout backpacks. They are really sturdy and durable: your kid needs just one of them for all primary school (grundschule). They are explensive (not so much considering 3-6 years of continuous abuse by kids), but when the kid gets tired of it, some people put them on sale. I have one that I know was resold at least 2 times and it still in perfect shape... Great for airport travel, btw.

Right now it is impossible to order cost-optimized servers in Falkstein, Nuremberg, or Helsinki. No matter if it is x86 or ARM.

Looks like they had to buy _a lot_ of new servers and it was very expensive.

It was a great opportunity to name a unix tool "mcfly" or just "Marty" for time manipulation. Better luck next time, I guess.

Reminder: always travel with a spare phone with a broken screen just in case.

Keeping your sanity in tech is underrated.

This reminds me of Nortel Command Console back in 2000-2005!

I worked for a telco company that had a lot of Nortel Passport devices (does anyone know what Frame Relay is?). We started changing the network from Nortel to Cisco. Cisco used telnet (later SSH), but Nortel people were extremelly reluctant to switch.

Turns out the Nortel network managment system (nortel nms) had a very interesting feature: you could open the command console to connect to one of the passport devices... or you could connect to a device group (or all the network) and run the same command in all devices.

This was great for auditing which version had every single device in the network... or for changing access-lists globally.

I wonder what's the output of running 'hinv' on Irix.

I need to recover my old Irix CDs and find out.

Probably the police wants to gather some evidence. The easiest way to block a wifi tap is to change the wifi password... or wifi name. Both things will be noticed by the eavesdropper because they will block the device *but* it is an easy way to block it asap.

What I would do:

1 - Get an old android phone. 2 - Configure the phone to act as an access point with the same wifi name and password. 3 - Change the wifi password or name in the router. 4 - Change wifi passwords in laptop, etc... (I know, it is a pain). 4 - Activate the phone access point. 5 - * IF * the listening device connects to the phone AP wifi, you know there's a wifi tap. You can connect the phone to your home wifi later... and it will look transparent to the stalker.

Best of luck with this situation.
