I just bought my first VPS plan after deciding not to renew my shared hosting contract.
Racknerd looked to be the preferred option after Hetzner raised their prices based on reading some of the forums/reddit.
I ended up going with "Server Host" based on ram and price. 4gb ram, 28 dollars for the year, and renews annually for that price (no discount expiring games). They initially provisioned it in the wrong region, I sent a support ticket in, and they fixed it same day. So far, so good.
I found it on lowendbox. It took me a minute to get past the gimmicky stuff. https://lowendbox.com/blog/serverhost-halloween-2026/

If you weren't arguing against the business case, what were you arguing with the C-level types about? I don't think I have ever heard a case for react that wasn't centered around shared codebases mean fewer resources/cost/time to deliver a feature.

Now that's some em-dash passion!
My point was less about em-dashes and more stopping to consider how the vatican's workflow and editorial process has changed in wake of AI, and what, if any, impact that could have on the outputs.
AI is a tool, I have no problems with others using it to assist with writing as long as the original intent/argument remains.

The em-dashes present within the writing made me pause and consider how much of this was written/exited by AI.
Quick browse through pre-AI works from John Paul II show em-dashes present.

It's all or nothing for Gemini Pro.
I can't set a voice reminder on my Pixel without giving full access to my Google workspace (which includes all emails) which is explicitly allowed to be trained on per the terms. There is no per app toggle.
Voice reminders were the only thing assistants did well for years.
We are going backwards.

My mom still has these. In gold. It has outlasted two boilers.

I struggle with the exact same issue in a pickup truck. I think people are driving around with their high beams on without knowing it.
When I learned how to drive, my mom showed me how the headlights turned on and off. If you didn’t turn them off, the car died.
The automation has made light management a very second thought.
My friend didn’t know what the blue high beam icon on the dash was. I blame the automatic light feature.

It can absolutely vary by department. However, the NYPD historically has set trends other departments follow.
From their Patrol Guide, below is what an officer is to do with video before their next tour of duty. My local department adopted this language almost verbatim.
These cameras are not upload and forget it. I'd encourage you to read on some of this as your comment "how would that even work" tells me your jaw is about to be on the floor when you read about the levels of red tape attached to these. To be clear, I'm pro camera and accept these costs of oversight. That doesn't mean the system cannot be improved.
Fun, but sarcastic idea: YouTube is filled with First Amendment Auditors. @AuditTheAudit has 818,495,408 views... let's let departments upload and have would be FA auditor viewers review, and if needed, tag videos for Internal Audit review. The People were going to give their time away anyhow, might as well save some fellow tax payers money... Wait, I take this back. I can see the officers now starting the body cam footage to talk about Better Help and Express VPN... never mind!
NYPD Patrol Guide 212-123: 16. Access the video management system on the Department Intranet or Department smartphone to classify videos based upon the nature of the event. a. Select one category for BWC video retention from the dropdown list in the following priority order: (1) Arrest, (2) Homicide, (3) Summons, (4) Investigative Encounter, and (5) Uncategorized. b. Document the nature of event from dropdown list (e.g., EDP, DV incident, home visit, etc.), (1) If the nature of the event cannot be selected from the dropdown list, enter a description of the event and include the associated ICAD number. c. If related to an arrest, enter the complete arrest number, beginning with the borough letter designation in the appropriate field, and/or d. If related to a Terry Stop/Level 3 Encounter not involving an arrest, enter the Stop Report number in the appropriate field. 17. Categorize all BWC videos by the end of next scheduled tour

When body cameras first rolled out, someone (an actual person) had to review the footage. Officers had to wait for that review to be completed before ending their shift. If I recall correctly, that wait was overtime at first and then policy was modified and it became unpaid time.
I hope that has changed.
