Interesting take on the timezone. I imagine a lot of people have their data there for only residency reasons. Even if it is GMT people still use something like worldtimebuddy to sync up.

Sounds like the ops team had one hell of a day.

“McDonald’s tapped Google Cloud in late 2023 to bring more computing power to each of its restaurants—giving them the ability to process and analyze data on-site. The setup, known as edge computing, can be a faster, cheaper option than sending data to the cloud“

What fresh hell is this?

Because when you are at a rock concert and you want something light to drink, it is cooler to ask the bar tender for Liquid Death rather than a Perrier.

This. They wanted to drill a hole in my place to run a line from the pole. The line would go right past a window. It just seemed unprofessional.

Yeah. I went through a rigorous exercise with sales last year to try to get a good estimate on what it would cost to run the database for a year for our application. They said it would be around 150k.

I threw all of their configuration advice out the window and run all extra small at 1 minute idle. No issues for my use case and we paid 17k for the year.

I have to expect that snow will change their pricing model soon.

Seems like a good way to collect a lot of car data.
