Physical hardware products shouldn't lose features after launch. If this was a "mistaken" feature which they suggested it was they should have disabled it on future chips.

"consumers don’t shop based on the endurance metrics even if they should" Its been well over a decade now and neither I nor anyone I know has ever had an SSD endurance issue. So it seems like the type of problem where you should

They hadn't bothered to add ipv6 support to most of their services and the ones that did have it usually were only dual stack - still requiring an ipv4 address.

Wickard V Filburn is simply bad law... The federal government has way too much power and MUCH more than was ever intended. Its not a feature it is indeed a bug. One caused by the Supreme Court.

Excel needed the x87 as well as they cared about maintaining the 80-bit precision in some places to get exactly the same recalc results. So they would have fixed it eventually most likely.

Ah but see the most important piece of information is not what the manufacturer specifies. Most mechanic friends would tell you manufacturers are over-extending the interval to make their cars look good to purchasers and because they only

Ask a mechanic friend how often to do an oil change and they will 9 times out of 10 give you an answer without asking what model of car.

You'd still want in transit encryption. There are other methods than centralized trust like fingerprinting to detect forgeries.

At some point it makes sense to just let us use self signed certs. Nobody believes SSL is providing attestation anyways.

The most likely culprit was talking to other nodes via their public IP instead of their local ones. That gets billed as interent traffic (most expensive). The second culprit is your database or other nodes are in different AZs and you get

I wrote Sum Buddy using a variety of AIs. Its a full featured AI spreadsheet. It started in Gemini's web interface and moved over to claude (which was a huge increase in capability). It has a bunch of paying customers now. https:&#

To be fair they had to lift the plane off the bottom of the Hudson river. It was literally under water. I'm not sure what your expecting in that case.

I was a bit surprised by this take, because I never questioned you would get the luggage back if it survived. Having looked into it more I was pleasantly surprised that even in cases where the airplane was severely damaged luggage was retu

Anecdotally I’m starting to see a more people switch to my spreadsheet app. Not something that should be possible if the MS ecosystem was healthy. https://www.sumbuddy.net

It was different where you were but the billG and early Ballmer years devs had a lot of power. Like to the point where PMs had training on "soft power" or more bluntly how to get a dev who doesn't want to do your feature t

AWS is degrading on all fronts. If your a large scale business you almost certainly hit stock-outs during peak periods - the elasticity is a lie. If you are a mid scale its high prices and complexity, and finally if your just a beginner g

I'm working on Sum Buddy an AI spreadsheet. I didn't like the way Microsoft and Google were integrating their AI by essentially tacking on a chatbox and I wanted to explore more native integrations, like its another part of the t

Even if you have that you'll find AWS is "out of stock" and wants you to create reservations that essentially cost the same as just having the machine 24/7.

There is a truth defence to libel in the USA but there is no good faith defence. Think about it like a traffic accident, you may not have intended to drive into the other car but you still caused damage. Just because you meant well doesn&#

The one thing I never understood about these warnings is how they don't run afoul of libel laws. They are directly calling you a scammer and "attacker". The same for Microsoft with their unknown executables. They used to be

A few tips: - Make tasks short and break them into smaller steps. E.g. don't say "Add a UI button, and a handler that does the thing". But first add the button, confirm its showing as expected then move on to a handler, and
