One of my biggest complaints with laptops is the heat and that I always end up putting like a book underneath so that my lap isn't in directly contact with the heat. If apple intended to keep the outer shell cooler, I will any day take

Yes it is a community project but VMware engineers play a big part in maintaining as it is foundational to the kubernetes product that VMware sells. Open source does not mean it runs by itself.

Multi billion dollar businesses. Just look at AWS EKS.

I am empathetic to both sides and strongly believe in second chances. With the amount of push back this person is getting, the chances of him being successful in their role is slim to none, if I were them I would decline the offer at this p

They do have a way of creating distractions to bury the stories that they don't like. The Cyberwhistle was launched just around the time of the whistle blower stories that were coming out. Kind of smart and I did not realize the connec

I did not buy my car from the dealership lot. They had to put in an order and I waited 3 months for it to be finally available for me to pick up. I could track everything happening with the car. The car was sitting in the container port for

My agent was traditional and would get a standard 2.5% commission if I went through with the purchase.

The seller agent was a Zillow employee since the home is owned by Zillow. My agent was not a Zillow employee.

We recently went through buying a Zillow owned house in Phoenix AZ and response and attitude from the selling agent and zillow was pathetic. They took 3 full days to send the signed contract after they told us we our offer was accepted. Cou

If the earthquake was so big then coming up with the cash needed for the deductible would be at the bottom of my list. Instead I would try to find an alternative place to live for 6-12 months. If there was an insurance that covers living an

I live in CA and often considered getting earthquake insurance but the premium and deductible are bonkers that it almost never makes sense to me. A $2500 premium for 20% deductible on everything separately(construction, personal belongings,

I cancelled via chat 2 weeks ago. Was just asked 1 question by the bot which then forwarded the transcript to a live agent who then went ahead and cancelled without further questions. Maybe they updated their policy recently?
