Why should you need insurance on something that should be covered under the manufacturer warranty?

Almost all jobs have gotten rid of sick days and have you use PTO. The US labor laws suck.

My FIL is coming here soon and Qatar airlines DOH->IAH leg flies right over Ukraine normally https://flightaware.com/live/flight/id/QTR713-1647752880-sch... . The recent flights show they have adjusted to

So I am in this situation right now. My Father in law is flying here (Houston) from the Philippines, and one of the cheapest flights is with Qatar, which connects in Doha. The Doha to IAH flight happens to fly directly over Ukraine, however

This. I honestly think the FCC will have to mandate it's adoption and give a hard date for the termination of IPv4 for it to work. Both will need to occur.

Both AT&T and Comcast do this with IPv4 as well.

by wu_187 5y ago
I've worked in the cloud hosting industry for a decade and a half. The entire time, we were warned about the IPv4 shortage and how we needed to switch to IPv6 soon(tm). Well, things haven't changed. Everyone is dragging their feet

It's way cheaper to retire back in the home country after you've made your money in the states. A side benefit is that you can rent out the property before retirement which nets you a small income and keeps the property maintained

I have a different perspective. Having gas during freeze in Houston allowed us to boil water while the power is out. It not only allowed us to have warm water for taking a bath it also allowed us to boil the water to make it potable as the

The lawsuit is not rediculous. These are marketed as being games of skill, which means there's always the ability to win on every turn. This is obviously false and people lose tons of money on this thinking it's fair.

Exactly. We'd get customers thats sites would drown in bot traffic because they pulled the same shit, changing user agents, different ips, etc. I had to build custom mod security rules to block the patterns these boys would pull. What&

I forget which mac's we had in high school, but ours would always crash in CAD class with a loud "quack". They crashed so much we would all mock the sound throughout class.

amd64 isn't going away any time soon. Intel is still the largest player here. If I were Intel right now, I'd be trying to come up with the next iteration of x86, probably 256 bit.

APUs have come a long way since the initial ones. AMDs own are now actually decent in 1080p gaming. I built my wife a gaming pc and didn't buy a dedicated gpu, just an AMD APU and can play CS GO maxed out at decent fps.

it's true though. They are a publicly traded company with over 100B in office assets. If they can't get people back into the offices, they would not be able to justify they cost of keeping said property and would have to sell it t

Sadly that culture changed long ago. Even prior to covid a lot of companies were downscaling their perks as they offshored jobs to Asia, thanks to our previous administration.

This is why we need unions. Do employees get to sue Alphabet if they get covid from the office?

What nobody is saying is that covid is not going away. This is highly irresponsible of Google given they have all the research in the world showing that. They already have the ideal situation set up to mitigate the risk of getting and sprea

This is the true answer. A lot of people have moved into far away (cheaper) bedroom communities to save money. Also Google themselves would have a huge issue justifying their own real estate if people aren't in it "post covid&quot

it's pretty clear what's going on when HR is involved with a technical issue. We should drop AWS and move to another provider. Hit them where it really hurts.

All the new TLDs have what's called "premium" domains. These encompass the one word and short domain names, which they will sell for MUCH higher. When they are flagged as premium on the back end, most registrars do a piss poo

I am fairly certain that Facebook owns any content you post on Instagram, so not illegal.

Ditto. They dry my hands much faster than the Dyson and I don't have to touch a germ infested surface.

You hit the nail on the head. Once (legally) viable, I guarantee a large portion of our public sector infrastructure maintenance will be outsourced to the lowest bidder in the guise of saving tax money. All without any due diligence as to t

I talked to a recruiter for a three letter company, and they told me that they actively search for keywords on people's resumes and the applications that most apply to the role. This would in fact be considered filtering. Now I don&#x

That won't work as the same bad actors typically dabble in CC fraud as well. They will typically already have thousands of CC numbers at their disposal.

My guess is DRM. Less data in the buffer means if someone is trying to rip a stream they won't be able to speed up the process by dumping the buffer.
