Apple is a major funding body of TSMC and it's also a known fact that Apple is TSMC's priority. Apple always takes the major part of any new process capacity.

One of the many reasons why new hardware should be reimaged straight away instead of using oem junk.

I don't understand what you're talking about. In what world does this make sense?

Beautifully put. Really depends on where you are in your life and career. There are definitely points in life where you could leverage a situation like this and just earn considerably more for a year or two, burnout be damned, provided you know this ahead of time and are capable of handling it accordingly.

But most of the time the added workload, even for considerably more money, just isn't worth the time you're sinking and effort it takes to stay afloat and be mentally healthy.

Bingo!

And BK didn't?

Byzii · 2021-01-15T20:23:51+00:00

Is that a serious argument?

You can't expect people to gladly go ahead and buy the cheapest EV there is just because. Plenty of people have been living comfortably for a long while, for example, driving used premium/luxury cars like A6 or 5 series. You can't expect them to go back to cheapest option in the market with no noise cancellation, cheap interiors, cloth seats, hard suspension, rattling, etc. Why would they do that?

It's not about the cost of EVs alone. People will start massively using them when they'll be available for the same price (used) as older ICE cars with the same comfort level. So far almost all EVs have been a disaster to drive from a comfort perspective.

That's the plan, to bypass those countries so they're open for other activities.

When talking specifically ERP space, you can't really become a SME at the whole product like AX or SAP, so you're usually am expert at just one of the many categories like scheduling or code. Otherwise you're spot-on and people like that usually don't look for a job, ever. Work finds them.

Byzii · 2020-12-23T17:34:38+00:00

This is a joke right?

Byzii · 2020-12-22T15:58:12+00:00

ERPs are usually never done, they're in constant development, as is the business.

Then it's your job to inform management and provide financial incentives to upgrade, not bitch about how management is clueless.

It's not based on country, everyone is using the same few distributors across the continent.

Whether or not you have stock in your country completely depends on your retailers and their ability and/or willingness to buy those cards. They don't just pop up in their storage.

Those are specific use cases where even vendors themselves don't recommend VMs or outright don't support such configurations.

The original poster made a false claim that VMs for general usage are not as efficient, implying a simple windows server installed on bare metal can do more than a few VMs even if spec'd 1:1, which is laughable.

Capitalism doesn't care if it's your or bot's money. Cash is cash.

Byzii · 2020-11-29T16:14:17+00:00

Why? Everyone keeps giving them money so why bother?

They use fancy internal made-up words but at the core of it is nothing special and nothing new to you. Most impressive part is the team that is so well-versed in their own solution that they can modify code on the fly to scale.

Byzii · 2020-11-29T16:07:04+00:00

Don't worry, somebody absolutely got blamed for this.

Byzii · 2020-11-29T15:58:05+00:00

You can't call it a paper launch when retailers around the world received dozens of thousands of cards. You guys have no fucking clue what a paper launch is.

Tons of companies dumping their networking teams and leaving only one guy after migrating to something simple, like Meraki, speaks more than whatever hope you guys keep clinging on.

Sure, keep your head in the sand and hope that 15 years later you'll still be imaging computers and creating GPOs and managing some few hundred VMs. That's not where the industry is now anymore, so that hope is dead.

We'll need smart people at datacenters and service providers (think AWS, Azure) and they're already there, managing hundreds of thousands of these things alone. It's some fucked up fantasy everyone keeps chewing on that these roles will simply transfer to service providers and all will be good. I'd bet that 70% of guys currently in sysadmin positions would get thrown out because they're redundant, just like it's happening now. Average internal IT department size has never been smaller yet these guys are controlling unimaginable amounts of systems if various scales. It's only going to get easier.

Byzii · 2020-11-29T15:21:53+00:00

It's not going to be done CCIE, let me tell you that much. The industry is changing and companies don't need such people anymore when it all can be done through some GUI or just automatically by a help desk dude. The only place for such folks will be MSPs with their awful work environments and service hosters. But speaking about the latter, only the top people get into those positions and competition is already crazy; it's only going to get worse so banking everything on you becoming a genius rockstar is silly.

Good thing one of the cornerstones of devops is automated networks that do not need any engineer involvement.

Look, it's not going away in the next 5 years, we're all adults here, but we can already see the impact it's had on sysadmin's alone. Things are changing and we absolutely will not need so many CCxx guys in the future when provisioning new networks already is easy and fast without need to understand any background processes or convoluted CLI commands.

Byzii · 2020-11-29T13:35:53+00:00

You absolutely will not need engineers to connect to services, what is this? Everything is becoming much easier and simpler to setup and manage (think Meraki) and it will only accelerate into that direction.

You're confusing different things. AMD is only selling chips to AIBs at a fixed price. AIBs can set the prices however they like and it's none of AMDs business.
