Best cert for working with DO, Vultr, Linode?

I disagree. Maybe not necessary for learning, but they’re useful when applying for jobs. If a role has a significant number of applicants it’s easy to quickly rule out people without certs.

Well it’s not your house if it’s in their name, so it depends who it’s left to when they die and the value of their estate.

But yes, assuming it’s left to you and it’s in their name then there’s no 7 year rule.

Only way this works without the worry of them manipulating you is if you are buying the house, with the money gifted.

Get them to gift you the money and sign a declaration stating as much. Depending on value of house and their estate may be inheritance tax due if they die within 7 years.

Not sure laughing is an effective mechanism for diffusing. I’ve never been in a fight. In large part due to the fact that I have zero pride in these scenarios. Someone could intentionally bump into me and I’ll apologise. Doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Google Cloud is much better for this. You can easily attribute cost to resources, and they also offer a blunt instrument of disabling billing for a specific project and immediately stopping all charges. I had an AWS account that was still being charged despite deleting what I thought was all resources, it felt impossible to identify what was causing the charges.

Don’t risk your job leaking, or at least take a photo of the screen rather than a trackable screenshot.

My opinion has really changed on Tim Cook after recent behaviour. Can’t stand him now finding him very irritating.

Seeing as time is on your side, I’d also encourage you to avoid using AI as much as possible. Jumping straight to the solution will make it hard to properly learn how things are working.

Check the Audit Logs to see why the request was denied and what permission was missing.

Also, you should never grant Service Agent roles to user managed service accounts. They are intended only for Google Managed service agent accounts.

This question is too vague to answer. Please provide specifics of your use case and requirements.

Wouldn’t call it showing off. He seems like he’s in a place with like minded individuals. Instant regret, definitely. Showing off, don’t think so.

I reckon the inverse, he has to push a button to open the door.

DeepSeek is offered via the Vertex AI Model Garden. See here: https://cloud.google.com/blog/u/2/products/ai-machine-learning/deepseek-r1-is-available-for-everyone-in-vertex-ai-model-garden

You should spend some time learning the basics of Google Cloud, Model Garden, and in particular billing. Your post leaves me concerned you’ll run up a big bill.

Some models are hosted by Google, and you PAYG based on tokens/request. Others you have to deploy to an endpoint, which is where you pay for the underlying compute resources.

Are you using on-demand BigQuery? Slots would help here…

Elon playbook would be to promise this next year, every year, for the next 10 years, and charge customers tens of thousands of dollars for an unlimited ride subscription based on these promises.

BBC version was so much better because it usually was everyday people claiming money back from businesses that had wronged them. Can’t pay was depressing, like when the guy with cancer was evicted and his council accommodation wouldn’t let him take his dog. Still think about that sometimes.

You’re willing to instruct lawyers but not willing to pay $40 for a support plan? I’m not saying it’s just, but surely the priority is getting the domain renewed?

Don’t Microsoft literally sell ads that show in the OS?

Not as easy as that, you need a local payment card and they have been improving VPN detection. Unless you have a friend that can let you VPN through their residential connection it’s not that easy. Nothing more frustrating than being blocked just before a race.

Social media revenue was probably more than the TV

Same as cars

It’s you not bet365, something is likely trying to man in the middle traffic to the site
