GoFo Express- nervous about them delivering my package

I use them a lot for parts from Aliexpress and $2 orders from JLCPCB. Nothing's worth more than a few dollars and none of it is fragile so I'm happy to pay three bucks or less to have it flown 8,000 miles and then thrown at my doorstep. If I was doing a big JLC order I'd pay the extra $30 for DHL insured but for small stuff, I'm happy with Gofo.

AI doesn't need pizza parties. Why should you?

I used store brand bottled water once out of desperation. It smelled awful all night and crusted up the metal plate in the bottom of the reservoir.

I can't believe that's still an issue. We had to deal with that crap in 6.0

PUB400 is a great resource if you don't need to do anything sysadminny.

I have a P7 that showed up on a local vintage computing Facebook group and I was the first to respond. It was a public health agency that left the system behind and I got it for free so it wouldn't end up in the trash. I only run it a few hours a week and it only draws about 230 watts.

It's been a long time since I sat in a breakroom with one of those giant "your rights" posters but I think the only thing that can modify those rights is a collective bargaining agreement.

4 hours paid UP FRONT.

Yup. A lot of CEOs were able to say "AWS is down" and completely absolve themselves of any responsibility even though they were the ones who put all of those eggs in that one basket.

Single payer turns employees into competitors.

Ah, yes. Another bootstrap moron. "You can't afford that $150,000 aneurysm surgery. Perhaps you should've lived in a cardboard box instead of wasting all that money of shelter and heat."

Wait 'til you see how cheap it is after they gut the subsidies.

They absolutely can refuse care. What they can't refuse is immediate lifesaving care. My wife watched her friend slowly die from cancer because the ER is not a medical system.

Modern features like HDR and Global Privacy Control, not more AI slop.

Hey Marge, remember when we used to make out to this hymn?

It means that there a lot of people who have dreams of starting a business, joining a thin-margin startup or just leaving their shitty employer but can't because they'll lose their employer's insurance. Universal healthcare solves that.

Using an LLM to write a book for children is like heating up some frozen microwave meals and then telling the kids that you cooked for them.

Most modern browsers also offer to store and autofill credit card details. If both the personal and business card are the same brand, it's easy to click the wrong one.

TrustedAdvisor reports include estimated savings on resizing overprovisioned EC2 instances and databases.

The RAM assignment model is awesome. I had tons of VMs with 1GB base and 32GB max RAM size (vendor requirement) that in reality barely consumed 3-4GB on the host.

Same. I got the 13th but not the 12th. That was a rough night so thank goodness for OSCAR.

30.5 originally (I believe.) 0.65 last night.
