Yeah it’s really kinda overconfident, aggressive and rude I’ve found. It says it has a solution to a problem caused by Microsoft updade November 2025 and “hundreds of users have been using it for 6 months” obviously that’s impossible
That's very similar to what I've been experiencing. "This is the best solution, it's what everyone uses" when I know for a fact that it's actually not. Very disappointing when you're trying to solve actual problems.
The market was down for AI related stocks especially, while down only over 3% it’s the worst week since April, and there’s no single event that is to blame it just looks like market sentiment has shifted away from the previous unchecked exuberance.
You have over a 100,000 servers? How is this? This is wild to ponder. I can only guess your monthly bill is in the millions. Are you able to say the company?
"100.000 servers" sounds like the entirety of 2008-era Google, but with today's 10-100x performance per server. It could be bigger than Dropbox or Netflix.
Thank you for the rescue, I loved mp3.com for discovering new artists and genres. I created an artist account and they sent me stickers and a tote bag, I thought those records were long lost, but finally just found them here!
I believe this site helped post hardcore emo break into the mainstream in the very early 2000s. Bands like Thursday and Taking Back Sunday rose on the mp3 charts with their Demos before they were signed. At least that’s how I remember it.
During my college undergrad CS series we had a practicum with a real engineer from HP or somewhere. Our project was to help the world find and download printer drivers over the web. The project was to make a Java web service send XML that conformed to a schema, which would be turned into a webpage by a transform aka XSLT. It seemed convoluted at the time. The teacher showed us “the how” but I guess “the why” was left as an exercise for the reader. I never understood the big picture- at the time it seemed rather complex. But now I realize this probably would have scaled quite well on turn of the century hardware.
While not the uranium phones and tee shirts, in the real world just last year we got Operation Grim Beeper, where Mossad remotely detonated thousands of custom made pagers with a few grams of plastic explosive, followed by two way radios the next day. AFAIK they didn’t make tee shirts but they did go on 60 minutes, in disguise, to brag about the operation. Just saying, it seems pretty on brand.
It’s voluntary, and many of us are happy to contribute our livers if we are in the unlikely scenario of being in a vegetative state so that it can help a recipient. I don’t think the recipients estate is financially enriched by the procedure- in fact the opposite. I’m no Christian but isn’t that something Jesus would do? He’d give his earthy body obviously, and certainly not for financial incentive.
OP doesn’t say why they are against free cloud backup, and it doesn’t matter, but (like everything else in Windows) there’s a registry setting you could change to disable the notification. I think it is
Oh so Linux is hard because you have to sometimes use the command line. Then people suggest registry hacks to make Windows work properly. Then Microsoft will just flip your registry setting back anyways. Stockholm syndrome is crazy.
Author here. I'm not against against free cloud back up. I was a Ubuntu One user before it shutdown. The problem isn't even that you can disable it via the registry.
The problem is that looking at the presented options, you can basically choose "Yes" or "OK".
I like windows 11 family settings. I can let my kids play Minecraft on old corporate castaway Dells, which I setup from bios/pe to do a clean reinstall. Then I can manage screen time limits and content restrictions from an app on my phone. All free.
Those are standard equipment on many big rigs for backing up in the dark. I had the same experience as you when I forgot to dim my brights coming up on a trucker on the interstate at night!
