Wow! Interesting to follow up.

Welp there goes another good product.

How? The business product remains unchanged minus branding (so far).

Free home service as a marketing driver makes sense for a new company but not for an established one like WatchGuard

Well I just meant for home. It's not expensive or anything. I guess I just meant the situation sucks, that's all.

But hopefully adding thousands in a new office.

I would think this would happen due to restructuring, in anticipation of the new HQ. Have they announced where it will be?

I've not seen it announced yet. Seems like it would be big news when they do.

It has not been announced. A narrowed down list was announced in January I believe.

@gjacobse said in Your next phone may have an ARM machine learning processor:

learning

Its called NPU, and everybody thinks (not the end user of-course) that it is half baked if not total gimmick.

Deep learning is shallower and more hyped than Italian television

That was brilliant, how mad them rockets landing back down where they wanted. Normally the rockets are destroyed on re-entry??

NOt for SpaceX. They have been landing them for years now.

I wasn't aware of this to be fair, don't normally follow, but still amazing to say the least, should imagine they can do more flights saving the rockets.

Every rocket that lands successfully saves tens of millions if not more on than larger ones. And the scale of a 10+ story building landing is something else as well...

Not having coffee may cause blunt force trauma.

Just ready-to-drink coffee... whatever that is.

You meaning the dry stuff that you fill into boiled water? 🤢

That would do it.

This Notebook bar doesn't seem like anything particular different or special in anyways.

I've been using LibreOffice Draw (supposedly doesn't have the functionality) and I checked Calc to confirm. I don't see anything mind blowing. .

Verizon has been trying this with me, and I call them every time.

Not had a look at staff hub yet, it's in the Todo list for Feb. Hopefully they will improve it by then

But Dragon Media argues that it is merely facilitating access to online content rather than providing pirated TV itself. "The entertainment industry for decades, even going back to Sony Betamax cases, have been fighting tooth and nail against innovation and technology and losing almost every single battle," Syverson said. "There is no reason for plaintiffs to be optimistic in any way."

"I remember a young company called YouTube whose business model was copyright infringement. It was sued, and it didn't turn out too badly for YouTube, did it?" Syverson also said. (Viacom sued YouTube in 2007, and the case was settled in 2014.)

"Generally speaking, linking to content online has been cleared by almost every court in the land," he said.

I've used them over Vultr when I could just because everything integrates with them easily. Like right now I'm doing some testing and I used them because I can use terraform easily.

Spectre is everyone. So my point still stands here.

@matteo-nunziati said in US Senate Questions Apple About Intentional Slowdown of iPhones:

This Apple this is border line ti me @scottalanmiller is right but for sure more relevant things happen in real life...

That's a fair idea, but it relies on the premise that the Senate is overworked and has no time to do important things. But in reality, the Senate does very little work and has loads of free time.

These are lawmakers, remember, and the investigation is to determine if there is a gap in the law protecting Americans from monopoly abuse or consumer abuse. This is very much their jobs and honestly, impacts the average American far more than most things that the Senate does. This is actually pretty decently important within their scope of things.

There are certainly a great number of other things that they could be doing. But that's not the alternative. The alternative is "how many other things would they be doing?" And if they didn't have this iPhone issue, they'd probably just take more time off. And it is not likely the Senate doing this, but a subcommittee of like three people looking for some information while other subcommittees work on gather similar info about myriad other issues.

There are two reasons we don't see much work come out of the Senate. One is that they are lawmakers and in theory, we don't want new laws very often. New laws should be few and far between or it means our old laws aren't very good. The second is that there are tons of things that people won't agree on or if a vote is taken something awful might happen. So things that have no chance of passing or might end in disaster are often avoided, regardless of available free time.
