What Are You Doing Right Now
-
I've noticed better results from both DuckDuckGo and Yahoo quite often. Google seems to sometimes provide nothing but ads, in fact.

Yeah. I'm kinda ditching google as a whole anymore. Part of the reason I bought office 365 is I want to move away from Gmail.

OMG, I hate Gmail!

The fact that they started even putting targeted ads in the mobile gmail app was the last straw for me. And they are trying to force the Google Inbox thing which I don't like to automate email thinking it knows what important to you. I like folders and rules, the inbox thing just makes me miss important stuff.

I like Gmail... but I don't like the targeted ads in the mobile app. I've started using the Zoho mail app... working pretty well so far.

I'm actually to a point I can't read the email there because it is so poorly filtered. Gmail is definitely only useful for people not reading their mail. It's the most incompetent email interface I've ever encountered.

I couldn't get folders to sync properly between the site, Outlook and my phone.

Just had a recruiter reach out to me about an OpenVMS job! Wow, I love VMS, but can't believe that it is still running anywhere. Haven't really used that since 1995.

Wow. I've seen old accounting systems on it, but never seen it actively being used anymore.

System I or whatever is still used for Datacenter processing of transactions. It uses a Reason cpu so not just anything can run on it. Though some linux kernals can.

It's very similar to the old powerPC mac cpu's expect it's dual core and 64bit now days.

Good morning people!

Morning Joy!

System i and System P used the REAL IBM Power CPU. The PowerPC was a low power, older model of the Power processors. Power are the world's fastest CPUs. They are insane. Power 8 is really amazing. The PowerPC was an anemic toy that used their architecture and rode their name for a while to try to claim to be fast. The PowerPC wasn't bad, but it was in no way an IBM Power other than being the same architecture.
The PowerPC was the Atom to the Power's Xeon.

No one uses AS/400s. They died out in the 1990s. People refer to System i as AS/400 for some reason still. It's been fifteen years. Those are still new.
OpenVMS is still available new on HP Integrity (Itanium) gear.

That low? I'd consider it more like a core i3. It wasn't that bad.
