Not if management thinks backup means online cloud based overprovsioned by just 20% means real backup according to the slick sales people as tapes are sooo unhip and pre-mellenial so that means it can't be as good.
Yes there are young system admins who think raid is a backup and so is cloud storage which also get encrypted too. Or they only provision 20% snaspshot or incremental changes only. Not a full 100% double which a full encryption would do killing the so called "cloud" backups too.
Fortunately, "fandroids" have their choice of phones, and don't have to buy crippled junk from Samsung.
Take the Moto G4 Play and G5. Removable battery? CHECK! SD card slot? CHECK! Headphone jack? CHECK once more!
Dude have you seeen the specs on this thing?!> . 100 DPI? My non smart phone from 2009 had a better screen! It is IPS?! The CPU is 5 years old and 2 generations behind the budget grade snapdragons which powered my old Windows Phone. Tiny battery life and no mention of ram which makes me suspicious.
Can it even boot anything after 6 marshmallow or run apps? 3 gigs of ram is the minimum requirement for any phone these days.
On Facebook it's assumed it's because of socialism and the extreme poverty and lack of jobs that California and Europe that is causing the moves. Fox news parrots this everyday. Mention California's high GDP and they won't believe you!
Significant improvements have been made to virtualization including Amazon and Azure/HyoeerV since 6 or 7 including BSDs own Bhyve. SMP and the removal of big lock and updated desktop environments on the desktop end.
Sure a Unix terminal by default looks the same since 1988 but you haven't used it for anything important.
Yet same ones that pay $1200 over 2 years for a $900 Samsung phone with an inflated monthly phone bill. Most idiots even finance cars and never pay full in cash??!! This was unheard of 40 years ago
Windows never will be a SAS. MS would be sued by OEMs and users will leave for other platforms. Microsoft 365 is volunterary. This has been repeated here for many years now
Everyone as usual here keeps freaking out that Windows is now RENT ONLY???!
Microsoft365 is just a rename for Office 365 so relax folks. If you don't want to pay for it then don't. No one is forcing you to run Office 365 or use OneDrive for your photos. Some people want this to get work done. Others do not.
Microsoft365 is just WIndows + Office 365 together. If you don't want to pay for a subscription then don't.
Some users don't care about computers and just need to run spreadsheets for work and have their kids run book reports and do their taxes etc. Office 365 is like $60 a year for 4 devices.
I used to think it was a good value with Skydrive which is now OneDrive but since the cost of 1 TB hard drives are cheap maybe not so much. So far Office is still top notch as LibreOffice is amature.
Sadly, this still is popular among the older types. I work now in an environment where it is like this. If you make waves people will find ways to fire you. Last place was even worse where and give you bad performance reviews to HR without you or your boss knowing behind your back. Example your fly is down and HR gets 4 emails about it. I never found out who but I had to leave that other company by the time I found out grr. Some environments thrive on this. Others you make awesome friends and horrible enemies and go to the fights when you do try.
Mark Cuban was fired from a computer franchise for not opening a store to secure a $300,000 deal. He was fired before that for chatting with executives and starting meetings on to improve business. His bosses did a WTF I AM THE BOSS WTF are you and fired him etc.
Europe may come ahead as it is much harder to fire someone and at the end of the day people want to keep their jobs more than contributing to the organization in which I find very disheartening and sad.
But Asia is a whole new level of serfdom as in Japan you can't leave your office unless your boss leaves first etc.
It doesn't make sense to develop 2 websites one for Chrome and one for open standards when safari owns 4% of the market. You put a disclaimer with a link to Chrome. Remember 2005? Mac users needed Windows XP in virtualPC to use the web as IE 6 was required for many sites.
Also khtml and Firefox were opensourced but bosses didn't care and forced IE 6 only site testing. Hell no.
W3C is dead too as only Chrome decides what's used and how it's implemented. We freed ourselves only to hand our keys in for a new pair of shackles.... Oh and webkit and blink are from the same codebase. I am sure Apple takes code from blink all the time like they do with FreeBSD
No one cares about open source! If Google breaks something or adds something in Chrome like AMP accelerated web pages that's not in Chromium the answer is not go use my code with this fix?
It is break your standards compliant code so it works in Chrome or get another job.
That's not the point. IE 6 was used because web developers only trageted it because their users only used IE 6 and this is because only IE 6 was targeted etc.
It took almost 12 freaking years and WinXP eol to break this cycle! Not that webkit is opensourced as this is irrelevant.
If Chrome has a bug which breaks a standard in every other browser you code to that bug and tell everyone Firefox isn't supported. Open sourced or not your users don't care nor will run your patches. Only Google dictates and matters
About every 12 to 18 months, the owner of the company I work for will come to me about moving 'everything' to the cloud. I always say the same thing, "Maybe we could move {a few non-essential things} and see how that goes, but I wouldn't trust moving {anything we rely on}".
This article and many others like it are the reason I will keep saying this.
I would keep my resume updated. When an owner looks to moving to the cloud it means they want to outsource and eliminate most if not all of IT to save money.
The cloud really is about cutting costs. Not providing benefits and having MBA types circumvent IT by administering it themselves are the reason. Slashdot had an older article when cloud was new was the majority of organizations wanted the cloud to circumvent IT and do shadow IT stuff with an outousrced cloud partner.
Even if your job is secure you are ultimately responsible for Microsoft's or Amazon's uptime as the people are not technical enough to understand and will demand numbers when it will be back up etc.
The problem is the people who decide to move to cloud aren't in IT. They are in accounting.
They tell IT to lay people off so the CFO can get his bonus for being smart. Then blame the IT department when MFA breaks and not hold the CFO and his accountants responsible as they saved the organization money so fsck off etc.
Steve Jobs love him or hate made excellent products well ahead of their time. He has been gone for awhile now and there is no reason to pay a premium for his products. Android and Windows have caught up while IOS and MacOSX have regressed in quality and uniqueness.
When MacOSX came out and when the first iPhone came out there was nothing like it! Gorgeous. WindowsXP was kind of close but was butt ugly and behind in terms of unix features and looks with hardware accelerated graphics. Before the IPhone1 we had crappy flip phones with $2.99.mid ring tone music generated that sounded like an Atari locked down with your carrier. The iPhone had GPS! The iPhone had sensors! The iPhone had amazing apps! The iPhone had maps! I could go on and on.
Regardless people also expect free apps and stream music for free and put up with ads now. So no revenue stream in the AppStore which is how Apple grew monumentous during it's brief height. Steve Jobs is gone and Apple doesn't have a revenue plan or way to win.
If I were Apple I would have bought Pandora and Spotify with exclusive deals and music only available on the Apple ecosystem or something.
Microsoft we love to hate them here but are making $$$$ off of Linux with Azure and also Visual Studio and Office 365 subscriptions. MS has improved their C++ and now even includes Python, R, clang and even Android SDK with an emulator (no you did not misread that!) and made Visual Studio Code available to Linux and made VS for the Mac. They are growing and improving their once laughable product stack. Apple? Not so much.
Did you give a damn at all about the lady serving you food in the company cafeteria today? Did it cross your mind? No?
Then why should your boss or employer care about you either?
There purpose is to make the customer happy. Companies exist to make you happy when you pay them. That is the goal but since your company pays you your job is to make their customers or boss happy. They have no obligation back until you pay them back.

Or our bosses don't pay us to hang out on Linux. Not everyone gets to be a senior Unix admin.
Or we want to play a game and I loose that freedom in Linux.
Yes. Vista sucked ass! Windows 10 is much faster, secure, and reliable in comparison
Windows never will be a SAS. MS would be sued by OEMs and users will leave for other platforms. Microsoft 365 is volunterary. This has been repeated here for many years now
Office 365 home has been around for a long time now. It is just a renamed version. Some people need it for school and work. Others don't.

Edge is the most secure and standards compliant browser in existence. Look it up?
Even IE has been standards compliant for quite sometime.
Problem is MS did too little too late and everyone has been comfortable with Chrome for awhile now
No one cares about open source! If Google breaks something or adds something in Chrome like AMP accelerated web pages that's not in Chromium the answer is not go use my code with this fix?
It is break your standards compliant code so it works in Chrome or get another job.
Yes this is bad.
That's because Edge is an app and not an application. Any browser from the app store is stored there
That's not the point. IE 6 was used because web developers only trageted it because their users only used IE 6 and this is because only IE 6 was targeted etc.

This is your boss. I use IE 8 because html 5 is too scary and am too cheap to upgrade our crm. Your website looks funny on my computer.
Can you fix by tomorrow morning? Thanks

I still play wow classic on illegal servers and unreal tournament 1999 on steam lol
If I had a mod point I would give you one ha. But it's Thanksgiving in the States which means football so that is a tad too sensitive for many :-)
Yeah like Google is a realistic average employer.
They serve you! The customer.
Did you give a damn at all about the lady serving you food in the company cafeteria today? Did it cross your mind? No?
Then why should your boss or employer care about you either?
There purpose is to make the customer happy. Companies exist to make you happy when you pay them. That is the goal but since your company pays you your job is to make their customers or boss happy. They have no obligation back until you pay them back.
That is the cold hard truth.
