I would mostly agree, but I grew up in the 80s and back then you were expected to exercise common sense and be on alert even if indoors if not in your own home.
Get injured in a friend's place - the government run and free (back then) healthcare (actual care) system would take care of you. You would have an ambulance with an actual doctor a field nurse and a driver (not just measly emts) at your location in between 3 to 7 minutes from a phone call. It took a little more time for firefighters. Nothing was inherently safe or unsafe.
Just last week my company had a Christmas party at a restaurant offsite. Let's say that the food and the drinks didn't quite agree with a colleague who barfed repeatedly on his way to the restroom, a distance of no more than 18 feet. I did walk 4 to 5 seconds after him to check on him, stepping in his barf with no indication of loss of traction whatsoever. Another colleague who did see the guy barfing apparently decided to go to the ladies room at the same time. She walked 3 feet behind me, somehow managed to slip, fall and hit her head. Now she is threatening to sue the restaurant. This is insane. She knew very well where she was going as she saw the original colleague barfing, she apparently did not adjust her stride or the way she steps and made no effort whatsoever to go around the 6" wide barf in a passage that is at least 5 feet wide and there was no other person beside me 3 feet in front of her and not impeding her movement. What do you call that?
You are supposed to have health insurance or live an country with a working health care system. If you slip and fall on a sidewalk who do you sue? All the people in the city as it is a public property. That is insane. If you slip it is your own fault, unless there is grease and or other substance.
It's even worse. I live in an apartment building, that is services by Cox. For one reason or another I don't like them (constant price hikes) and I want to use a WISP. There is a WISP I have line of sight to one of their POPs, and I have all the CPE equipment on my own. I can see their signal at -60db, which is neat.
They would not sell me service tough, because they have a non-complete signed with Cox to not sell in Cox service areas, which I happen to fall in.
These types of agreements, should definitely be outlawed and companies fined by FCC.
What is my option here? To ask for the service on the top of the street lamppost and lease a space on the top of the lamppost from the city, and then do a repeater, since Cox will not provide coax service on the top of the lamppost? Why do I have to do such insane things to be able to pay someone I like for a service I like?
Also "senior" in India does in no way relate to person's abilities, it just means they have been with the company for more than 1 year. They can continue to produce garbage as they did in their first year. Even "principal" is given based on years and not on actual abilities.
Something unheard of, but it looks like the marketing drones had a little common sense (or too much guilty consciousness to ignore) and didn't want anyone else to suffer from something developed in "Bengalaru".
Who am I kidding, the marketing drones don't have consciousness of any kind.
If you have done your VMs right, with an LVM and a sane file system with online resize (e.g. XFS) you don't need to shut down a VM to add a new disk. You just attach a new virtual disk, add it to the LVM, extended the volume, extend the file system and you are on. With ZFS you get all that plus live snapshots so you can do your consistent backups. Those things have been invented years ago, but again I'm surprised that some "devops masters" (point a finger at some colleagues) are not aware of them. Regarding the new services, why would you reboot instead of just going to runlevel 1, or using properly your service management stack? E.g. djb deaemontools - those run in userland on top of init, though I don't like them particularly so usually manage other ways.
One of my routers is a 19 or 20 year old box, Pentium 233-MMX overclocked to 250MHz, with 4 fast Ethernet cards, 128 SD ram. All of the components even the PSU are original (only fans have been replaced) and I replaced the IDE HDD with a flash card circa 2007. Now, that runs pfsense (BSD), but again, boot time is not the issue. It has been on for about 60% of that time, the last 10 years 24/7. One of my file servers is a 2007 Mac Mini, that I just got a new fan for, but it is still not in a dire need of replacement. That machine has ran 24/7 all of the almost 10 years I've had it (with 18 month replacement of the HDD to a larger model).
Consumer grade hardware is good enough most of the time.
Are you seriously asking such a deranged question or just trolling? We don't live in the 90s any more.
There is no reason, even with the price of electricity in Europe to shut your computer down, hence boot time is moot. And considering since 2005 or the whereabouts most people are on laptops, and it is relatively not so hard to find one with a working ACPI, hibernation to disk is what people do. Actual startup should only be performed after kernel patching (and not in all cases necessary) or hardware changes. Which is about 2-3 times a year at most.
That wasn't my point actually. I like to watch people as they realize that the phone doesn't actually have a display but a window to the battery compartment. Also it has all I need - a phone and a flash light. I wish I ha kept an old nokia with a flashlight.
It is interesting that after you mentioned it I had to scroll practically to the bottom of the Amazon product page to find that indeed the dot has 3.5mm jack. Definitely outside of the area I would look for that.
It is not in the product photos on the top, but still there is no information for the DAC or if there is a toslink integrated into the 3.5mm jack. Amazon really failed marketing this properly at least to me.
I've interacted with the original tall echo speaker and was really disappointed by that.
You must be half deaf then, because the quality of the Alexa speaks for playing music is horrible. And you know what - the brain needs to have some rest. The instant gratification of doing 10 things at a time is nothing more than addiction. There is this concept called mindfulness, check it out, it really improves your life, though I'm afraid if your only spare time to get some news is in the shower, you may not have any. Stop giving in to all this BS all the corporations are trying to put you into. Take your time, think about what you do, live in the moment, not in 10 difference places in 10 different days somewhere in the next 6 months. Those corporate bastards can really do without the greed of ever increasing profits. The world will not end if there isn't "growth" for a day, for a month, or for a year.

The bagging boy did a terrible job of cleaning up the broken mayo jar.
Well, that changes things, and you didn't include it in your original comment.

Next time I come with construction foam applied in the exhaust of such unter cars.
They have been killing the OS starting with 10.7. It is almost dead to the point most of the last year I have been using a $180 windows 8.1 PC.
Considering the shite OS X / MAC OS has become. The last version that was ok was 10.6.8
Week begins on Monday.
And give up to planned obsolescence? OLED degrade with time, in 2 years they will be dim and uneven. Why the hell would you buy an OLED?
That's some weird way of counting. You only have 1 first post today and since today is the beginning of the week, you only have one first post.
With sector antennas though I can only lie about distance, it still has to be on the same heading

Except, you know, Binge on is an optional service. If you don't want it, you can get net neutrality.
ignorant troll you

Last sentence makes no sense. They have informed of what?

"drive's contents are cloned to Amazon Drive, so you can be pretty confident that your important stuff will be safe."
It either does clone to Amazon or is safe, not both.
Those are very helpful with insurance companies when someone crashes into you.

I haven't bought anything expect a dinner since the 21st. And I am not going to buy anything.
