But, it’s the Canary®™… of coal mine fame.

So old. Like 12 years old.

That’s only 10 Petabytes per cartridge. The Internet Archive is currently sitting at 212 Petabytes.

But, without disruptive new products, sales seem to be stuck in a muted place. And the next swing at big disruption, Vision Pro, starting next year, feels a like a slow build, initially.

Fuck stock market analysts. In one sentence it’s “they don’t innovate.” In the next sentence it’s, “they innovate, but I want them to do it faster.”

How often can you expect a single company to disrupt entire markets? These expectations are not sustainable.

They’re also the company who mainstreamed the software subscription model.

It used to be that only services required subscriptions. Applications would be a one time payment. But, Adobe converted to the subscription model and because they hold a monopoly over the design space, people/companies had no choice but to go along. Once they were successful, every business in the world decided that they also wanted that sweet monthly payment and now software licensing sucks.

I refuse to even pirate Adobe products on principle.

TL;DR Fuck Adobe, use open source.

Hey, everyone! Get in here! We’re building a bikeshed!

Again?

Yeah, that’s what I want. For the government to tell me who I am or am not allowed to spend money with. I’m sure that wouldn’t have any negative repercussions.

The 18-30 demographic in this country is notorious for not voting. It’s been a thing for a long time. Which is part of the reason politics is so conservative*.

MTV was running the “Rock the Vote” campaign 30 years ago, in attempts to get younger people to vote. This is not a new situation at all.

*There are younger conservatives, but the younger demographics tend to skew liberal/progressive.

Firefox has been very good (better than Chrome) for several years. Ever since they released Quantum.

There’s nothing special about it. It’s just the extension in a larger format. I’ve tried to use it a few times, but there’s no gain over the extension. And, typically the extension is better because I already have my browser open, so I don’t need to open a new app.

Wow. Since you didn’t list the prices, I went to the links to check them out. Only $15-$20 to get a fully customized set of playing cards? That’s way less than I expected and I think I came away with some Xmas ideas.

Absolutely not. My 65+ year old parents just cut the cord recently because they were paying over $250 for cable. They now pay around $90 for Hulu+Live and get almost everything they had before, with a couple of small exceptions.

For those not clear, AppleTalk was created at a time where there was no universal standard in networking. The “standard network” you think of today, a bunch of computers plugged into a router, existed but wasn’t the de-facto setup. There was still experimentation going on.

Apple ported some of the AppleTalk features, such as Network Discovery, into Bonjour which was introduced in 2002. Once that became mature, there was no reason to keep AppleTalk around.

These aren’t even minor versions. They’re patch releases.

This update fixes 4 bugs that affect very few people.

Not wearing gloves could be a tactile thing. I wear gloves when cleanup would be a real hassle without them (wood finishing, working with epoxies), but I prefer not to when possible because I can’t feel what I’m doing as well.

I was curious too, so I looked into their Github issues. Apparently, SQLite doesn’t play well with k8s due to the distributed/networked nature of the environment. According to comments in the pull request, that seems to be the main driver. And apparently, Radarr already has a Postgres option.

Though, there are requests going back to 2017 to support it…just because, I guess? That person seems to just want all their data in one DB for some reason.

There wasn’t even a maximum on the contract. When I got my first two phones, I agreed to a 2-year cellular contract. If I closed my account or moved providers before that, I had to pay AT&T some amount of money to kill the contract. After those two years were up, I could do whatever I wanted. I was then on a month-to-month payment, like standard cell plans today. They just wanted to make sure to recoup their money over 2 years for subsidizing my cheaper phone upfront.

Now, the subsidization is more like a subscription fee, where there are additional fees on the bill each month toward the phone and the cell phone company encourages you to get a new one once it’s paid off. You’re still paying full price for a phone. Possibly forever.

However, before deleting an article, CNET reportedly maintains a local copy, sends the story to The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, and notifies any currently employed authors that might be affected at least 10 days in advance.

People are freaking out so bad about this story. They’re doing the right thing and archiving it before deletion. Settle down.

How many CNET articles from 2004 are you reading that you’re getting this angry about it?

Hell, I’m using the free tier. Zoho has the most relaxed offerings for free tier of any email provider I’ve looked into.

Their Admin UI sucks though. It’s almost impossible to find anything, and once you do find a link to what you need you’re forwarded to some other new tool they’ve created in the last year. Giant pain in the ass.
