I made the mistake of pronouncing the “s” in “debris” once, and a pedantic acquaintance pretended to not know the word over and over as I repeated it, until I finally realized the mistake. If he’d simply corrected me, I would have laughed at myself and appreciated him. But he had to be a smug prick about it, and now I permanently resent him.
Sorry for the mini trauma dump. Just agreeing with your sentiment.
plans to leave fame behind
Sssssuuuuuure you do. People like her are a fame tautology. They’re famous because their famous.
Good. There’s too many of us.
You’re welcome. There are a few exclusive books that only show up an Amazon but so far 99% of what I have been shopping for has been available on Kobo.
I use Calibre with a couple of plugins. KoboUtilities and Obok DeDRM. It is easy.
I’m all for people doing this if they can.
Meanwhile, I love my Kobo e-reader and I only purchase e-books from Kobo (since Amazon eliminated “side loading”).
Good observation. I think part of it is, that’s just how these business douchebags talk about everything.
Meanwhile I see kids doing this all the time while mom or dad looks at their phone behind the wheel. I do live in a redneck area*, though.
*the USA.
That guy who posited that “everyone in America is 12 years old” was probably right.
But…why? I can see cloud connectivity for some things… but a bed? The entire point is data harvesting from suckers. Internet of Shit product.
Hard to check in with somebody stabbing you with a kitchen knife but are you OK Jason buddy?
Using robots for dreary drudge work could be a good thing with something like UBI to go along with it. But instead of fully automated luxury gay space communism, they will implement “Gilded Age 2.0: The Worser Dystopia”, instead.
Well, some of us have niche kinks, like dumping poo from a fighter jet. You won’t find that any ol’ porn hub site.
This is definitely a trap. It’s happening at the same time as the anti-porn crusade.
Dave explains the “long tail” of recovery:
Same with us. Had to reboot/restart a number of things, and resynch clocks.
There are some downstream / knock on effects going on which can be explained…but I can’t help but wonder if today’s story is bigger than just AWS. AWS saying it was an outage of a “few hours” for DynamoDB and DNS…and that doesn’t line up all that great with what people are reporting in the wild . I’m not trying to start a conspiracy theory, just wondering what the post mortems will tell us, if anything. Obviously the suits want to keep embarrassing fuckups downplayed as much as possible.
Yup, and some things which can be moved cannot be done automatically, quickly or easily…even if you are prepared. AWS is a huge suite of products and services, and there’s a lot of old legacy shit running on it. I wouldn’t punch down on the ops for this one. Cybersecurity and disaster recovery are not directly profitable, so they are almost always neglected in your average shop.
