I agree and this resonates - but I’d still choose AMD in a heartbeat, Intel has lost all and every confidence that they do security correctly and it’s only since the 5000 series AMD has…“issues”. We’ve got a relatively big pool of various devices and the 3000 series ones are basically flawless.

However, especially ASUS has no right to cry about AMD, as they don’t seem to be able to fix simple bios errors either.

Better security…

So… You want to turn off the sun? This has nothing to do with climate change, the sun hasn’t changed intensity in a few 100 years, so sun makes things warm

Not really. Tons of apps are such bad quality, I’m actually wondering if there’s more shit in the app stores than anywhere else…

They are and that’s not necessarily exclusive.

As someone managing KnowBe4 for our Clients, I’d actually let you pass with it… ;D

Well, that’s probably a pretty good argument. I wish it would be different…

Personally, I think we need space to solve climate change faster (or rather, the effects it has on us - climate change is a pretty intricate factor of the climate itself, but we need to be better prepared for those changes and mitigate some of them), U.S. politics are very influential around the world and that pick would hopefully influence ESA and their funding more…

From my European point of view, i just hope she picks Kelly as her VP. A progressive Astronaut, Ambassador for UNITED24 and someone that knows that we should save us from the ultimate climate collapse…maybe we can get Alexander Gerst here in Germany to do some politics :D

Not American either, i just hope she chooses Kelly as her VP…a progressive Astronaut in politics is more important than ever.

I didn’t want to twist that knife as well… 😅

Do they care? And from my European perspective, it looks like your Executive and Judiciary is completely broken…

That’s also something I absolutely do not understand…yes, being disappointed is pretty normal in a democracy, it’s always a compromise. But not hammering down the facts what Democrats did this period to actually help every American is just Mind boggling.

Especially 6 Months before an election, here in Germany you can’t stop any politician yapping away with what they have done. (Although, positive or negative always depends on one self…)

I’ve been, too. Even though I’m neither in the US, nor a US citizen… It’s scary right now…

I like to think I can keep the artist separate from their art, but it’s hard.

You can’t, but in some cases the art stands for itself without the artist. Basically, you can separate the Art from an Artist, but not the Artist from the Art. (if that makes any sense…)

Why on another continent? Except maybe VDI, some direct calls to some LLM or some insane scales, there’s nothing really that needs those round trip times.

I would say it’s a very bad metric though in this context.

Full-ACK.

Luckily “the West” isn’t just the U.S. - it’s also France, the U.K., Mexico and even Australia…

the storage is built so it doesn’t break so easily. I trust AWS engineers more than Mike, no matter how cool Mike is to hang out with. Additionally, if the storage breaks while Mike is on vacation we’re screwed, with the cloud you get a whole team 24/7 on it.

That’s easily mitigated just following established standards. Redundancy is cheaper than anything else in the aftermath and documentation can be done easy with automation.

you can prevent data loss with backups or multi-region setups with a few clicks/terraform lines. Try telling the PO that you need to rent datacenter space in Helsinki and Singapore for redundancy…

You don’t, you rent rack space in a location far enough away but close enough to get the data in a few hours.

It’s neither superior, easier or less risky, it’s just a shift in responsibility. And in most cases, it’s so expensive that a second or third on site engineer is payed for.

The west does not have a monopoly on innovation.

Nope - but it does look like we have the “monopoly” of being able to call out bullshit openly and not fear falling out of a window. Or being stabbed.

I disagree - the Working Class want’s a mix between the original SPD and the original FDP. Those that want more right for the workers and those that are self employed. Because everyone thinking straight knows, we need immigration. However, we need a new set of rules. The AfD pretty much does play the role of “Bauernfänger” (the literal translation of “Scam” doesn’t work), as we say. All of those AfD Politicians that have actual seats have done shit over the years.
