If you're on TikTok...

...you deserve everything you get.

No, I really don't think that anyone has any sort of duty to protect the stupid from themselves.

Traced?

...Elliptic researchers were able to trace the stolen funds...

No wonder the whole shebang has just gone south. Presumably the world's crooks have seen this, worked out that if Elliptic can do it, so can the FBI et. al. and decided to get the fuck out sharpish.

A new take on an old meme..

"People are leaving us for another service! What should we do?".

"Throw hardware at it.".

HINT: That never works even when it looks like it might be a valid answer.

...infrastructure as a service (IaaS)....IBM doesn’t offer that option for mainframes.

I can't help thinking that's because taking the Golden Goose of mainframe sales out behind the bike sheds and wringing its neck wasn't thought to be a great idea.

...old Space Shuttle bits are a limited commodity.

How they must yearn for the days when all you had to do to get old shuttle bits was stand in America and wait.

Hmm, let me fix that.

"...pull all that data into Snowflake [and then] everything's in Snowflake and it's easy to managewe'll have them by the balls and can charge the gullible sods whatever the fuck we like, just like SAP. We'll be rich, RICH I SAY...BUWAHAHAHAHA,"

Why is it that "Give someone else your critical data and processing and hope to christ they don't decide to exploit their hold over you" always seems attractive as a strategy?

Hmm, the little picture on the left of the article neatly illustrates why Zuckerbitch has gone all in on this.

"In VR nobody can tell you're a sad dork.".

"...paid administrative leave..."

He may get the last laugh here. With nothing else to do, he could well be the first to respond to the chance of securing a slice of Sani Abacha's fortune for a small investment.

He's the type who'd believe any old shit[1] after all.

[1] Now known to be the fault of the "G gene", often referred to as the "God gene" (as religious types invariably express it), although I prefer to call it the "gullible gene".

They must have been Touched By His Noodly Appendage.

This whole project's endgame is to create a gigantic pasta-strainer in space, isn't it?

Hmm, let me fix that for you.

"While Infosys was directedgiven a massive T&M contract to fix the errorsmake additional changes that deviate from the agreed specification as it was read by them..."

Next week:

New, massively more efficient changing tech invented that requires a new port design. Promptly rolled out globally....bar Europe where two years of hand wringing and bullshit is required to approve the change.

EU bureaucrats. Fuckwits to a man.

...overall rating had fallen from "strong" to "positive".

Is "grapefruit" higher or lower than those? What about "exorcism"?

I'm guessing that Gartner never learned how to count on their fingers.

Again?

Another one from the: "ooo iz 3D nows and wilz change wurld, yes?", pile.

The only thing of interest willl be whether it gets a slight adoption before interest peters out and it dies, or just a "meh".

HINT: Absolutely nobody wants to hamper themselves with goggles / glasses / gloves / headsets / exoskeleton / whatever to do their job or enjoy their entertainment.

Oops.

...keeping average global heating within the 1.5˚C margin.

That ship has sailed, reached its destination, docked, unloaded, taken on new cargo and started back. Anyone who thinks that target is in any way achievable is talking out of their bum.

We need to be spending cash on solutions for living with a warmer climate, not pissing it up the wall in a grandiose "King Cnut" exercise at the behest of the agitprop brigade[1].

[1] Who, if you really do everything they ask, will just repay you by finding some other reason to chuck bricks through your windows.

Three good deeds?

Easy. Track down three ransomware gangs and give each and every one of the fuckers a tyre necklace.

Sorted.

Twisted Panda?

Look, I know that there's every sort of pr0n going on teh internets, but that's a step too far...
