Gotta love the slop dash that some renovations bring... A room is supposed to look 'better' after the renovations. I once lived in an apartment in Chicago, there were so many layers of "emulsion" on the walls that the electrical outlets looked like Pink Floyd's pig pushing through the wall!
I visit Dabbsy at his new digs. I don't think he's coming back, Reg.com® is heading in a new direction, and I think Dabbsy has his pride too! His new columns aren't necessarily SFTW, but still Dabbsy. He published a new column today. If you read him here, you should give him a chance and read him there ;-}. Maybe leave a comment, yeah, I know another login... deal with it.
Back in the mists of antiquity, a company I worked for had an IT department with out a direct boss, the company added D levels for all departments, IT included. The new Director was a nice enough guy, and I was able to enforce some sanity under his stint with the company. D levels never got any admin privs...
In March of '71 I had a flight on a TWA 747 from O'Hare to LAX. What a different time and place it was for passenger aviation. That's when they had gift bags! Playing cards, Captains Wings, coloring book etc, etc... I didn't get to visit the cockpit, grown men naked make me nervous, always have...
A key part of the company's datacenter architecture is its cooling system, which uses a combination of a closed loop system and water drawn from the environment to keep IT infrastructure operating within acceptable limits.

On a side note, I was once reading a column here about laser pointers harassing landing jets, and lo and behold, before I had a pi-hole, there was an ad here on Reg.com for laser pointers. I took a screen shot for posterity. Too bad Reg.com doesn't let us embed photos...
So, Elon farts in Apple's general direction on his newly acquired internet megaphone. Gets some press, gets invited(?) to visit TC. Struts into the meeting like cock of the walk, later after the meeting, he laughs it off as a misunderstanding, something taken out of context, and now he's marching in line like a good little soldier.
What would motivate a man to change so suddenly? Especially someone as bold as Elon?
Blackmail\extortion? We have the pics!
A quick look at his real financial situation, as I'm sure Apple can get the info they need.
Because the users are like junkies in that they are hooked on the product.
I was sys admin, and I gotta say, users had little input into the OS they were running, we tried to use the best OS for the task at hand. I supported macOS(writing this from macOS!), and Windows, if macOS covered the bases, they got that. If they needed a windows only app, then we would provide Windows.
As the arm chair sys admin(the only IT guy in the family) I tried in all cases to get macOS in their hands. But most opted for windows because of cost of the hardware and games...
users really don't care. Fanbois care.

Perhaps this coupled with bans being lifted has attracted new readers?
Now on with the Twitter bashing bash!
