Re: Oh dear
Those who use(d) the backend "databases" etc tended to really rate it. The problem was that the email client (which was the bit the vast majority of people used) sucked big time (see icon)
I fall into the latter camp

Re: Preserve the meaning of our personal past
Maybe the future would *want* us to keep putting PCs and NAS drives into (designated) landfill, just so that they know which techno-middens to dig in once they have perfected the datamatic trowel and measuring stick.
My computers and NAS have encrypted discs and the keys are in a password manager with the password only known to myself. If I've done my job correctly then bringing the data back would be impossible for a thief but also relatives or archeologists...

Re: Defragging isn't a big deal anymore
> The only thing that is running spinning rust is my IBM pSeries (because SAS SSDs are still expensive), and my NAS box.
The same here for the NAS, although it's getting to the point that I could afford to run SSDs now. If Synology made a NAS I wanted to buy (ie one that can do both 10Gb/s and video transcoding) then I'd probably take the plunge.
'Return to Office' declared dead
AWS rakes in half a billion pounds from UK Home Office
Friday 1st December 2023 13:12 GMT
The size of the award indicates the service will underpin the Home Office's digital operations, and it comes at an interesting time for AWS. The cloud giant and arch-rival Microsoft are under increasing scrutiny in the UK as the competition regulator examines just how level the playing field is.
Both businesses have won huge contracts in the British public sector in recent years. As an example, AWS was tapped to provide storage for secret government files, and a four-year hyperscale cloud deal was inked with the UK tax office – HMRC – in 2021.
It'd be very interesting to see how much tax AWS pay HMRC on the ~half billion

President and CEO Jensen Huang shared a vision in which copilots and AI assistants proliferate and generative AI brings us "text-to-text, text-to-image, text-to-video, text-to-3D, text-to-protein, text-to-chemicals."The last two look like early candidates for 2024's Words Of The Year. Or maybe the Ig Nobel prize?
I work in the field of drug discovery and if those last two become reality then they'd be truly transformative

On the other hand, having an implant like this could be very good for when you target a specific area of the body (think cell-killing drugs for a tumour)

Vanishing power feeds, UPS batteries, failover fails... Cloudflare explains that two-day outage
Tuesday 7th November 2023 13:35 GMT 
"We had never tested fully taking the entire PDX-04 facility offline. As a result, we had missed the importance of some of these dependencies," wrote Prince, and we appreciate the honesty.
Absolutely.
Obviously the single dependency on PDX-04 wasn't good; but this gives you confidence that it'll probably be fixed in the near future...

Interestingly, Paul Calleja, who was quoted in the article, will proudly tell you about how he he ditched a load Sun E25K boxen and replaced them with a load of Dell servers and shot into the Top500 for the first time.
