I work with an azure database and 15% (!) of the time the connection handshake times out for no reason known to man.
This is well documented on their end. The solution? ‘Implement a retry logic’

Sorry to nitpick but doesn’t 100% of it end up as heat? Vibrations, light, sounds, radio waves- all a tiny fraction of the power are also eventually absorbed by the environment.
That was my understanding at least

It doesn’t fix it, but as stupid as it looks, it should actually improve the chances.
If you’ve seen how the reasoning works, they basically spit out some garbage, then read it again and think whether it’s garbage enough or not.
They do try to ‘correct their errors’, so to say.

I can’t use a CRM that doesn’t have bidirectional sync with my existing carddav, or at least I’d have to setup such sync myself.

There’s https://github.com/mattogodoy/nametag, which added this feature recently I believe.

Let me guess, you are from the US

With all these companies having presold future hardware, data centers and compute to each other, it’s a bit of a mess.

I sometimes put together long bash commands to pull docker image updates. I would take five minutes building up a command, make a typo, pressed undo by muscle memory and most of what I typed out would be gone with no way to undo.
This was no one time occurrence, because I’m too lazy to pull up vscode or something else, it would be a weekly occurrence.
I cried when that old piece of junk updated to the new notepad. Never had that issue since.

I hated wordpad. New notepad is so much better than the old. An undo on old notepad would undo the last 1-7 sentences randomly, and wouldn’t redo. Remembering notes is also good, and I love markdown.
I don’t use the ai and it never was in the way of what I needed, so whatever.

That’s fair. An unfortunate situation.

Have you read the post? Just wait for the new repo

As vulture bee honey is derived from animal flesh, it is not suitable for vegetarians.

Phew that’s good to know! Nearly gourged myself on some corpse honey

I’ve never had outlook take long, always done in about 5 seconds. Firefox too, which would be the last to optimise for.

As a certified lobotomite, one and the same.

Is NASA run by orcs

In a world where two gigabytes are cheap and software and dependencies complicated

Agreed. One may be able to use a scanner to avoid pains making quality pictures.

That would be as impossible as the UK trying to ban VPS (i.e. definitely possible, if entirely unenforceable)

It’s good to have a non-vendor specific solution. Although samsung has switched to this and has lost some features for the time being, it should be a benefit long term.

The funny thing about this is that the biggest customers can’t usually just switch. If a system is set, it is set for decades, generations or the entire company lifetime.

So microslop may start feeling part of the impact way further along the line, and wouldn’t be able to do shit about it

Movies often align to the popular perception if a thing rather than reality. Otherwise you’re watching a documentary.
