Cowards

We have a similar mix, though I was referring to the underlying virtualisation providing their cloud hosting.

Azure runs on windows. Hosts run a modified version of Hyper-V.

At least, they did last I checked.

The solution is to just buy a cheap Brother mono laser printer.

And if each did cost them money - they’ve been paid when the stupid thing was purchased!

They were relatively quick to pull the 1.13GHz Pentium III from the market when it turned out to have stability issues from pushing Coppermine too far.

This feels like a repeat of that, but with Intel sticking their heads in the sand and screwing over customers instead.

Much heavier than petrol cars if they’re not on a bespoke EV platform or designed poorly. Slightly heavier than petrol cars if they’re designed properly.

Eg a Model 3 and a Toyota Camry are the same weight and almost identical dimensions.

It’s weird to me the weight thing keeps coming up when discussing EVs but not the petrol cars which have been growing bigger and heavier for years.

AppleTV+ ($14.99, Amazon Prime Video ($10.99) and Disney+ ($14.99) = $40.97 per month

YouTube Premium = $39.99 per month

I can’t justify premium. For the same price I can buy for my family:

AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+

Or:

YouTube but without ads

Don’t complain or they might switch to a blister pack.

I threw Ubuntu 24.04 in a VM it’s been a few years since I’ve used it.

I was unpleasantly surprised.

I’ve been with Tidal since. I miss the Spotify recommendation algorithm but that’s it.

Two to three times what Spotify pay artists per stream.

I have a front loader that takes anything from 1.5 - 3 hours depending on water temperature, load size etc.

It may tell me 2 hours when I start it, and still be going 2 hours 20 minutes later.

The dryer next to it is even worse when it comes to guessing duration, so having a notification pop up next to me is helpful.

Mine does too but can run up to 45 minutes over time depending on how it adjusts the load, water temp etc.

The dryer is a sensor heat pump dryer so I have zero idea whether it’s going to take 30 minutes or 2 hours.

It’s a feature I find useful, I can isolate it on my network and I didn’t pay extra for it.

Seems weird to be defending it.

The laundry is next to the garage and I work from the exact opposite end of the house.

Is also a front loader that’s pretty quiet even when spinning.

I have my washer and dryer on an isolated network. It’s actually useful to be able to tell if they’re done without walking to the other end of the house to check.
