I remember reading a presser about how this cloud vendor was using robots for all kinds of tasks in their datacentre and it was super efficient because automation. But it never actually happened. They still have humans racking servers. The last 10% is hard.

There’s a bunch of legislation and case law saying that searches are OK within x (50?) miles of a border crossing which covers something like 90% of the population because they count international airports.

So it might get sticky for the person.

SpaceX will be worth more than Earth if we achieve our goals," stating without evidence that his extremely far-fetched prediction was "obviously true."

Musk has been spending too much time with a sycophantic ego stroking LLM.

You think a free to read website is going out and buying $200,000 (and up) cars every day for a 2 week review?

Even at the height of automotive print journalism there wasn’t budget for that.

Ferrari is famous for cutting access to critical journalists. Most companies expect a blend of positive and negative reviews and lend cars to any credible outlet. American automotive media has typically been pretty bad about the PR regurgitation, but that’s a choice they’re making - hiring people to read the PR, not to write their own.

I’ve learned recently, by buying pozi head screwdrivers, that they’re not so bad. But it is unnecessary. Torx or Robertson please.

If you’re referring to the dish purchase, they’re free these days. But even so, when your competitor is $200-500 upfront for a latent multi hop WISP topping out at 30 or 50mbps for $100 per month, a solid 300mbps for $130 and $1000 for a dish is cheap

We’re still using dot-com fibre. There’s a long ROI.

Starlink is extremely competitive for rural customers, due in no small part to the USA’s extreme reluctance to make telecoms with monopolies actually reach people.

I don’t think that’s really the issue, it’s the streaming that really does them in.

On one hand you have Netflix trying to cram 4k through and the neighbour is trying to have a phone call.
