Naw, I honestly hold respect for what Bezos has done - repurposing / expanding his ecommerce infrastructure for PaaS, contact center, PSTN calling, etc. etc. Brilliant direction, damn effective so far. That said, Microsoft’s Azure cloud makes more sense for a security-focused MSFT shop running AD, Office, Intune MDM,…

Butt plugs aren’t included in Prime 2-day shipping.

Bezos can Fuck Right Off on this one. He’s probably not wrong, process probably had some bias, but this commenter don’t care. AWS has a pretty unfair advantage in the cloud market - economies of scale based on existing ecommerce infrastructure. Competition is good, and bolstering Microsoft’s cloud is a smart move -…

I assume Tesla has a crazy level of security around their most valuable data - air gaps, hardware security keys, crazy level of monitoring and reporting.. If so, you’re not going to digitally hack your way in - can only be through a socially hacked user with the right level of access. Potential returns justify the…

Yup - 2020 forecast is $5B, which is probably conservative. To your point on pandemic impact:

That’s a LOT of money for Epic

Mate, I see no room for argument in this position. The Epic Apple Hate appears grounded, for the most part, in the concept that Cupertino can afford not to charge their going rates, or apply them more benevolently perhaps. This will likely be the root of an Epic failure. And, dear god, please stop me from dropping…

I disagree - it’s not “perfectly fine to just say I have no fucking idea who’s in the right here”.. it’s mandatory. Anti-trust law is indeed complicated and definitely requires lawyers to sort out - but I’ll posit the legal outcome doesn’t necessarily equate to winner=right, loser=wrong.. The verdict may be binary,…

Interesting point re: the dev/app benefit - just ask Microsoft how successful a mobile platform is without any friggen apps (answer: 0% successful).

This is one of those ‘Very Complicated Topics’ that I’ve flip-flopped on several times as it plays out. In summary:

tl;dr:

Pretty ‘meh’ overall - but Fucking Terrible on a widescreen monitor. If you are wondering where FB wants you to spend time, look no further than the icons above your feed: Home, Videos, Groups, and Gaming - ads and sponsored content revenue galore.

Slack’s desperate. Complaining about ‘bundling’ as an anticompetitive tactic is based on an outdated view of Microsoft products - Active Directory, Exchange, Office, Skype for Business, and SharePoint have been replaced by Office 365. Vast majority of Microsoft’s enterprise base (well over 2/3rds) buy O365. It is the…

Yep, read the article, brain got stuck on ‘5-10 days build time’. Totally right - in context that was referring to factory build time, not home assembly time. Duh, and editorial comment rescinded.

Well, at least he won’t have an orgasm with her - betting at least one of those three screens will be streaming Pornhub in 4k full time.

Do you like abstinence? Because that’s how you get abstinence. 

Yeah, Joanna should update that. My last build was a gaming rig for my kiddo (Jan this year, $3,500 fully maxed fwiw) - longest build ever = 7 hours. First inverted build with a BeQuiet case - required a complete case disassembly, reassembly, a few start/stops getting the cooler installed on the ‘upside down’ mobo,…

Sadly, now we have to get to the P40 Pro’s biggest weakness, its lack of support for Google apps and Google Mobile Services.

The XM3 mic isn’t awesome but it’s not as awful as some people say.
