I still have a zillion cards obsoleted by automation! I'll be using them as scratch paper forever.

Hmm, looks like there’s something in the wastebasket, wonder what it could be…

Has anyone had a "this is the best TV show I've ever watched" experiences in the last 5 years?

shaun,

@theshaunwalker
Dunno about best, but I thought the Jack Ryan series (from Amazon) was brilliantly done. Cast, writing, plots, effects, all solid. I think “best” to me will forever be The X-Files, though.

Heads up: Red Hat Enterprise on cloud computers Pricing is going up. RHEL instances will now cost more on AWS, GCP, Azure etc. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-enterprise-linux-scalable-pricing-cloud-partners-announcement You may consider another Linux distribution, such as Debian or even , to save money and simplify licensing requirements.

Doesn't the Netflix fleet run FreeBSD? I figure they know a thing or two about server use.

My dinosaur just threw up in its mouth a little.

Long story short, Mozilla found that they had just Too Much Money from the firehose of cash that Google had been spraying at them as antitrust-enforcement insurance, so to launder that money, they...

Don't fall for firms pushing "voice verification" bypasses.

A suggestion. If a firm you deal with offers to sign you up for a "voice verification" service that bypasses PINs, passwords, etc., you would be wise to decline. There are increasing reports of online AI voice generators being used to defraud customers via these systems. And the situation is likely to only be getting worse.

Aha. Maybe this one will work (it's the same clip).

We live in a country where health insurance corps make billions exploiting the sick with unaffordable medicine, spike their insurance premiums, & deny their claims—& then use those ill gotten gains to fund politicians they know won't hold them accountable.

It's no wonder that out of all developed nations globally, the USA spends double per capita on healthcare—yet has lower life expectancy, higher maternal mortality, & higher infant mortality.

We need guaranteed universal healthcare. Period.

Preach! I spent hours today compiling an appeal for six claims Cigna didn't pay. Their "Find Care" portal says my doctor is in-network, but every EOB they mail me says that same doctor is an out-of-network provider and they won't pay. Dr. Schrodinger, I guess. It's infuriating.

There was an alarming amount of porn being recorded on other boats out on the lake today.

No, I don’t know where the threshold is between a normal amount and an alarming amount is.
