also: "after the pandemic..." in the article is... as you know laughable and misleading.

Microsoft Teams will start snitching to your boss when you’re not in the office — and this update is coming in December Teams will start tracking office attendance and yes, your boss will know

they really want to keep people in little cubicles despite it being counterproductive and increasingly pointless.

moral of the story for cloud providers: don't spam DNS changes (some of you do it every 10-20 seconds!).

The disconnect is absolute. Dissociation, dislocation of logic. Obtuseness and obfuscation are rampant.
If you want to avoid getting covid, do wear a respirator. More so if you are a HCW, as you should know about airborne transmission.

yes but CDN/cloud services often spam DNS changes based on their server load. sometimes every 30 seconds. (which I find excessive)

All modern digital infrastructure is a precariously balanced pile held up by a project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003

It seems to be time to post this again:

Amazon Cloud Outage Reveals Democratic Deficit in Relying on Big Tech | TechPolicy.Press The AWS outage demonstrates the need for a fundamental shift in how we think about digital infrastructure, write Corinne Cath and Don Le.

je me disais bien qu'il fait un peu doux pour la saison

oh btw I don't really buy the DNS explanation fully. there was indeed a DNS problem but I think that's only the tip of the iceberg

this is why I don't consider the current internet to be the internet proper.
the internet was designed for redudancy and reliability, which involves distributing the load. instead we now have waaaay too many things depend on a few companies/locations.

vibe coding ftw!

wanna bet they are going to blame china?

On vit dans ce monde où on déplore de pas pouvoir ventiler les parfums d’ambiance dans les lieux partagés, mais aucun problème pour respirer des pathogènes qui handicapent et tuent sans limite. En option eucalyptus violette, ce serait moins commode de laisser ses enfants condamner leur santé.

war era propaganda aesthetics. AI gen'd too (look at the "cranes")

so in recent Win11 updates they somehow fucked up:
- bootloader (reported by various people I know, mild issue with system with secondary USB drives connected)
- USB Keyboard/Mouse support in recovery mode
- Killed some SSDs
- Fucked with localhost

Windows 11's October update just broke the Windows Recovery Environment — USB keyboards and mice unusable in Windows RE after latest bug hits Another week, another OS-breaking bug.

I keep seeing people fretting about EOL for Win10 and what to do about it... the solution is simple: keep windows 10 as is, its not going anywhere for a while yet. (you can also install linux if you are more techie)
