I've been away for two months. Did you miss me?

A link to a 2001 article when /. was still relevant. Those were the days!

Nah... I had some contract jobs where I quite literally cleaned out I.T. closets. I even found a $10,000 plasma TV that was "lost" for six years. I've been working computer security at a three-letter agency in government I.T. for the last nine years.

That could explain where all the non-anime porn was coming from on Twitter.

Would that be Python or Go?

Does that mean FortNite will be returning to the iOS Store?

If you think that's funny, Microsoft paid my salary for 25+ years. Windows = job security!

Is it any coincidence that most politicians... oh, I don't know... write the law?

Switched from Google to Microsoft Office 365. If you're going to pay through the nose, might as well get more features.

Apple buys iPhone screens from Samsung (80%) and LG (20%). Every third company that wants to make iPhone screens are more interested in the deal than delivering screens according to spec. If Apple could buy less or not at all from Samsung, they would.

My job requested that IT support staff log off the tool servers at the end of the day instead of disconnecting from their session. Not because we were anxious, stressed out and/or eating poorly. Our day-to-day work does that to us anyway. Nope. Disconnected sessions over time caused a memory leak that would grind the tool servers to a halt.

Not surprising. Apple closed their stores in east Texas since that was the jurisdiction of a patent troll friendly court. Removing the stores removed the justification for filing lawsuits in that particular court.

Or reimaging PCs back to Windows 10 Enterprise because Microsoft made the Windows 11 update available direct to users.

When I was a kid in the early 1970s, Batman and The Three Stooges on the TV were the fears of every kindergarten teacher. We might jump off the top of the slides (we did) and poke each other's eyes out (we tried). I managed to graduate kindergarten with only a few bumps on the noggin.

They already did. Since monkeypox is related to smallpox, the U.S. government has a stockpile of 100 million doses of smallpox vaccine.
