All my dead spinners are Seagate. I relish the time a 100TB member drops; will take a gigasecond to rebuild... Horrible

One gets what one pays for. Though, I suppose I too would want a discount if I had to live in FL.

Uh-huh. In what time frame? I see your snark, now for some context...

"The energy output of the Sun has not fluctuated by more than perhaps 0.1% to 0.2% in human history" (Source: Taylor, David; Northwestern University June, 2012)

So, in a ~300,000 years, the sun has not changed luminosity or temperature more that +/- 0.2% of it current value. At most, a 0.000011% change in stellar output from 2014. Are you implying stellar evolution has sped up geometrically?

The .07% in array power output shift in output is more likely due to an increase in dust buildup on the panels or more overcast days.

Network Thermostat. It is expensive. You own it. It is Ethernet. Wired controls, FTW!!!

Big ones either. We are working to, "lower our exposure," to Broadcom's mercurial whims. Now, where can I move ~50K VM's too...

I do it all day every work day across 2-3 continents. One has to be organized and focused. And not prone to whinging.

1 - Brain tumor, that gives him disturbing urges
2 - Undiagnosed mental illness, that gives him disturbing urges
3 - Guilty Conscious of Past Crime - that he yielded to disturbing urges

This study is like looking at the slit, from a particular angle, at a particular time, and saying, look, a particle, and missing the wave. For an atheist, he sure is framing a 'fate' argument. This smacks of intellectual sloth.

Fix will never happen. SCTP is a dumpster fire.

Lol, I was going to snark post that it only took them ~15 years to catch up (sort of) to IBM VIO/AIX/Power...

Look, companies volunteering data for our AI training...

While it is cool that this person was able to poke the Man in the eye, and well deservedly at that, the original article in the Denver Post does come off as a bit entitled and cringe-y. "Oh it is not about the cost, and it would be some many hundred dollars, it is my kid is so super good the time to break a new one in is problematic, and they have to get on another flight for a game far away, but we got one anyway, but I going to show them..."

I read it as they were probably problematic when checking their bag in and were rushing or hassling the counter agent who now had to serve two customers at the same time, and is how these bags got switched.

Yes United needs to do a better job, however, I think this person needs to be better as well, IMHO.

LOL. Maybe that is your contract. MS has two models one is better for organizations that need only a few VM's and the other is better for large enterprises: Per VM or Per Core. The suck side of it though, is the minimum license is 4 cores, in two core increments.

On prem makes this argument go away. For large enterprises especially, it is always less expensive, including the licensing and headcount to maintain it; stop giving away money.

Cloud has its place, as it is great for startups, and low end workloads.

I subscribe to the plan for the number of streams that the household combined uses. Netflix would be better informed if the adopted this strategy. "We do not care who and how many are using your account, just make sure you have subscribed to the right number." The cut off any stream above that number. Problem solved,

That said, this is still less that cable by a factor of 5 or more. Also, I give all the "new" streamers 1-2 years before they are consolidated down to 2, and content starts making its way back to Netflix.
