This is absolutely bullshit, how did we let America become so hateful. At this point, I’m embarrassed to be American.

I understand the sentiment and what they are trying to accomplish. But the reality is this will encourage people to move to pirating content instead.

Great way to find services you really don’t need to be running.

Well that’s annoying, hasn’t happened at my Costco yet but I may have to get coffee somewhere else if they do that at my store.

Costco is my go-to place for coffee, and they still have them. However, I don’t use them, I bought a burr grinder. I prefer grinding the coffee beans right before brewing.

I mean, this is how you get me to stop buying Kindle books.

I work for a company that handles this In a few ways. We set up read replicas to handle large read queries. To offload the reads from the primary server. Data is replicated to the read replicas so reporting can be run from that server. And not add load to the primary server.

The second approach is sharding. Sharding breaks a large table into smaller, more manageable chunks, distributing them across systems. This reduces the burden on any one server, improves performance, and enables scaling out as data or traffic increases.

You’re thinking of a Rectenna.

I never use the ports on my laptop. It never bothered me that they removed them all. Granted I know that’s just my use case I can t speak for everyone.

A client of mine pays for an SSL cert he doesn’t even use. I’ve told him before I moved him to Let’s Encrypt because I was able to automate the renew process. He decided he needed to continue paying for the SSL cert. I told him we are not using it, but he doesn’t believe me. So he continues to pay for it.

My partner and I wanted one. We test-drove a Model Y and Model 3. We were fully ready to buy one for our next vehicle. That’s changed. We are looking at other EVs now. I won’t give him my money.

No shit, she handed him his ass on a platter. He won’t do that again.

AppleTV client at some point?
