Completely disagree. This last March, Microsoft changed the storage limit per user on OneDrive for education from 1TB to 100GB, and users either had to delete a ton of files or pay for increased license/space. We ended up standing an on-prem file server back up shortly thereafter because we could not get our users and faculty to delete research data and could not afford to nearly double our cost expenditure. In my experience doing IT budget for years, cloud has meant that you cannot predict your yearly expenditures, Especially if you use your services that are funded in part by venture capital. Let’s say you start using some cool research presentation project and suddenly the economy dips and they lose funding, the cost goes way up. Life cycle management has gone completely out the toilets in my experience with cloud products.

Cloud. Businesses went all in on cloud under this illusion of stable costs, but costs go up and contol/support have gone down, and I’m seeing businesses spin on-prem back up.

Man if she has the proof, she should show it then ask him to prove he had bone spurs.

I just don’t know who this movie is for. Slapping a plot on a sandbox game aimed at a wide audience is weird. Leaning heavily into the Legends content is reducing the appeal. The IRL people in weird outfits make it feel like they slapped a Jumanji template on the Minecraft IP, which is a bad sign. I don’t see the appeal of this other than “I like Minecraft, therefore I will spend money on anything Minecraft related.” I don’t see an indication of a plot, the characters don’t seem special (Jack Black is Jack Black, Jason Momoa is Jason Momoa). I just don’t it.

For real…I don’t care about poker but when Hila went on her run I was so hooked!

It’s a different device. Already, the existing google tv workflow is different than the chromecast, which was phone control first. Now, it brings up an app which favors navigation with the remote. If I want a set top box, I’ll put a kodi box in…I wanted a dumb dongle which could be controlled from a phone. It’s fundamentally a different product.

My hope is that casting decouples as a concept from being a google protocol. Even though Amazon is backing it now, I hope MatterCast can become an open casting standard. My vision is having MatterCast be an installable add-on to Kodi, and then an ultra-light image can be made for super low-end devices supporting audio and video (or both).

Edited by user. I was offered no severance.

Sounds like the plan, I am not going to respond.

I think that’s the best sketch they’ve ever put forth, Pigsaw is a legend.
