Hey, I heard Boeing is hiring assassins. It’s in high demand!

- Comment on After 114 days of change, Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related “unease” 1 month ago:
It’s not panic. We already have direct connects to AWS and Azure. It’s something we’ve been working on for five years now.

My job estimated our VMware cost will be 10 times more expensive. We’re moving to the cloud as soon as possible.
- Comment on Japan government accepts it’s no longer the ’90s, stops requiring floppy disks 3 months ago:
So, let me tell a little story from a couple of months ago. We were migrating a big system and we discovered that it was still sending fax to some destinations. We still have a fax server running. The way it works is that we send an email to <faxnumber>@fax.mycompany.com and it will send the fax to that number.
So, we contacted the destinations and some declared that they didn’t even had faxes anymore. BUT, a few others still had them and, what a surprise, it was a fax server that would receive the fax… and transform it in an email!
Of course, we changed those services and retired the fax server.

- Comment on Starfield will get city maps and "new ways of traveling" next year 4 months ago:
All I ask is a vehicle, like the Mako. And new structure maps. And more enemies. And making enemy outposts useful. And fewer loading screens. And better ship construction.

- Comment on No More Will to Play 5 months ago:
It’s not trash. I like roaming around “exploring”. It’s just that it would be nice to have something new from time to time. Once you get to know the types of structures you find, you’ll notice that even the objects are in the same places.

Oh, now, they’re there but the ramps are not down, so, why are they even there?
On a side note, can you enter a starborn ship? They’re always inaccessible. (I know we get into one during the main quest, but I’m asking about those that follow us around.)
- Comment on If civilization continues to the year 9999, is the idea to go to year 10.000, or...? 5 months ago:
I was looking at some old pictures of my family and some of them had dates like 921 for 1921 in them. I used to abbreviate 88 for 1988, but I’ve never seen people using 3 digits like that.

Let’s not even talk about the inconsistencies (and sometimes flat out bugs) while exploring. 0% oxygen and a settler appears without a suit. -18 and I get frostbite. -150 and I’m ok with the same suit. And what about sonic boom from a ship landing near me when there’s no atmosphere? (I get, a game without sound in space is just bad immersion, but still, feels strange) Speaking of landing ships, why the hell do they land near me all the time? Are they following me?

This coffee stain looks like the alien language from the movie Contact. But, on the other hand, all coffee stains do.

Question: in Fallout 4 we could create a circuit of supply lines so we could use all resources available. Is there a way of doing that in Starfield?
- Comment on Whatsapp is going to run terribly... 7 months ago:
I was recently in Brazil and it amazes me how the country adopted the platform. You can do everything in it. And it’s not that you’re always talking to someone on the other side. It’s all automated. Remember those gigantic labyrinths of menus you had to listen when calling a business? Now it’s all in WhatsApp, but with the advantage of being much faster to read. I asked for a service in a company, they gave me a protocol number. When I wanted to check on it, I just had to type the number on WhatsApp and it would tell me if it was ready. So, no need to develop GUI, sites, and so on. Everything is accessible through WhatsApp.
So, I understand why Meta rolled this out and started with Brazil.
In the end, it feels like we made full circle and we’re coming back to the Telnet era of doing business.

Exactly.
- Comment on The truth about santa 7 months ago:
I’d argue that the total number of children that Sant has to give a present is much smaller than the number of children in the world. I’d also argue that he actually has 24 hours to do the job, and not “a night”.
