MS has much better privacy for licensed customers. It’s well documented and in their MSA.

It’s basically gmail. It’s a web/email server that you give your creds over to . It has an offline mode that I guess makes it an app.
Yeah they read your shit.

- Comment on 11 INTRIGUING ENGINEERING MILESTONES TO LOOK FOR IN 2024 10 months ago:
Yeah this is a bad idea. Like all other appliances, it’s easier to simply subsidize energy improvement projects such as running electrical to the kitchen and panel upgrades.

Hi, it’s me with my rural community that doesn’t have service at all.

Rural Iowa has phone lines and can easily put up p2p wireless as long as it’s above the tree line . It’s also easy to trench cable through most of the state . I used to live there.
Many places in the US are much more difficult.
Verizon offered me 3mbps/1mbps dsl for $60/mo 4 years ago and it was their best and only option. I had their LTE service and it was flakey due to mountain interference and distance from tower. Two p2p wireless services exist but 1 had 20% packet loss across all of their customers and after 2 years still refused to fix it and the other was offering single-digit speeds for $100+ per month.
Verizon put up a sign 3 years ago that said “high speed internet coming soon!” The sign has since deteriorated and blew away. It’s symbolic.
The fcc needs to support LEO so that areas like mine are serviced. Starlink doesn’t compete with any other terrestrial service. It’s for the people that don’t have another option, and there are a lot.

I love shitting on Elon but starlink is one of the most important things that has come out of the US. It made remote work possible for thousands. It provided real internet access for so many rural areas. The FCC needs to fix this.
- Comment on AMD says overclocking blows a hidden fuse on Ryzen Threadripper 7000 to show if you've overclocked the chip, but it doesn't automatically void your CPU's warranty 11 months ago:
They only have that option if you run the cpu outside of design spec. Rambunctious o/c’ers no longer get a free replacement at AMD’s expense, and helps amd figure out if there’s a problem with cpus if they are failing and are not o/c’d.

Can you name one peer that manages Citrix hypervisor?
- Comment on Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners 11 months ago:
I tasked my VAR to find out what our pricing is going to look like in 2024 when our support agreement is up. They said VMware is a mess right now, do t expect a response soon. I need time to migrate and decide if I’m sticking with on-prem or moving god damn workloads to some cloud. This is a fucking shitshow. I fucking hate shareholders.
- Comment on Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners 11 months ago:
So many companies can’t do this.
- Comment on Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users 11 months ago:
Sounds just like the idea that governments can retrieve metadata from phone calls without much hassle.
I’m not sure there is much you could do to get around this on iOS besides disabling push notifications in your app.

- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
EVs will sell when non-hybrid ICEs aren’t being made anymore.
Non-hybrid ICEs will have quite the demand while that’s happening and dealers can expect to be able to rip people off again while it’s happening.
