I'm sure that USB-A and microusb connectors would last a lot longer if they were unidirectional and didn't require 3 attempted insertions every time.
Dear @Apple, if you had _any_ discount on iPhone 16 Pro in Australia this #BlackFriday, I would be buying three. But alas you don't, so disposable income is going to be spent on other electronics.
Back in 2013 I got myself in trouble (with my CEO when I worked at a different company) for saying that "Peak Cloud" was coming, when we would go from a growth market to a churn market. We haven't got there yet, but it's on the horizon.
There's something quite freeing when you delete your personal AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure accounts.
Really @Aussie_BB ?!? Second price rise in 6 months? for a total of 12.5% increase? The annual inflation rate is not 25%. NOT cool.
I'll now be examining your competitors to find a better deal. This is not how you treat your customers.
I’m kind of sick of results being decided by umpiring decisions #AFL

Why does a “flat white” taste so much better in a wide but shallow cup? (As opposed to a narrow but tall cup). I feel this is a PhD thesis in the making.
Unexpected consequence from today's AI: Student essays are now written by AI bots, only to be graded using AI bots by their teachers.

Today a new laptop was delivered by courier. Taking it out of the unsealed box it was powered on and at a provisioning lock screen. Needless to say it was pretty hot and the battery was almost flat. Not a good start.
Home Assistant Christmas Hack #114: Trigger the Christmas lights based on the presence on the wifi of the household member's phone who demands the lights be on all the time.
Having the feels today, it's been 4 years since the Open Infrastructure Summit Shanghai - the last one I went to.
Having fun with #python
> x = y = {}
> print(x,y)
{} {}
> x['a'] = 6
> print(x, y)
{'a': 6} {'a': 6}
# Makes sense, but probably not what you want
> for c in ['x', 'y']: globals()[c] = {}
> print(x,y)
{} {}
> x['a'] = 6
> print(x, y)
{'a': 6} {}
# Not sure my solution helps :)
