Man, you never worked for a large corporation that that had internal web based apps that only work on Internet Explorer and refused to update it.


I wonder how this affects people that setup Pi Hole and VPN and all that.




Just 10 years for violating HIPAA? I would thing it would be longer



Not a programmer by any means (haven’t done any since college) but I’ve asked it for help in writing Jira queries or Excel mess and it’s been pretty solid with that stuff.


I think it’s more these companies invested millions into either building the offices or renting them (and can’t get out of the lease) so to make it worth while they’re having people come back.

One of my offices moved to a larger building across the street because there wasn’t enough room for FTEs and contractors to come in 3 days a week. The larger building still isn’t large enough even for just FTEs so they rented a floor of another building and are making contractors go to that building 3 days a week. They’re going to an office to still be remote lol. Talk about stupidity.


It’s about making money for executives and shitting on the employees that do the actual work.


I was impacted and it sucked. Having no cell service for 8-9 hours is not fun. Can’t make or receive calls or texts, every app that requires or uses an internet connection (like Waze) was impacted. Whole Waze worked with directions using offline maps and GPS, you don’t fet stuff like traffic conditions and rerouting.

But when you only have a cell phone and limited wifi resources at the office, it’s a major pain in the butt. And I didn’t report so that 70k could’ve been a conservative number of people that reported.



Biden can come up with the best healthcare plan ever and the GOP won’t approve it because Biden/liberals/Democrats/etc.


And EVs and hybrids have regenerative braking so that does some recharging of the batteries. It’s not going to be stellar, but in stop and go traffic, it could definitely had some miles to range. There’s a lot less stopping on highways.


We rarely watch anything on Prime except for a few original shows like Upload and Reacher. Prime Video is usually an afterthought.
