Amazon continues its mission to be known as the worst employer in big tech with a 5-days a week in the office policy. This definitely fixes the issue of all the near empty buildings they had in Bellevue, WA a year or two ago.

Data centers use too much internet bandwidth, water, electricity, and financial investment dollars that could be better used elsewhere.

They are profligate hogs.

"Gaza’s Ministry of Health on Sunday released a document containing the names and ages of Palestinians killed by Israel’s assault since the Hamas-led October 7 attack, an incomplete list that nonetheless runs 649 pages β€” the first 14 of which are filled with the names of babies.

The list, published to the health ministry’s Telegram account, is limited to those for whom Gaza officials had information β€” over 34,000 people β€” and the count stops on August 31. The current death toll, according to the ministry, is close to 42,000, but experts believe that figure is likely a gross undercount."

It’s rather amusing that this is being touted as if it’s some revolutionary new thing. I’ve been using #mSecure on all my Apple devices for many years. Each of my hundreds of passwords is a 20-char random string of alphanumerics plus $. I create passwords on my Mac, then sync to phone & tablet. For years this has been working great. Good for Apple on catching up.



We have to get over it

These things are just a fact of life
