It’s really not that different than a PC just with a slightly tighter cycle. When you upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, some games lost support too. It’s just that PCs have a much longer compatibility window than phones do.

Thank you for qualifying that. I hate when people immediately go “.255 isn’t a valid address!” It, and .0 very much are if you’re using a /23 or larger.

Potential double (triple) nat issue? Do any other streaming services work?

The bigger trouble is creating a CDN has a stupidly high barrier to entry. You literally need your own data centers across the world, your own server infrastructure, the man power to manage it, etc.

You could try to host it on a cloud provider but you’d go bankrupt even quicker. Unless someone were to try to build a co-op run CDN, it’s just not gonna happen without a profit motive and a large amount of capital.

Just note, OP, that the last part of his statement is pure speculation. The first part is technically true, which can lead to that inference, but no information has been released which corroborates it. However, that does not mean it’s not possible.

Maximum Landing Weight and Maximum Takeoff Weight. Because of the stress put on the airframe when landing you don’t want a heavy plane. It’s easier to control when taking off because it’s smoother. So having the same weight on landing means the airframe will need to be beefed up, or you fly with less overall since more goes to the plane.

Posted this in another chat…

I’ve always been curious how electric planes will address MLW as they scale up. Even if you get similar energy densities and can cover MTOW, you generally count on reducing weight as you use up fuel and are lighter when you land. But with a battery your weight is going to be roughly the same. Will that mean you have to take into account the increased weight and will have less room for cargo/passengers?

VMware went with Purple for their hypervisors so you get a PSOD instead. Always was fun when you’d hit the console for a server and get greeted by that instead of the yellow and black split screen.

Cool cool. Remove oil and gas subsidies and let’s see how much the true TCO is for owners (not manufacturers)

I tend to lean towards neutral good it seems

And why leave them nameless? Name and shame. You can get multiple people asking at that point and apply more pressure.

Only downside is it tends to be a bit behind on feature updates which is probably a good thing. All hardware and software is completely compatible. The other bonus is it gives more fine grained controls over telemetry that home and pro don’t.

I just run Windows 11 Enterprise and don’t see any of this crap

I know others will expand on this, but in the past there were two main “bases”: Debian and Enterprise Linux (EL). The main differences were their package managers and how the handled things in init.d and configuration like networking. This was due to how they made their modules iirc.

So a lot of distros forked off of these two bases rather than reinvent the wheel. Ubuntu is based off of Debian and CentOS based off of RHEL.

There’s probably more nuances but that should give you an idea.

We tried that. It didn’t work. They just said “fuck your feelings”, they said “cry your liberal tears”. Everyone most people tried to take the high road, show that “we’re better than that”. But it didn’t do a lick of good. So I’m gonna enjoy this win and gloat about it.

Yeah I don’t think 2000 gets enough love because it was a server OS but I preferred using it to XP even on my desktop.

My favorite is seeing developers directly reach out to a DB of another microservice because “it’s just easier to pull the data from there”. One of the few times I’ve literally said “bruh”

I’ve been wanting to watch it, but 4 hours seems a bit… overkill. Is there really 4 hours of unique content or does it become repetitive or overly granular?

For fear of being told I’m old, I agree with that. Most all the previous decades has fairly obvious delimiters give or take a couple years. Once the internet and slab phones became ubiquitous it feels like things have melded and stopped changing as rapidly. With fashion we’ve gone cyclical with previous decades coming back in style too.
