We have a similar mix, though I was referring to the underlying virtualisation providing their cloud hosting.

Azure runs on windows. Hosts run a modified version of Hyper-V.

At least, they did last I checked.

Toyota were already in my shit list because of their anti electrification lobbying and awful EVs.

This has killed any positive feelings I had left for the company.

Yeah, Lex Luthor is smart…

The solution is to just buy a cheap Brother mono laser printer.

Chances are any colonies will be built underground or in lava tubes to shelter from radiation.

A good example is the 1981 election in New Zealand, where the Labour Party won more votes but the National Party won more seats and formed the government.

Unfortunately yes, it’s huge problem with first past the post systems.

And if each did cost them money - they’ve been paid when the stupid thing was purchased!

Airlines have been doing this for years.

Browser ID say you’re using a Mac? Higher price for you since you must have a higher income.

They were relatively quick to pull the 1.13GHz Pentium III from the market when it turned out to have stability issues from pushing Coppermine too far.

This feels like a repeat of that, but with Intel sticking their heads in the sand and screwing over customers instead.

Much heavier than petrol cars if they’re not on a bespoke EV platform or designed poorly. Slightly heavier than petrol cars if they’re designed properly.

Eg a Model 3 and a Toyota Camry are the same weight and almost identical dimensions.

It’s weird to me the weight thing keeps coming up when discussing EVs but not the petrol cars which have been growing bigger and heavier for years.

NZD.

AppleTV+ ($14.99, Amazon Prime Video ($10.99) and Disney+ ($14.99) = $40.97 per month

YouTube Premium = $39.99 per month

I can’t justify premium. For the same price I can buy for my family:

AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+

Or:

YouTube but without ads

I threw Ubuntu 24.04 in a VM it’s been a few years since I’ve used it.

I was unpleasantly surprised.

I’ve been with Tidal since. I miss the Spotify recommendation algorithm but that’s it.

Two to three times what Spotify pay artists per stream.

I tried Ubuntu again recently for the first time in years.

Between Snaps and having to create an account to get security updates, I quickly gave up on it.

I have a front loader that takes anything from 1.5 - 3 hours depending on water temperature, load size etc.

It may tell me 2 hours when I start it, and still be going 2 hours 20 minutes later.

The dryer next to it is even worse when it comes to guessing duration, so having a notification pop up next to me is helpful.

Mine does too but can run up to 45 minutes over time depending on how it adjusts the load, water temp etc.

The dryer is a sensor heat pump dryer so I have zero idea whether it’s going to take 30 minutes or 2 hours.

It’s a feature I find useful, I can isolate it on my network and I didn’t pay extra for it.

Seems weird to be defending it.
