  • Everything based on the bottom line

    Using azure.

    Pick one! I know why they’re a full Microsoft organisation, you’re already using office and exchange, so 365 makes sense, then teams makes sense, then may as well have some sharepoint storage, power platform is snazzy, and then oops we’re full azure hosted. I get why, it’s very convenient, has some good ecosystem integration benefits for the user and all the rest, but it certainly isn’t cheap.

    Anyway, I’m sorry they’re kicking Linux and trashing years of hard work. That really sucks. Sadly new job time I think. But that’s easier said than done these days. Best of luck!


  • “Joe Biden has the most progressive policies of the last decade” - incredible.

    I can think of zero politicians with a further left policy platform than Joe Biden. Think of all his progressive moves, like allowing the overturn of roe vs wade, Joe Biden who railed against school racial integration policies, Joe Biden author of the 94 crime bill, Joe Biden who continued building the wall, pro union Joe Biden who compelled the train unions to accept the companies deal. Joe Biden who lends his support both materially and in influence to right wing governments in Ukraine and Israel, supporting genocide in the latter. Etc etc. A real hero of the people this guy, fly out the red flag.
















  • Yeah the prospect of throwing down a couple of months rent… for precisely what value add (?) is going to be a hard sell for Apple.

    Yeah you can watch a film, on your own, on a big virtual screen for $3500 rather than watch the tv that you already own in the company of your friends and family for free.

    Or you can use your computer, but with a big floating virtual screen, which is a good thing I guess for $3500, or buy a large real monitor for $100+ dependant on demands, and not wear a heavy dorky headset with limited battery life.

    There is nothing that other tech doesn’t do for cheaper (and often better) even when you combine the price of the multiple products you would have to buy to cover all use cases. Except maybe viewing weird 3D photos… great.

    This product is isolating and antisocial with limited battery and it’s hugely expensive with no good usp. Looks to me like a rare Apple L.
