The unlimited was actually capped at 1PB


That honestly looks terrible. It's like their developers haven't heard about fluid design. Why is it only using 40% of the page for actual content, even after I collapse the annoying sidebar. They'd be much better off with a navbar with dropdowns, or fewer links using a hierarchical structure.


Why would that not be abused as a means of political oppression? You could just sue your opponents and it would be guilty until proven innocent.


Suing and the associated guilty until proven innocent threat absolutely are abused in politics and in every day life.


Arch and Alpine are the best distros in my opinion, however for most people Manjaro is going to be a much easier introduction to understanding the installation process. Package management is so much easier and you can also use whatever app sandbox technologies you want.


Sounds exactly like Kubernetes with all the vendor lock-in you desire.


There is an amount of lock-in with any Cloud workload though right? IAM, billing, support? If you are bought into containers (which quite a lot of people are) it doesn't seem like incredible lock-in from technology PoV when Fargate and Cloud Run exist?


Seems more like Cloud Run to me. A modest amount of vendor lock-in if you're only interested in running compute workloads, and the usual ton of vendor lock-in that is inherent to any effective cloud usage if you want to go all in with IBM Cloud.

It actually impresses me so far. I've got a soft spot for IBM Cloud given that its origin is creating a public cloud out of open source projects and giving back to them. Their serverless offerings so far have been lackluster though. IBM Cloud Functions, based on Apache OpenWhisk, which they created and open-sourced, has a weird programming model.

But this seems like Cloud Run except it also has support for Docker images on any registry (not just GCR) and can run batch jobs up to 2 hours long. I'm going to keep an eye on it.


You can send me an email if you want to chat with the people building the service.


Appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't know what to ask yet. I'm still pretty junior in the grand scheme of things. I plan to just keep an eye on how it develops.


If they made a way to configure it using YAML I'd be tempted to switch.


Are you ok with steps in between? A puppet module is there https://forge.puppet.com/puppetfinland/thunderbird

I'm sure you could find one for ansible and other frameworks out there.


Cool, but at that point I would probably just stick with what I have until it can be natively supported, or see if their current config is easy to template myself.


Pretty cool, but you'd think they would just have a Dockerimage ready to be deployed and a network driver or something similar for these types of challenges.


When the specs are the same or better on a phone that is $400 less you can actually afford to buy a new Google every 3 years and still save money.


Better specs for $400 less, on a Pixel? Name one phone built to last with better specs than the iPhone SE please, I'm listening. I don't care about multiple cameras, OLED displays, 120 Hz or whatever the industry is trying to push these days, I just want a reliable decently built phone with a good SW support. Furthermore, I don't see how replacing the phone more often would be a positive thing, it just means I would produce more trash.


Yes, have you seen the Pixel 4a? I got a Razer Phone 2 when they first came out for $399. It blows away most iPhones, especially in that price range.


The SE 2020 is using the A13 chip which is about double the performance of the best snapdragon soc available right now. There doesn't exist an android phone with specs comparable to the SE.


You previously said "the specs are the same or better for $400 less", but the A13 in the SE blows away the Snapdragon 730 in the Pixel 4a and the price difference is only $50.


Absolutely, lots of people are loyal to certain brands or look for the best value/spec in Android devices and make their choice based on that. If people didn't care, everyone would be buying $50 Android devices. Most people I know now even look at the version of Android it comes with.


The game wouldn't even run for like the first 5 days because they required BIOS updates from manufacturers for the game to even work.


The game regularly crashed for me 4 months after release, to the point where I stopped playing it.


Does that mean the game is using the TPM or similar for its DRM?


I wouldn't associate the mess that was motherboard firmware around launch with anything but AMD. The firmware didn't even boost the CPU right either.


I have an Intel SKU and I couldn't launch the game for 2 months after release.


Because of BIOS issues?


I updated the BIOS and nothing changed. After a few months they fixed it.


It was due to needing a specific version of AGESA, which also has to do with security and was likely related to DRM, hence why the game wouldn't boot.
