Google used to be the default because it was good. Now it’s the default because Google pays unfathomable amounts of money in bribes to other companies be the default, which helps cover the fact that they’re deliberately making their product worse because that’s what makes money (rather than solving the problem they used to solve) https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/27/23934961/google-antitrust-trial-defaults-search-deal-26-3-billion

🤏👁️ The Milton Bradley Microvision is the first handheld game console with cartridge-based games from 1979. It has some interesting technological features:

🧠 The console contains only a screen and buttons; the processor is part of the game cartridges.
🔬 The screen has a resolution of 16x16 pixels, which is as small as the tiniest icons on modern computers.
😭 Unfortunately, the screen is not as durable as more modern LCDs, so most Microvision consoles today are non-functional.

This problem isn't new, but it is escalating.
Russia is systematically killing a sizable number of its own troops in its recent offensive, for retreating.

Israel corta las comunicaciones e intensifica los bombardeos sobre la Franja. Netanyahu nos advirtió de que lo hecho hasta ahora no era nada comparado con lo que están dispuestos a hacer.

BTW I apparently got a visit by the 'welcoming committee' of Spoutible. They seem slightly less than friendly that I am attempting to bring my users there and engage with my fans in ways that they are accustomed to for 15 years. Hmmm fascinating methodology to 'build' a social media?

And yes, all Catholics love sex abuse.

"Patrick, people go to Church all the time and they aren't sex abusers."

Correct, but they are knowingly providing material support to sex abusers. Their time and money go to keeping the sex abuse happening

- Summary: A study from the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) has found that California is "hemorrhaging" residents to neighboring states like Arizona and Texas. The population drain includes a greater share of college graduates and residents across all income levels. The study also suggests that California's high cost of living, environmental policies, and potential economic losses could be driving the exodus. However, the study notes that two-thirds of those who left California did not cite politics as a factor in their decision.

Amazon AWS will charge ~$3.6 for every IPv4 address, attached or unattached, starting Feb 1st, 2024.

https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address-charge-public-ip-insights/

Many PaaS companies based on AWS will have to increase their prices big time.

I'm so glad I migrated all AWS projects to a sane IaaS years ago. Hopefully that will teach the industry a lesson or maybe just think the unthinkable: is there an Internet outside AWS?
