IIRC...

Genesís didn't work out all that well on Star Trek.

Anyway, millions, that sounds like English amounts of cash. Suppose the billions are reserved for gold plated toilets for his royal arse.

At least they'll learn to count...

(current year -17 (16+1 just in case) = boobies

I read a Google "vibe coding" gush-agrada thing last night...

In the end some "associate" bloke had "vibe coded" an html front end using Google's latest and greatest, that looked like it had crawled out of a Contoso example from 1999. No back end, thank God although Google reckons that's soon. The whole thing looked like a non functioning joke nailed into GitHub and lurking on Google Cloud.

I think we're safe.

I think the clue's in the name...

BOOM.... What you get if you run an untested engine at high speed, 24hrs a day.

This is all getting silly.

FFS, don't tell Elon...

he'll have us all plugged into Neuralink on a $9.99 a month subscription (includes free access to X) and then flogging on the 99% unused compute power to this bloke.

Brrrrrr....

Maybe...

the EC was showing it had a humerous side?

having just asked CoPilot about me...

I think I'll pass...my god I've had an exciting life and some of the humorous quotes attributed to me are hilarious...pity I never said them. Or maybe I did and can't remember. Maybe I've got a medical condition, I'd better ask CoPilot.

"AI" is shite.

Why don't they do a kids' program...

Clippy and Co.... get 'em while they're young.

Well I'm shocked...

Gartner actually said something useful.

I use the "I've forgotten it" method

so I phone the eg bank and get them to send me a physical letter with a new pass whatever, then I use that once and then I forget it again. Seems to work although it's a bit slow, but it saves me have to store it anywhere.

England and Wales...

is not the UK, it is a country called England and Wales. They couldn't think of anything better at the time.

Sonic and Mario questing for coins.

Gets my euphemism of the year award.

Sounds familiar...

Ah the old "out of the frying pan and into the fire" data strategy. I feel like placing a bet on the final cost and delay. Wonder what odds I'll get at the bookies?

oh noes...

are they going to fit an on/off switch, so they can switch it off and on again...?

PaaS

from the diagram it looks like Pasta as a Service, specifically spaghetti.

It's not really porn though is it...

more big time upskirting, which is a criminal offence, whatever your age.

meh

so my internet connection didn't go down and latency went up a bit for a few days. If I was playing Fortnite or whatever in an RV I might have a cow, but apart from that....

can we fill them with...

AI and chuck them at the sun. Things have changed a lot in the last few years. 2 years ago Starlink was great for the woods, but now I can get a solar powered outdoor router for 70€, a 64Gb a month sim for 7.90€ a month, a 1km HaLow bridge with WiFi hotspot for 69€, so I don't need Starlink at 40€ a month anymore. As for speed 300mbps was fast enough, so I don't see any need to gigabit. Any industrial use case will use cable, so unless this is for Amazon flying their drones I can't see who would use it. All starlink has to do is go full direct to cell and amazon is pretty much stuffed.

Given it's MS...

are they going to call the whilole shebang The Clusterfuck?

Show them a picture of a bald, fat bloke with high BP...

with the caption "you in 10 years".

Feeling smug...

just had 1Gb symmetrical fibre installed in my village house in Spain.

19.99€ a month.

hate to be the pedant but ..

lbf? Last boyfriend, last before first? Will the thing be carrying bushels of corn and rivets?

MS clusterfuck....

They've just buggered "move to folder" in their Outlook email app on Android so I wouldn't trust this bunch of idiots to cut my toenails... oh yeah and you need Android 10 to run it from January 2026 so bye bye. I'm not changing an OS because they can't code anymore.

You can get WIfi HaLow stuff...

with a 3km range inc your own personal wifi hotspot for 250$ for hub and receiver... you can get anything from China ... oh wait.

So....

flappy bird was useful for something.

It's all getting a bit silly

It's becoming obvious that the architecture cannot support the required level of corporate greed. Clouds are a bit smelly.

Bunch of runts

feel press to change the first consonant.

Maybe....

they were waiting for win 10 kit to become old stock so they could get them cheap.

pmsl.

including knife detection technology,"

didn't that used to be called cops?

I keep a win 10 laptop

for state admin purposes. digital certs, electronic signing crap etc because the state software is so shit. Yesterday on one state website help page I read that their customer facing web stuff when you actually want to do something serious only works under Internet Explorer and I had to install that!

If it's a "modern" website it works on windows with edge or chrome.

So today I'm away to install Edge on Mint .Wish me luck.

inadvertent tenant configuration change

That's got to be up there with involuntary conversion in terms of spoken suit shite

These are much more fun

no AI but you get rc

at the end of the day...

the taxman will see all transactions ( in and out) against your digital id and I understand those tax types can count.

Just saw a thing on the news here...

US AI data centres chew through more power in an hour than France uses in a day or something.

Those meeting summaries had better be worth it.

Broad con

They're not really doing themselves any favours are they?

Consumer trust and transparency are top priorities

My arse

Must admit I'm confused...

you would have thought by now that copilot would have worked out that the the highest probability words that come after "copilot" are "fuck" followed by an "off" .... and did just that.

I'd better start breeding more hamsters

This is getting ridiculous. If you're waiting 3 years for a gennie, AI will have taken over the planet by the time you get it and Ai will feed you to it to keep itself alive.:-)

The more I read about this the...

more I think Jesus H Christ... spaghetti architecture.

Might save them 46 mins but...

everytime I contact the bank it takes at least 46 minutes off my life.

17:16 CET

Still up and down like a hooker's knickers.

I photocopied my bum once...

I got a spot but no virus.

err...glass houses, throwing stones etc

Dear Reg....

Much as I love reading about another MS clusterfuck, can you please do something about the manic survey infesting your pages?

The more you scroll, the more it scrolls. Quite fun for a little bit but then it gets tedious real fast.
