In millions 2021 revenue: 75,325 2022 revenue: 76,048

Revenue is neither stagnant nor decreasing. Only reason to reduce pay and headcount is to increase profit at the employee’s cost. All corporations will get to an operational standpoint that reducing costs through better process and materials is no longer feasible and the only avenue to increased profits is to begin extracting wealth from the employee’s via layoffs and salary reduction.

They’s 2.75 years more than next quarter, and that’s as far as the horizon is for publicly traded companies.

Overdraft fees could drop to as low as $3 under new Biden proposal (apnews.com)

The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop to as little as $3 under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck....

How I left Bank of America:

My previous paycheck had $350 in overdraft fees that came out of my current check. Because I had automatic deposit for my paychecks they allowed for borrowing against your next paycheck.

I borrowed $500 to cover the $350 in fees they stole from me plus a $150 service as compensation for my pain and suffering, withdrew all my money, cancelled automatic deposit, and walked away.

I’m sure they sent it to collections, but looking back on it 20 years later: still worth any damage to my credit rating.

Technically speaking, RAID is redundancy not backup. A proper backup is an archived copy of the data stored not stored in the same logical infrastructure as the primary data.

With a RAID you can swap in a new drive if one (or more, depending on your RAID#) drive in your RAID array dies. If enough of your redundancy in a RAID fails, you will lose data.

With a proper backup you can restore the entirety of the RAID array even if the original data has been physically destroyed.

That’s going to have to wait. In my 40s now, and still waiting for the “when you grow up you’ll be conservative” to happen.

You just happened to get a reply from a former backup engineer who has had to explain this concept to customers.

Something else in the backup world that gets regularly misused: backups != disaster ecovery.

Disaster recovery is a whole plan of action. Backups can be a part of DR, yes, but I have had way too many companies consider their backups as the totality of their DR.

I know of several very large companies that still use tape backups. Granted they’re not like the cassette tapes we used back in the 20th century, but it is still the same tech.

Those tape libraries are more akin to zip/jaz drives.

I know you’re joking but, related: I tried opening a Webex meeting on my phone which told me to download the app. App downloaded, try to open meeting, app opens…and then opens the meeting in Firefox.

I really hate apps that could be a website (hint: most of them).

I may never recover from my outrage over the unfloofiness of this situation.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users (www.404media.co)

Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

And yet they used to turn a profit. Until Republicans passed a law requiring them to prefund retirements for 75 years out with the USPS Fairness Act. Fairness Act, which imposes this burden on the USPS while no other federal agency (or private business) is required to prefund retirement benefits…quite fair.

If it’s a good story you want, I’d recommend Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone.

Makes you wonder what dirt Mossad has on any of our politicians.

Which in a roundabout way is an argument for term limits; higher turnover provides less opportunity for skeletons to pile up in closets to compromise any vestigal integrity they have after becoming a politician.
