My company bought a bunch of servers about eight months ago for $20,000 each. Today we got a quote from the same vendor for identical servers and the price was $45,000, almost entirely due to increased DRAM prices because AI ruins everything. There is almost no chance that we will get approval to spend that much.

@gloriouscow I'm not a Rolex type of guy but I'd take one 😆 I don't think anyone even noticed when I hit 25 years at my current company.

Some cybersecurity company spammed me an invitation to an event they are calling "Guns & Cyber" which is being held at a nearby gun range and boy is that a thing I want nothing to do with.

I like the Trogdor-style beefy arm in this screen

@paulrickards@mastodon.social I am definitely with you. I know I am using v15.7, I don't know or care what its code name is.

I just replaced the keyboard on my Thinkpad for the second time. The old one seen here was a little beat up, so it's nice to have a fresh one, but now it feels weird to type.

Searched NetApp knowledge base for information about configuring a particular network parameter. At the top of the search results was an AI answer which helpfully explained what the parameter does (which was pretty much accurate) and the range of allowed values, plus commands to view and modify it. Which would be exactly what I was looking for, if only those commands actually existed. I really can't stand AI trash.

@TechConnectify The high school I went to had a similar Sony projector installed in their "multimedia lab" around 1994. I don't think I ever realized they were CRT based.

@textfiles@mastodon.archive.org Not one antivirus scanner on VirusTotal detects this. How will I scan my Apple II warez 😆

@benjedwards@mastodon.social One time in 1999 I managed to keep a dial-up session established for like 2 weeks straight, until Windows flaked out and I had to reboot.
