I have less of an issue with that. The other two issues were more important to me. You can’t win them all

Missouri is my home state. I am glad this passed. Everyone should have the right to make their own decisions about their body.

Also, minimum wage increases seemed to have passed as well.

Meant that as what about they could store.

Why I know. Go play it and you’ll see how they did it.

I am curious who said. You know am audio take will create a great experience.

Using a tape drive is crazy when you think about it. It was slow…. This wasn’t the big tape cartridges. It was a standard Audio tape. Not sure why they could store but it was all sequential

I think it was just a limit of how quick everything ran back then. Also, this was an IBM system that was checked, double-checked, and triple-checked because it was a mission-critical system. IBM used to be known for quality hardware. Hard to imagine because they are such a crap company now but that was the equivalent of a google back then.

My first pc had a tape drive.

It isn’t a disk driver since the OS is not loaded yet. It is the hardware identifying each disk in the SCSI chain. Not sure what else it was doing walking the bus much I know finding all the disk was the longest part.

I think mine takes like 2 minutes. It’s ten years old. I’ve putting off upgrading to the cost of videos cards

I will date myself. These machines had a lot of memory as well which added to the slow reboot. I think it was 16 gigs.

The r series for IBM took forever. The p series was faster but was still slow

The more disk you had, the longer it took. It walked the scsi bus which took forever. So if you had more disk. It took even longer.

Since everything was remote, you’d have to call hands and they weren’t technical. Also no cameras since it was the 90’s.

Now when I restart a vm or container. I panic if it’s not back up in 10 minutes.

In the old days some of the servers took at hour to reboot. That was stressful when you couldn’t ping it at an hour.

ditto

The default for acquisitions should be no. Too many large companies buying small companies.

It’s lemmy. Most people don’t get a small business is often tradesmen, the local restaurant down the street or that weird quirky store in your neighborhood.

They’re also the ones struggling hard right now. I’m no fan of Harris but based on the limited article, I support the idea.

We need to make it easier for the average person to start a business and have some prosperity.

I seek out small locally owned businesses as often as I can.

It was the model for a very long time. It was all about renting excess capacity. It was a brilliant move. It wasn’t till much more recently people turned it into a business by buying properties just to air bnb.

The original model I liked. You have an adu? Rent it for spare cash. Rent a spare room. Etc. it didn’t impact supply and let a lot of people earn a little cash. It wasn’t a business. It was an accessory. Now it’s a business.

I stopped using air bnb. I use to use them for more obscure places that didn’t have hotels. I don’t like they take homes out of the market. I get for vacation areas this is less of an issue but for places like ny city, San Francisco, etc it’s taking homes out of use.

I hate the cleaning fee. It’s become obscene.

Just everything about the model bothers me now.

It could be all of the above. It is hard to say with Trump. I agree the SS has a job to do and after their last screw up, they are being overly cautious

Sounds like SS told him that. He said security doesn’t want us here.

Pre-911 I bet the number was even lower. We didn’t need one to go to Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean.
