No. They break (even the good ones) and they everyone I know who has bought one sits down all day anyway after about 3 months of fad and blogging about it.
Get up and go and have and amble around once an hour. And have a good walk at lunch or after work. Cheaper and better.
If you get these confused and hurt Robert Smith you should be fired. Stop normalising incompetence!

Too cheap, too expensive and neither necessary or really likely to be any better than anything that we already do. I'll wait both of these out I think.
Bad things should happen at most once. That is the point. To do that you need a culture of improvement which is not evident anywhere I’ve worked in the finance sector.
It’s not a simple mistake. It’s a critically damaging mistake to someone. Any process around such an event requires considerably more competence than what was demonstrated.
In this case their investigation said that the date of birth and last name were matched but the first names were not. This was flagged through by someone who didn’t do their job.
Thats just negligence of duty. I would expect to be minimally fired if I fucked up and hurt someone.
Barclays closed my mother’s bank accounts because they thought she had died. It was a “clerical error” ie someone had received a death certificate and processed it with about as much rigour as a 2 year old could muster.
They sorted it within 5 days though and paid out compensation and sent her a hamper as an apology. Hopefully they fired the moron who kicked off the process too.
At the end of the day this shit happens but this should trigger a full review and pause all destructive outcomes immediately as mitigation. But being Capita I doubt it will happen.
No they are just as bad.
Yeah it’ll be O365 family next.
Then O365 business.
Yeah. I keep a backup disk at a friend’s house.
This is pretty standard in corporations these days. My org did the same. The assumption is that if it’s not in confluence or GitHub then it’s not worth keeping this goes in one drive.
It is quite frankly insane.
Is that the same Microsoft which is throwing money into running environmentally destructive AI workloads as their key business driver?
Slightly but the seller was a vintage book specialist with a physical shop and a good reputation so I was less worried.
Not really. If something stops being convenient for me or a poor ROI I will stop using it. Hence why I now no longer use Amazon or any TV streaming services.
I don't have to participate in a market.
The one simple trick to avoid here is to not be "an artist". Unless you make it big the only thing you're getting out of Spotify and Apple is possibly the easy of distributing a link to your music.
I know a minor band with a few 10's of thousands of Spotify plays and they make 10x more money out of Bandcamp and gigs than they do out of streaming services. And they can't live off that so have day jobs anyway.
The just course of action is both Apple and Spotify destroy their market and we go back to buying mp3s and FLAC files which aren't rent seeking.
eBay!
Read/use 13 of them.
The Phoenix Project is however used as toilet paper. This is a symbolic gesture after working in a very fucked up company who decided the management restructure wasn’t at fault and maybe if they bought a copy and gave it to everyone and we used it as a religious text then everything would be fine. It was a painful read at best.
Surprised to see Euclid’s elements. I have a volume from 1742 on the bookshelf!
His writing has never been objective. I’m not sure we should assume it is now.
Amazing everyone loves free market capitalism when it comes to taking fees for their SAAS. But when someone else takes a cut after providing the platform which is optional to join or utilise in the first place, that’s not fair and everyone wants the regulators in.
As an end user I really don’t want to buy from anywhere other than the App Store or pay a subscription through anything else. Why? Because prior to it existing it was more difficult to cancel subs than a hooky porn site.
The tech industry are two faced hypocrites. And attention seekers.
You don’t have to play in the market. It’s not like there aren’t other ones. Innovate. Create a new market. That’s what you keep telling us you do.
So against the vendor's advice you sort of shot yourself. Appreciate taking one for the team but I don't see any risk to myself here as I have no intention of using Beeper.
You have to leave it for a couple of hours to consolidate the local SQLite DB and iCloud. The results are not immediate.
This is easily fixed on the mac: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204967
Had the same problem and this fixed it.
Is there a reference for this anywhere / secondary confirmation? Would like to understand risk exposure of relying on iMessage going forward.
Also you could swap out hot spots with assembly trivially as it had an inline assembler. And you had indirect pointers in it!
I bet if you sign out of iCloud then reinstall the Mac and sign in again it'll work again. This is probably the machine signing key being shot down for using it with an unauthorised client rather than the mac being completely banned itself.
Not necessarily. Most of the 139's I get these days are SIGSEGV related. Obviously if you annoy the MMU at that level it's not going to get given an opportunity to write anything useful to stderr.
Depends really. If it's some kind of runtime or VM you pretty much have zero idea what the exit code was. Python, CLR, JVM tend to leave you in this mire.
Exit code 139. Hm.
McDonald’s methodology. Optimise for volume not flavour and quality with a veneer of marketing bullshit smeared on it.
I had asthma as a kid. I stopped taking the meds at 15 and had no problems since. YMMV. Would require a study.
