Sounds like Wireless CarPlay lag. I've experienced it a few times. They should really fix it. Wired CarPlay is great!

At this point it's very easy: no CarPlay, no buy. So no Tesla (obv), no Rivian.

I use DNS-level blocking and audit, a bit like Pi-hole, but as a commercial service I can use anywhere. Definitely blocks a lot of trackers, but probably not all.

Complicated question... Do you have marketable skills that could land you a job in demand with a visa? Or sufficient savings to "buy" residency somewhere?

You can criticize all you want on memegen, people will upvote but nothing will change.

^ this! Ever since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, people who decide to work there make the statement that they are ok with it. Same with Palantir, X, Grok, Tesla etc

Apple Maps only works well in North America, possibly just the US. The same way a lot of happy paths in Apple products are designed for California/Single Culture/Single Language/Single Residence.

You're confusing colos and first-party data centers. A colo mostly relies on its customers for installs and maintenance. Google, MS, FB, Apple etc own the entire building so all the functions are local: server install and maintenance, network install and maintenance, generator maintenance, electricians, water treatment in some cases... That's very easily in the hundreds if not thousands for big sites.

Count the cars here: 36.242186561973, -95.32619746715035

You have no idea how much maintenance is required. Just replacing hard drives, not even counting server repairs, new servers installation, network infrastructure installation and maintenance, power distribution, generator engineering, water treatment etc etc

Data centers are hardly new technology... For the longest time, people had no idea where the cloud was because the footprint was pretty small. It's another golden goose moment where everyone is going to build DCs and we might end up like in the dotcom bubble where way too much fiber was deployed for what was necessary at the time.

Less than 30 makes no sense. It's easily in the hundred if you account for shifts and the specialized jobs required.

Thanks for that, now I have a rock-solid argument when people say "oh we're already Microsoft customers, we'll just use Azure, it's easier, and they have Active Directory!!"

This reads like Google culture too...

Some airlines and/or local aviation authorities have additional restrictions. China wants CCC certified power banks, Thailand has a strict 160 Wh limit. Both are very strictly enforced.

Is this an ad for comma.ai? Because it sure reads like one...

Better than not having solar panels at all...

So does Pichai... Every time there is something new, he forces Google to pivot, upending everything without much to show for it.

A C seems pretty generous...

For cheap bulk compute, it's probably ok, but where would you serve your actual critical prod from?

I don't think OVH is anywhere near the level of AWS/GCP/Azure in terms of the quality of the infrastructure and networking. They seem to cut all the corners they can cut in pursuit of lower prices. They built a data center out of wood, with no fire suppression, and it burned down, taking businesses with it: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/opinions/ovhclouds-dat...

The whole city is a climate problem.

I'm afraid most of the damage is already done...

Bank of America offers FIDO U2F as a second factor but doesn't let you remove SMS as a factor. I don't see what the point is.

ImprovMX recently sold to an American owner, though... So that's really not great.

Apple is becoming like Google, everything is slightly broken and nobody cares, because fixing stuff doesn't get you promoted...

Some data centers use evaporative cooling, in outside chillers. The water use is fairly high.

Really makes you wonder if that "president" could be teaming up with the other side...

It's somewhat interesting that the NYT acts all outraged while the refused to report on the orange guy's numerous conflicts of interest/crimes/dubious connections, and all out penchant for fascism before the election...

I gave up and started using ControlD instead of uBlock or PiHole. It's been great and well worth the price. Clean, fast page loads.
