remote work is pretty prevalent in finance/banking - at my job only the customer facing folks (branch offices, investment/mortgage, etc) need to actually be in the office - that’s only 30% of the workforce. another 15% is hybrid now, the rest are 100% remote.

ah, power constraints. yeah that tracks

the “change” is that laptop ram is socketed again?

LLM’s will probably improve at an exponential level - similar to how cpu’s did in the 80s/90s. in ~10 generations the LLMs will likely be very useful

what State’s have battery fabs? not KY, obviously - but, others, presumably?

yeah 8.1 wasnt that bad (supported it, didnt use it), 10 was way better than 8.1 imho. thinking win10 is going to be my last win though.

it was so bad. didnt help that it had higher hardware requirements than win7, and we didnt really have affordable ssd’s then so everything was so slow - or, that’s what my memory says, I havent used a spinner disk in a long time.

win11 is hot trash. seems like every other windows release is a skip. did Ballmer enshrine that or was it Gates?

what does that actually mean though? will Colombia stop trading with Israel?

thats going to be an issue - at my work roughly 60% of the userbase is connected via VPN at any given point - so, ~40,000 people or so

tried it for a bit. not much going on there. got bored & quit

wonder which company built that road…

same, and only reason I even looked at the article. why cant crypto just die already? it’s just a huge scam
