Google is the new IBM
  • For Gmail if you mean a lock on consumers who generally don't pay for the product I would agree, but I have done more g-suite to Office 365 in the past 12 months than I have in the past 5 years. It is too bad because we could really use some competition and different ideas in the office productivity space.

    Billionaire Soros to Become Biggest Stockholder in US Radio Company
  • I am a DJ on a local non commercial radio station. All music all the time. We do have show promos (i.e listen to face metal on Friday from 4pm to 6pm with your host dj sparkles) but no underwriting so we aren't shilling for a Corp at the top of every hour either.

    If you are on lemmy you should be looking at what your local stations are doing to try to empower the local community.

    Billionaire Soros to Become Biggest Stockholder in US Radio Company
  • You should listen and support your local community radio station. There are a lot of fantastic stations with music programming you won't get from an algorithm.

    Ps fuck sinclair... even under soros they will be a top down radio station and won't have YOUR local communities best interest at heart.

    Bloomberg: Apple targets 2028 release date for its own electric vehicle
  • Thank god Balmer is no longer in charge of Microsoft or we would soon have a Microsoft car. It would look vaguely like the Apple car and have one unique feature that is so poorly implemented it is worthless.

    What are some of your cheap eats hacks?
  • 1 cup of lentils, can tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions, 5 to 6 cups of water, 1 tsp salt. From there season with whatever. Want an Italian taste add oregano, basil, etc. Want more Indian add curry powder, cumin, ginger. It really takes on the flavor profile of whatever you add to it. Inexpensive and very healthy.

    What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
  • I have a 3.5 to 1/4" adapter that screws on my headphones and use that.

    My Pioneer mixer does have a 3.5 input as well, but seems to fragile with it in it so I am there with you.

    What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
  • So I can use my pair of headphones for everything. They work in my phone, my DJ mixer, my computer, and the broadcast board at the radio station. They never have technical malfunctions, there is no interference, and never run out of power.

    In days of old when knights were bold and wizards stayed up late
  • Trying to find anything related to fixing a computer issue based on an error message is nearly impossible without massaging the query by adding a domain name in the query like spiceworks.com, reddit.com, or microsoft.com (though the initial reply from the Microsoft person is always a the same install updates, sfc /scannow, etc) . There are so many worthless sites that all have the same or very similar content that are followed up with a sales pitch for registry cleaners and other worthless software to automatically fix your problem.

    What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?
  • I bought a cheap learn to solder kit and did that project before fixing an old Dell motherboard. It came with a soldering iron but agree with the poster above that a better soldering iron makes a big difference.

    Under Argentina’s New President, Fuel Is Up 60%, and Diaper Prices Have Doubled
  • "But since Mr. Milei took office on Dec. 10 and quickly devalued the Argentine currency"

    Usually that is true unless you devalue your currency so that anything that is made outside of your country is instantly more expensive. They are a net importer of oil and gas so this action worsened inflation and almost instantly for everyone.

    Toshiba exec claims hard drives are 7X cheaper than SSDs and will continually evolve for large datacenters
  • I don't see it in the next upgrade cycle (2 - 5 years). My data needs on a NAS are creeping into 50TB and 100TB at several different installations and unfortunately growing. Gigabit ethernet is my bottleneck not disk i/o.

    Toshiba exec claims hard drives are 7X cheaper than SSDs and will continually evolve for large datacenters
  • It's criminal that some computers are still sold with mechanical hard drives, but I will still be using them in NAS for years to come. The right technology for the right job.

    Prosecutors Refuse to Drop Charges Against Texas 11-Year-Old Put in Solitary Confinement
  • Absolutely Parents who do not want to have a baby should not be forced to carry one to term. It ain't some angel that came down and inhabited the womb that should be laminted as lost.

    Prosecutors Refuse to Drop Charges Against Texas 11-Year-Old Put in Solitary Confinement
  • I am pretty sure that body autonomy and a women being able to make her own choices about when to start a family are why we support a woman's right to choose.
