We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.

You’re not wrong, but if we want companies to keep doing things for good PR, we need to reward them for it.

They’re basically giant badly trained dogs that happen to control every aspect of our lives.

They work, but it’s expensive and POC stage. They’re mostly just not scaled to the level that we think we can take them to.

Not wrong, but they fucked up due to incompetence, not just some random preventable accident.

From the technical details I’ve seen, just having a basic testing process/environment should have easily prevented this. That should be the bare minimum.

Can you afford enough lawyers to prove it?

They never really did, it was a talking point brought up initially by the interviewer and they guided the CEO into responding to it so that they could have some clickbait headlines. CEO should have known better than to engage and they sure learned that lesson, they’re not going to be talking to that outlet again, but it’s really just shitty interviewing that created this entire news cycle.

Planned obsolescence is built into googles processes.

They’ve created an environment where your primary method of advancing in your career is only creating new things and there’s little to no options when choosing to support existing things. Some things have survived by chance and/or something to keep employees busy, but it’s unintentional.

Did I miss a piece? I don’t see anywhere in the original statement where firefox is actively recommended, just mentioned as an example.

That was specifically one of the goals talked about in the actual interview and the CEO spent a lot more time on that than the topic in the headline.

To be fair… I read the whole interview a few days ago, she was kind of pushed into this statement. The idea from the CEO was presented as a high-end luxury mouse that you’d treat like a fancy watch you could just repair and never need to replace. The closest we got to Logitech saying this was the interviewer asking if they could ever see a subscription being attached to the mouse and the CEO saying ‘possibly’ and then implying that it could be something like a maintenance/repair contract so that you would never have to worry about your mouse.

This whole ordeal was mostly just poor form in interviewing where the interviewer pushed the interviewee into a statement that they knew would be good clickbait.

From what I’ve heard, the real primary reason is fire risk. This is obviously not 100% true, but landfills should be isolated from the surrounding environment especially when it comes to fluids/etc that could leak into groundwater. There are a lot of processes they should already be following to keep that from happening.

I kinda feel like voice search is just an inherently bad platform for shopping.

Supposedly… Home & Kitchen is the most popular category on Amazon, consumer choice comes into that so rapidly that it’s hard for it to make sense with just audio feedback or even a tiny screen like the show.

They definitely could, but most cybersecurity departments are paid too much to worry about minor items like that. If HR tells us to look into a specific user and gets the proper approvals so that everything is in compliance, we’ll definitely get someone on the team to do it, but otherwise if we happen to see evidence of unapproved usage, we’re mostly going to overlook it unless it could lead to something dangerous to your machine or the company as a whole.

EDRs like Crowdstrike can see very very nearly everything you do though, definitely everything you would care about.

Been awhile since we’ve POCed Crowdstrike, but I don’t think you can set the cadence on updates for Crowdstrike. I believe Crowdstrike enforces auto-updates, it was at least the default setting.

I see where your head is at here, but it sounds like you’re focusing on containerized items. A lot of people are going to look at you real weird if you think of scaling down a container as equivalent to shutting down a server. We can all see where your mind is going and there is logic there, but it’s more akin to closing chrome when you’re not using it than it is to shutting down the computer running chrome.

Have you looked into specialized AI chips/accelerators at all if you really want to mess with it?

Way lower end than what you’re working with, but they have AI accelerator kits for something as small as a Raspberry Pi.

I think you can get service if you are a government or large company.

You’re so optimistic. It depends on how you define service, they will talk to you if they’re large enough, but it’s still a nightmare getting them to talk to each other within google, getting support is still problematic.

I don’t like some of the other decisions in Garuda, but it’s become hard to get away from it when even regular non-technical people who see it are like “Whoa, what is all that” and you literally just finished installing it and didn’t even change the wallpaper. It’s a very different feeling from what I’m used to with Linux and I’m into it.

It’s consistently pretty good for writing items with low technical importance and minimal need for accuracy.

I’ll never write a job description myself again and my need for getting with communications for mass correspondence is almost gone.
