  It turns out the outage was for them to scrub the evidence. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO says the company doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory - 'you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These guys are openly admitting that all these investments are going into hot air. Altman has also already admitted we’re in a bubble. But it doesn’t matter because the line goes up anyway.

  You’re probably underestimating the amount of people that don’t bother going into the Settings menu of the devices they own. It’s “most” rather than “some”. The percentage of the population that knows technology beyond the surface level of using it is tiny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AT&T tracked employee attendance to find 'freeloaders.' Now, it admits the system is driving workers to the 'brink of frustration.'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the system doesn't just log badge swipes at the entrance or exit; the presence report uses laptop network connections and mobile device location data to infer the hours an employee was at their assigned office.

  "I now understand the level of anxiety that this report has created," Kenny said. "I also now understand how the fact that it is inaccurate is driving people to the brink of frustration, and it's creating distrust."

  Imagine being a C-level and just now understanding that breathing down an employee's neck their entire workday is terrible.

  Yeah, I only found out maybe last year that there's a whole community underneath it. Up until then I thought it was simply just an image hosting site.
