Funnily enough, the one you’d expect this from, the bank, I used to work for, it’s all Go and running on k8s in aws.

100%, sounds interesting! I’m going to spend some time tomorrow looking at a bug in the jellyfin android TV app related to DTS audio over HDMI.

Definitely true, I dread to think about how much tech debt these companies have. 😬

Unfortunately my bank, government, national health, surgery, local shops, food delivery services, etc. don’t open source their code. It’d be nice if they did however.

As a software engineer, annoying bugs that should be so simple to fix are so frustrating! I wish I could just have a crack and fixing it myself!

Is vodka a root beer?

Oh yeah for sure, I wonder if the thinking was “we’re about to lose a bunch of money, maybe limit it a little” 😂

This is very misleading!

CrowdStrike did not send gift cards to customers or clients. We did send these to our teammates and partners who have been helping customers through this situation. Uber flagged it as fraud because of high usage rates.

Running a VM of Windows 11.

This is weird marketing, why not just say “we’re merging Google podcast and YouTube music into one app”?

The saying “ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer” comes to mind here.

It’s a good job they haven’t heard of ceilings yet. 😅

Here’s the roadmap: https://github.com/EduApps-CDG/OpenDX/discussions/10

TL;DR: they’re targeting DX9 initially, later expanding to include DX12.

How crappy leadership destroys culture and employee’s mental health.

There isn’t a fader wheel on the ID.3 at least, so I’d assume the same in the ID.4

Thank god. This is literally the worst thing about my car (apart from the lane assist trying to kill me).

The other provider is Toob and they are indeed quite limited in location currently. I still pay less for a rolling contract with Cuckoo for my openreach connection that I did for Virgin gigabit (by ~£10).

I don’t think “anything close” is even vaguely true. I have openreach FTTP at 900mbps down, and the bandwidth is the same or better than I ever got with virgin gigabit. I’m also about to switch to another FTTP provider who provides 900mbps down 900mbps up for £25 a month. Plus with both of those I can pay a little extra to have a monthly rolling contract.

Additionally my average latency dropped by more than half when ditching Virgin. I was genuinely shocked at how much better it was.

Nice, I went for Unifi for WiFi. I have two APs, and the controller runs on my Pi k8s cluster. They’re pretty great for gigabit speeds.

I ended up buying a “mini-PC” as my router. It’s quite a bit over your budget, and you’d need an AP of some kind for WiFi. I run proxmox on it, and pipe the NICs through to my OpenWRT VM. The performance is great, and given it has 2.5gbps NICs, it’s somewhat future proof. UK Amazon link to the one I bought: https://amzn.eu/d/1pqfQEk
