The pricing is garbage. The only benefit is the classic "unreasonable enterprise demands" (UED, that's my term for it): Rather than use multiple tools that are each best in class (and possibly cheaper or even free!) enterprises will always choose one product that does all the things. Even if it does those things poorly or even worst-in-class.

Example: VMWare. For ages, enterprises used VMWare for all their VMs because it could run/manage both Windows and Linux VMs from a single tool. Even though HyperV for Windows is vastly superior for Windows VMs and KVM is vastly superior for Linux VMs.

Aside: Yes, you can run Linux on HyperV and Windows on KVM but neither are ideal.

Windows Defender as an EDR is OK-ish for Windows but it'll never top CrowdStrike Falcon or SentinelOne Singularity for Linux. It probably won't be better than FOSS alternatives like Cilium Tetragon or even Falco (because of their flexibility/customizable nature).

Edit: I also have a pretty firm belief that putting Windows people in charge of managing Linux systems (of any kind) is always a bad idea. Yet the very nature of the product (Microsoft Defender) insists upon this.

You put em in a smoker for a few hours 🥔🧖‍♀️

The US National Anthem is the only one in the whole world that mentions bombs.

Requires SecureBoot? No thanks.

Most mutations are irrelevant or don't impact anything until they're duplicated enough times to matter.

For example, every human has 6 to 24 copies of the genes that let us digest wheat: AMY1 (salivary) AMY2A / AMY2B (pancreatic).

If any one or two of those mutate in the next generation, it won't be noticeable or make any sort of impactful change.

This is why changes from one species to another take hundreds of thousands of years (many generations). A whole lot of people will need to accumulate the same mutations and survive (or just reproduce) with those changes (when others don't) for speciation to occur.

About 70,000 years ago, nearly all humans on earth died, leaving behind just a few tens of thousands (maybe up to 200,000) that had just the right combinations of genes to survive. When that happened, humanity lost nearly all of its genetic diversity. It'll be a long time before we diversify again (if we ever make it that far).

Who decides what genes are best?

People who have the genetics for sickle cell anemia have a greater chance of surviving malaria.

Forget the ethics for a moment: Eugenics is flawed from the very premise that putting all our (genetic) eggs in one basket is somehow a good idea.

If her name tag was blurred for privacy it would be blurred much, much more than that. Nobody moves the slider to, "almost enough to read" 😁

Also, I've never seen a clipboard that long, have you?

I've seen folios that long. Usually the old school kind that you'd find at a lawyer's office. I think someone assumed that guy was holding a clipboard and included it in the prompt.

A professional photographer would never include their lighting setup in their images!

I had another look: The first image with the woman appears to have been made by AI from the image of the guy.

Here's why:

• Her name tag is blurrier than the rest of the image.
• There's no reason for poles to be on the left of the image. Also, if there were poles there, they wouldn't be so close together.
• The controls on the far left appear to be nonsensical.
• Her clipboard is way too long and the clip is cattywompus. I think the guy is holding a folio, not a clipboard. Whoever made the first image probably thought it was a clipboard and put "she's holding a clipboard" in the prompt.

I remember this time—I was a kid. Goddamn those chairs weighed a ton!

Sorry but I don't know anything else 🤷

What the hell? It's almost as if the seas are rising and storm surges are getting bigger 🤔

You should've opened that fortune cookie from six months ago. It warned you about this!
