It passed the unit test, it must be good!

They just finished laying Google Fiber in my neighborhood and I was looking at switching. Guess I’m holding on that.

What would you use instead?

You willing to take a 25% pay cut? Yeah that’s hella far. Especially when you’re up in the GHz range.

So just plain fraud

Riiight. And what makes you trust Googles word so fervently?

I’m curious when this happened. I literally created a new account for GitHub this week, only using an email address, and on Firefox. No wonky tests or anything needed.

Not if you’re an enterprise. I worked at a company where 80% of our workers (so over 2000) were on thin clients, even remotely. We could manage and upgrade the entire fleet easily from a single point. Ran the servers in house but were able to switch a portion to the cloud if we needed. We were doing that 20+ years ago.

So… you know how Battlefield 6 requires Secure Boot and TPM enabled, which just so happens to mean you can only use Windows 11? Yeah, they’ve been priming it for a while. Soon they’ll mandate that the browsers have hooks than can read the attestation of the system like Google’s Safety system on Android, and then sites won’t even load if it doesn’t pass.

I know that’s a funny quip and it was true in 2021, but it hasn’t been a problem since that event 5 years ago. Fun fact, Texas is actually the largest producer of wind energy in the nation, and they’re also building out massive solar farms.

The reason most people don’t hear about it, is it’s being done by the same oil and gas companies that are raking in the money. They’re just diversifying their portfolio so they continue to make money.

Ngl, I turned off my adblocker in a private window to see if that may have been the case. It was still fucked.
