Not totally related, but even though it’s tempting to kick those cube-shaped HP MicroServers across the datacenter, they’re actually a lot more dense than they look.
*sigh*
0 is the loneliest number :(

It’s funny how three or four AI models have become the equivalent of the electronics engineer’s “jellybean parts.” Need a little AI to get people to look at your company? Just grab one out of the jar!

They did, but the first run of MacBooks we got that didn’t have Firewire would let you use USB. But we needed an A to C adapter to make that work.
Ha, old man brain glitching there. The A to A cable we used for file migration, but we had to stick an A to C adapter on one end to use TDM on some machines (had to be USB 3 rated, I think). It was around 2016, if I remember correctly? It honestly didn’t come up that often.
In the long, long ago, we used to use USB-A to A cables to transfer customers’ Mac OS X user profiles when they would buy a new Mac. Also worked with Target Disk Mode, way back when.

There’s an old saying that goes, “One is the loneliest number.” Non-programmers usually start counting at one, making it the first number in the count.
Programmers generally have to start counting at 0. So to them, the first number is 0. So the joke is that a non-programmer would say “one is the loneliest number” a programmer would say “zero is the loneliest number” because the numbers they start with when counting are different.
