You’re right. I looked at the angle funny. Thought it was the shoreline view

That’s Chicago. That’s the John Hancock building

Meant that as what about they could store.

Why I know. Go play it and you’ll see how they did it.

I am curious who said. You know am audio take will create a great experience.

Using a tape drive is crazy when you think about it. It was slow…. This wasn’t the big tape cartridges. It was a standard Audio tape. Not sure why they could store but it was all sequential

I think it was just a limit of how quick everything ran back then. Also, this was an IBM system that was checked, double-checked, and triple-checked because it was a mission-critical system. IBM used to be known for quality hardware. Hard to imagine because they are such a crap company now but that was the equivalent of a google back then.

My first pc had a tape drive.

It isn’t a disk driver since the OS is not loaded yet. It is the hardware identifying each disk in the SCSI chain. Not sure what else it was doing walking the bus much I know finding all the disk was the longest part.

I think mine takes like 2 minutes. It’s ten years old. I’ve putting off upgrading to the cost of videos cards

I will date myself. These machines had a lot of memory as well which added to the slow reboot. I think it was 16 gigs.

The r series for IBM took forever. The p series was faster but was still slow

The more disk you had, the longer it took. It walked the scsi bus which took forever. So if you had more disk. It took even longer.

Since everything was remote, you’d have to call hands and they weren’t technical. Also no cameras since it was the 90’s.

Now when I restart a vm or container. I panic if it’s not back up in 10 minutes.

In the old days some of the servers took at hour to reboot. That was stressful when you couldn’t ping it at an hour.

For capturing logs? Splunk, Dynatrace, etc. There are a lot of companies that do it better and cheaper.

Datadog is expensive for what they do.

This is my favorite one I’ve seen about it so far

One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.

From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn’t the way to treat people.

It uses Bluetooth to unlock the car but remote it uses internet. The app is how you remote lock the car. It doesn’t under blue tooth for that. It uses the internet.

Did you go try it on your Tesla ? That’s exactly how it works on mine.

It doesn’t. The app needs it. The phone does not. If you want to unlock using the app. You need internet connectivity. Go try it. I just did and it works fine on my 2019 model 3 as I don’t have coverage where I park.

Thats what I said. I’ve had a Tesla for years. Only the app requires the internet

The smart card or phone don’t. The app does.

The physical key is a smart card. The size of a credit card
