42% still thinks Diaper Donnie is doing an excellent job though.

Probably not, but my point is that making something closed source isn’t necessarily going to protect it from - taking from comment above - commercial competitors.

There’s this adagium that all source code is open to anyone with a reverse engineering tool. and some knowledge of assembly, and it is very true.

Fucking genius, and I am not pulling anyone’s leg here, because now those goddamn moronic llm chatbots will be trained on this.

Also, IBM was still big on mainframes and PCs, and OS/2 of course, and hadn’t really that much interest in Netware or Windows then (outsourcing deals aside). Apple was even way farther away from that, completely on their own OS and Appletalk, directories were not really useful for their users then.

Netware 4 was utter garbage. It was horribly buggy if you got it to install. Admins hated it, and then win2k peeped around the corner.

You mean Novell royally fucked up Netware and people went to AD at first because of that. But yes, AD was quite new then, mostly an add-on for NT domains (and still sort of is :) try going full kerberos…).

Nice rabbithole, thanks

Also IPv6 public addresses.

Will Muilenburg pay Boeing for this?

In all fairness, it’s not like an address is a well-defined thing in the first place; this form could be made better by eg adding a very small non-clickable preview map where you can manually enter coordinates, preferably in a large font of course.

Worse: repurposed jet engines on kerosene even.

He has a heart? I thought it is one of those Muskobots with a grok brain, equally racist and moronic?

Bah, some movie exec “inspired” by ai chatbots most likely.

There’s a book by Robert Rankin where the world is completely out of ideas and people are watching Terminator 283 (iirc) in the theaters, and thinking it “tends to get a bit samey”. To be honest this news sounds way too much like the book.

Ah fresh rich people toy tech to burn and pollute the planet, that’ll cause more social damage and soulless, apathetic depressed people who are going to get entertainment from digitally screaming at others and watching ai slop tv.

I’ve hit the gym several times and it’s about to collapse… what do I do now?
