The grammar pedant in me is annoyed they're not called "The Beverlys Crusher" lol.

No/Low-Code: Letting people who don't know what they're doing half-ass things poorly without understanding the first thing about it and leaving them completely incapable of fixing it when something goes wrong and then pissing off actual developers when they have to go into the Playskool interface to fix it.
The elderly are still being shoved away in a simulation of their golden years, because I guess that is easier than trying to make room for them in the real world
Yorkie kind of had it bad in the real world her whole life. I can sympathize (though mercifully not directly relate). And I'd much rather San Junipero myself than live out my days in a nursing home. YMMV, obviously.
afterlife" still places everyone's continued existence at the mercy of real-world infrastructure that could decide to just turn them off at any time.
In a lot of ways, Upload is something of a sequel to San Junipero lol
I'm an American, and I agree. It's not so much the American cast, but the tone shift that came along with the move to Netflix.
Brooker via https://movieweb.com/charlie-brooker-responds-to-black-mirror-criticism-netflix/ :
"Arguably the happiest [episode] I've ever written was San Junipero and I just did that off my own back. I was aware we're going on a global platform now, so we've got to make these stories a bit more international. And I wanted to mix it up a bit, as in not just keep doing bleak-a-thons."
That said, "San Junipero" is one of my favorite episodes. Probably because, at the time, it was the rare happy ending.
But at the end of the day, it's still a great show that wonderfully extrapolates current tech trends into varying "10 minutes into the future" dystopian scenarios. Sometimes we need to think everything will work out. :shrug:
🎵 Pepper Ann, Pepper Ann, much too cool for lousy dates. 🎵
Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn't require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).
Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.
...yeah. I blocked that whole instance a week or two ago. c/Piracy just isn't worth it. Also, never liked that Unruffled person all that much, and I really don't like them after this ""It's only genocide if I can blame the US - otherwise it's just 'Sparkling Crimes Against Humanity'" 🙄
By Grabthar's Hammer, what a bargain.
Worst part is I haven't been on the front lines for years, but Tier I just hears '[Application name]' in the request and blindly forwards it to me with no troubleshooting / fact-finding whatsoever.
That's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, though.
All the stuff I've ordered from Ali is still in use (or in my parts bin awaiting use). e.g. All my smart bulbs are from Ali and were pre-flashed with Tasmota. They're almost 6 years old and going strong.
Why would we? lol, we wouldn't. But when management says "Help Delores with her app problem", what are you gonna do?
