I had switched to some cheap SoundCore earbuds, still having issues with the pixel, switched to an iphone - no issues. Wanted nice ear buds again, so went with airpods. My original pixel buds were still sometimes not charging, or more importantly 1 would discharge in the case.

This is actually the primary reason I switched from Pixel to iPhone. I was sick and fed up of leaving the house, opening up the pixel buds case and 1 bud not connecting, or having minimal charge, or it just cuts out after a minute of listening to something. Standing in the middle of the street troubleshooting earbuds whilst I just want to listen to something whilst going somewhere was so frustrating. Moved to iphone and airpods - not had an issues since (about 2 years now). Yes I tried different earbuds with my pixel. No, they weren't any better. In-fact I still have some and they work better with my iphone.

I don't go in for fanboism when it comes to tech companies, but the build quality of Samsung and Google is atrocious.

Same, but it allows me to use DNS over HTTPS, so if you use a service like nextdns.io or a pihole you can block ads that way.

Who is Sadya? Do you mean Satya Nadella? He's Microsoft CEO. Google CEO is Sundar Pichai.

This is it. I used to work for a consultancy that specialised in Oracle products. Turns out if you want an ERP or HCM, running Oracle EBS with a DB backend on Oracle...running on Oracle Linux...on Oracle Linux KVM hypervisors (where CPU pinning is a recognised and allowed tactic - unlike Oracle on other hypervisors)...it turns out, might be competitively priced.

It's a total lock in. Also, I get the impression that it's almost always up to what the Finance team is used to/familiar with. They decide the finance app - then everything else follows as above due to the financials...which they are in charge of.

I know a guy who migrated workloads off PostgreSQL Enterprise back to Oracle as the performance and availability just wasn't good enough. I don't know enough about DBs to query that much, but he did it.

Yes, Elijah Wood is in Back to the Future II! He's one of the kids trying to play the old school arcade machine.

Oh, and Cuba Gooding Jr is in Coming To America (he's getting a haircut).

Have they actually said why? That post doesn't cover it.

Isn't the easy way to work around this by building 2x25MW data centres next to each (down the road, a mile away, next county, whatever) and just ensure they operate as 1 with high speed dark fibre?

It mentions this GDID is sent in telemetry. So this guy kept using a hosted proxy, meaning his egress IP was always changing accessing different services, but everytime his Windows 11 machine was sending back telemetry (which included his GDID) they were logging the IP address he was appearing from (the proxy) - so they were able to track and identify him.

No vaccine is mandatory in the UK. You have the right to decline (or your guardian can on your behalf).

I think they've been running around in Milton Keynes, UK for a few years now.
