Best part about being in Asia is you’re a couple hour flight to Thailand, Singapore, India, Malaysia, and South Korea where such things like medical tourism is common for Chinese.

or you could just, you know, get a 16 minute vasectomy procedure and bypass all that.

Fully reversable if you ever want kids, truly a better option and something I wished I knew when I was younger.

Fuck this Russian disinformation site and fuck Russia.

Extending the fuck yous the user who posted this: @jankforlife@lemmy.ml who is an obvious Russian troll.

Nah, I’m a stern believer of forced castration for people like this. Shoot his junk off.

Lars and Sigrit are devestated by this…

I have 3 lenovo thinksystem racks with the oldest being from 2015 and the newest v3 from late last year. I also have various other servers and storage of theirs.

They, Lenovo CAN be good, BUT Lenovo dislikes customers who want to have a 7-10yr life cycle and while we strive to keep it at 5-6 years, some have to go to 7-8 which is where Lenovo gets shitty. Lenovo supports their stuff for 5 years and that’s literally not even arguable because they say it everywhere. Yes, you can keep it as long as you want but they, Lenovo will not support it. This is where I try to use HPE as they allow some of their products to get updates for decades… HPE MSA storage, Alletra/Nimble storage and HPE DL3xx servers specifically. We’re also an Aruba shop, which is now HPE so it just works best for us.

I’m with you on the ridiculous iLO / BMC crap though.

Longer than 30 years I assure you.

I buy HPE where I can, but “stop buying their shit” isn’t in any company guidelines and even people like me who dictate what the company buys ends up dealing with Dell and Lenovo server dogshit systems from other vendors.

Literally unavoidable.

Dell Premier Business actually and their servers aren’t bad.

Their service and support however are absolutely worthless.

32 minutes waiting for Dell Tech Support

Finally get in and they say their system is down.

Is your system based on ChatGPT? I asked.

I think so she says.

fml. ridiculous.

Yeah, I’ll wait for the peer review, thanks.

So water from the Thames then, yes.

Wall Street didn’t learn from past events and is doomed to repeat history?

Shocking… /s

This all sounds like Starship Troopers propaganda lol

Smart Energy Discount issues from the personal view of a consumer.

These plans work by sending you notifications that they will be reducing your thermostat for you when there is an energy crunch.

Sounds good so far, here’s the issues I had:

• Let’s say you are a good consumer and let them change your thermostat to 85’F when it’s 100’F every single time… You saved… $5!!! and got to sweat profusely in your own home in the process.

• Let’s say you were working in the yard and come in sweaty and needing to cool off or you have a hot flash for some reason. If you change that thermostat while they are in control of it, you lose your whole $5 for not just that day, but the entire billing cycle.

• Let’s say you want to exit the plan. Now you’re on the hook to wait on hold with your energy company for hours waiting for the one department and probably one person who can unenroll you. Chances are likely even then that they can screw it up and like in my case, both Google and my southern California electrical company claim ignorance anything was done wrong yet keep me enrolled.

In short and in summary: It’s a trap because the savings is far, far too small for the sacrifice.

Jokes on them, I block my Nest from talking to the Internet so my electrical company cannot control the damned thing. They had control even after I opted out and Google insisted they unenrolled me in the energy savings plan. Don’t enroll in these plans [insert it’s a trap gif].

The idea here is to rebrand and modernize AOL as a gmail and cyber security alternative with decoupled infrastructure from US dependencies: A highly political topic in the EU currently.
