Why did I decide to commit myself so deeply to Drupal?

On the flip side, as the customer, involve the people who'll actually be using the software. You only have to go one manager up to miss crucial day-to-day operation requirements.
My impression is the profit margin of B2B anything relies on selling things with high price tags to people who won't actually use the product and under-deliver the product to the poor souls who have to work with it.
I feel like the internet archive has taken a lot of that sort of use off of Google.
Unrelated: Google should probably think about a sizable donation to the Internet archive.
Some kind of collaboration appears to be happening between the two https://blog.archive.org/2024/09/11/new-feature-alert-access...
Is anyone at Google even aware how much this hurts their brand?
I received an email from Google today with the subject line "Meet the new Google TV Streamer (4K)"
The sender was Google Chromecast. Apparently it's some sort of streaming hardware they are selling for £99.
I won't even consider buying one. How long until it's an obsolete brick? And when it's a brick, what are the chances I can wipe it and install my own software on it? Probably zero.
No thanks, Google. You've blotched your copybook too many times.
I agree, and also know my own personal bias against this particular company and whatever extent I might go to boycott or avoid its products are ultimately inconsequential to their bottom line.

Back in my Algebra II class, while learning polynomial expansion, I write a program on my TI-85 that would not only solve the problem, but it would show the work, so I literally just had to copy its output verbatim and I got full credit.
I showed it to my teacher and asked it if it would be considered cheating to use it on the test, and she said that if I knew the material so well that I could write a program that didn't just solve it, but showed the work, then clearly I knew the material so well that I'd ace the test even without the program, so I could go ahead and use it, just as long as I didn't share the program with my friends.
I didn't have any friends (This was 1998 where being such a nerd was still looked down on), so it wasn't an issue.
1998 was just on the cusp of the Nerd Liberation era

Hah, talk about good timing. I just got my flipper:D
I have a weird related question and I am not looking for a full answer, but rather on what/where would be a good resource to find that information as what I have found so far was not super useful.
In short, for the newer employee badges, are there some secret handshake pieces that flipper can't copy? Stuff around the house worked flawlessly, but the moment I tried to play with employee card, I got, um, mixed results.
I asked our IT manager and our employee badges have RFID plus some kind of timestamp check or something. The secret handshake is actually secret I guess. Lot of information out there but mostly guarded by radio nerds who talk like you should already have an EE degree.

Search means either:
The rest of the internet is either an entire ****show or pure gold pressed latinum but hardly navigatable thanks to monopolies like Google and Microsoft.PS: ChatGPT already declines in answer because is source is Stackoverflow? And…well…these source are humans.
