Appears that our author was present whilst either he gave a talk with no questions or a tame interviewer asked Werner soft questions with no follow-ups. Absolutely no pushback or challenge to anything he's reported as saying. Nothing along the lines of 'I keep reading AWS customers describing the quality of support and support staff declining over the last year or so. This seems to correlate closely with AWS push to full time RTO. How do you respond to this data?'

32 bit Linux is still supported by the kernel and Debian, Arch, and Fedora still supports baseline x86_64.
RHEL 8 is still supported and Ubuntu is still baseline x86_64 I believe for commercial distros. Not sure about SuSE.

I’m curious, what’s your awareness level of Rugby (Union or League), compared to sports in the US, or soccer worldwide?
I only have cursory knowledge, but seeing a number of videos of player/ref interactions make me think that the authorities are interested in having a game that is both physical and cognizant of the possibility of long-term injury. The players are not wearing helmets, and the refs are OK with using video review (with the videos playing out on the stadium screens) for all to see. It’s very different from US football or worldwide soccer/football.
Wearing American football style helmets does not reduce the risk of concussion which is primarily the result of sudden acceleration or deceleration causing the brain to move around inside the skull https://ideas.ted.com/football-helmets-dont-protect-against-... This is why they have 'soft' helmets in Rugby. American football likes the macho look of its helmets and body armour but for concussion it's essentially safety theatre.
So naturally AI will be in the office 5 days a week and not working remotely right? right?

There are no backups. There are no failovers. There is no git. There is no orchestration and deployment stratagies. Programmers ssh into the server and edit code there. Years and years of patchwork on top of patchwork with closely coupled code.
Such is a taste of what needs to be done if you wish to have a service that takes months to set back up after any disruption.
This is an ignorant position. Look at e.g. https://engineering.marksandspencer.com/mobile/2024/09/05/re...
The man who hopes to become Sonos’ next permanent CEO talks about the app, the now-canceled video player, subscriptions, Google, and more.

What credentials / access did he use to get into Disney's system after he was terminated?
Scheuer allegedly went into action quickly following his termination, and by early July was said to have used his work credentials, which still functioned after his termination, to access the menu creation system Disney contracted another company to create and change all the fonts in the system to wingdings symbols.
