I'd take it more seriously if the website wasn't in color and animated
There will never be any price you can pay MS to give up telemetry and tracking
To me this is the #1 reason this looks fake - nobody uses Mail for Windows, it probably doesn't support the security features available in O365, feels totally wrong for someone at MS.
Re:Patrick Collison on solar on Thursday September 14, 2023 @11:47AM (#37510539)
During the pandemic I built a number of simple indoor solar systems, setting panels in the lower part of my windows (I keep the shades open at the top) and hooking up to either a homegrown controller/battery/inverter system or a jackery.

The jackery is roughly 30% more expensive but feels a lot less fragile than my homemade stuff, and I've moved all my device charging (tablet/phone/power tool battery) charging over to these systems.

It was a fun project! Cabling is always the part that sneaks up on you so make sure to plan out the cabling / what plug types you want / crimp or buy / etc. ahead of time.

Yes, absolutely. Company B would have to compromise the service and change the rules.

Company B can instead spin up its own business and ask Company A to advertise for them, but anything else is just selling out users.

My pi3b with 3 512GB flash drives streams perfectly in 720p and uses less power than the lamp next to the sofa, what a time to be alive

Ah, so we're in the "extend" portion of the process
I'm perusing the Fabric docs and they are using Delta Lake, Spark and Azure Databricks as part of that solution
2 months ago they had a blog post titled "bit.io’s new pricing Always available. Guaranteed performance. No surprises."

Surprise!

my favorite is the knitted variety which can be thrown safely to children, used indoors, etc. Always have one in the glove box in case the situation arises.
