Hotmail ran on FreeBSD when Microsoft acquired the company in 1997. They started the transition a few years later and it was entirely hosted on Windows by 2005.

They absolutely will. Those minerals are valuable.

They did the same with Star Trek: Enterprise. It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.

We could do so much more, but would we? USAID was just shuttered. There's every chance that money would go into the military industrial complex or something equally unpleasant.

Not defending billionaires as a concept (they shouldn't exist, and most aren't as philanthropic as Bill), but I will acknowledge he's doing a lot of good with his money.

Credit where credit is due, Bill Gates has been putting his money where his mouth is for decades now.

Having borrowed a quest 3 last week I’ve almost pulled trigger on buying one.

I bought a Tesla years ago before Elon completely removed the mask.

No way I’d buy one now, but I also don’t want to sell it early and lose a tonne of money.

The Tesla board should intervene and remove him, but they won’t because he’s stacked it with yes men like his brother.

Notifications etc I can understand if you don’t know how to use tech properly.

What I don’t understand is how every older person seems to have loud speakerphone conversations in public. They had landlines most of their lives so why do this?
