Am I the only one annoyed the article is an article about a future article? Like I didn’t get anything out of their experience into linux because it’s just a pre-article and the user transition experience is what we’re interested in.

Isn’t crowdstrike still being sued for all the damages in aerospace? Kinda crazy

“30 minutes”- me when I lie on the internet. Where did you get that number? You realize we can check the news and see that big sites like x and chatgpt were down like 4 hours? Not only that, they said themselves it was not an attack but a misconfiguration. News were reporting it fixed around evening utc while the issue popped up around noon. That’s not a 30 min outage and is a huge failure.

When I bought my first car, I preordered it (because the color wasn’t available) and then did all the paperwork in a couple hours when it arrived and then drove it off the lot. Maybe it’s different with lots of loans and checking, but assuming you have liquidity and proper certification in this scenario (I.e. Cashiers check), it might not be as difficult. I don’t think you even have to spend it all on one transaction so you could easily break it into smaller ones, like plane tickets and travel arrangements are expensive for a few people. You could splurge and make it nice. They said you had to spend the money but it didn’t mean you had to have the reward immediately

Imo this question is pointed at young adults or teenagers because older adults are just going to trade liquidity for some other form or pay off some huge loan/bill.
