An old chestnut and still just as true, although I originally heard it about surgeons. There’s a 19th century joke that goes “the surgery was a success but the patient died”. The focus on showing off technique to colleagues instead of being useful is part of the human condition, I suppose.

Or they were sold a bill of goods by a cloud vendor.

Jesus Christ, what happened to P2P? Just have the files in constant circulation through the world’s computers. And 50TB, while a lot, isn’t beyond the reach of a well-heeled private individual to host on a NAS.

And instead of recording, they should remind doctors of the basics that they often forget. Two legs, one heart, etc… (I’ve dealt with moron doctors)

Look under your bed, there’s a family of Russians there sapping your vital life fluids.

ohhh fAces… I’ve been shitting all wrong apparently

Why don’t we just generate every video imaginable procedurally and host them in space? Get it over with. Every combination of anything. Because that’s what this torrent of AI slop videos feels like.

Or “just discovered” 1970s Berlin krautrock space stuff… it’s all nonsense

Oh no, how will I get my flashing lights and data hoarding fix now!!??

A simple 300 bps connection over POTS to relay the information from the process controller is all you need. But even POTS is disappearing.

Please do. I’m tired of reading PKD novels, they’re more fun happening IRL.

Um, OK… what do you DO with this? It just seems like a hermetic exercise in digital hoarding.

What on Earth do people DO with computers that requires this level of complexity?

It just seems like computers could have stopped in 1989 and I struggle to see what the difference would be.

Never seen letters like that on license plates in Quebec.

I have this great book about all the glassware in use in 1940s chemistry.

I feel seen.

It comes in mustard yellow too!!??
