alams··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros
Netflix’s content selection has always felt weaker than traditional studios. Sometimes it even looks like filmmakers take Netflix’s massive budgets but don’t give them the same level of serious, polished work they deliver elsewhere.

So, if Netflix ends up managing Warner Bros or HBO, it’s hard not to worry. HBO and Warner Bros are known for premium, high-caliber content, and Netflix’s track record suggests the overall quality could easily take a hit.

Google is able to churn up SOTA models across the board. But still could not figure out the basic user journey. No Joke!
alams··on Google Search: Roboto Mono
There are 1000 things google can spend their time on, that will be useful for the users. These intelligent idiots wasting the time and effort on these things.

More like Cloudflare DNS issue than the Google Docs error.

alams··on Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year
Did Nothing Phones chat app announcement influence Apple's surprise announcement?
alams··on Cloudflare API Down
Looks like Salesforce and Cloudflare sharing the same datacenter. Salesforce had the same issue today and they mentioned similar power failure as the root cause.

It is a known fact that salesforce is running its "Hyperforce" in AWS.

Does that mean Cloudflare also using AWS?

Does anyone faced any issue on AWS resources today?

alams··on FTC readies lawsuit that could break up Amazon
This what they said about Google. Google would be evil monopoly that no one can compete in Search and Ad business. An AI startup disrupted Google Search marker and made them panic and Google is falling apart in other areas as well by themselves.

So no one is too big to fail or compete.

alams··on MS Teams is down
It looks like the issue is region specific. While I was getting ""Operation failed with unexpected error" when trying to Join a meeting via invite, my counterparts in Europe were able to perform authentication and join meetings without any issues.

alams··on Sri Lanka is having a textbook currency crisis, triggered by policy mistakes
There are many countries who are next in line may be a bit more more self sufficient and with relatively less bigoted people.

Everything starts when people elect leaders based on hatred instead of good governance. Citizens of Srilanka or any of the countries that may follow the same step cannot just blame this cronies and escape. People needs to self realize their part.

How hateful westerners are towards country like India!

1.) looters set fire to the warehouse during the south Africa civil unrest last year which caused the spill. 2.)The article did not mention when was the municipal authorities judged the toxicity. because the quote from company mentions about a report from a recent date. 3.) the headline gives a picture of somehow toxic waste from India is being dumped into south African sea. 4.) "Indian" public listed company (worded as Agency) is irrelevant to the story because if you set fire to any chemical warehouse, you can expect something bad.

Stop the propaganda to blame the developing nations for all the evil in the world, while they just starting to get the benefits of the modern world.

alams··on Square Canada has a Cuban coffee issue
US government and US payment companies like Visa and Mastercard complaining about India building its own payment processing systems (RuPay).

Countries who depends on US and its companies for technology are very much vulnerable to these type of bullying.

Countries need to look on bigger picture and develop self sustainable technology ventures and US should stop bullying countries with technology to retain the trust.

alams··on British Airways passengers facing delays after IT failures
I was looking for this comment, where someone just blame Indian IT teams without any factual data that this is caused by the Indian IT teams. Just waiting for an opportunity to pour personal hatred and resentment. Just like I expected someone will blame indian IT teams without any actual data.
