firstSpeaker··on Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
I am using similar setup, without the touch module. I will never return to my usual TKL keyboard considering the comfort that I get using the UHK. I am hoping at some point the Naya keyboard is released so I can have a good trackball available as well.
firstSpeaker··on Rarbg Is No More
Is there is any replacement with similar clean design and availability?
firstSpeaker··on Remembering GitHub's Office, a Monument to Tech Culture
All those HM chairs…
firstSpeaker··on I criticized Amazon’s policies in a blog – their lawyers have subpoenaed me
I am not saying Amazon is good, so please do not assume I am defending Amazon by posting this comment and asking this question.

Molson has claimed something and then got interviewed by an important podcast, and ended up testifying the congress about his claim. Now the party that he has been making the claim about is asking him to provide the evidence that he based his writing on.

I am not sure if I understand what part of it is unfair or bad? Could someone please explain what part of this is unfair as it looks like he, because of his claim, is a witness for the case.

firstSpeaker··on DeSantis’s Big Moment Goes Awry with a Twitter Meltdown
I wonder if they didnt anticipate the number of people showing up or there are some bugs showing up under such loads and the system was never tested with that kind of a load to discover them.
firstSpeaker··on Europe’s CEOs Eye Shift in Spending Plans Toward North America
The article does not say anything about what sectors of industry these CEOs belong to, or what is the total capital of the businesses they represent in absolute and in % to total cap in the included industry sectors in their survey.

So, all in all, the article says nothing substantial backed by any solid statistics and figures.

firstSpeaker··on A cryptocurrency company had a $65M bill, per Datadog’s Q1 earnings call
How does this compares with Grafana Cloud prices? Anyone knows any estimate and comparison?
firstSpeaker··on Google Cloud region currently down due to water intrusion
Some of the regions are so critical for AWS that them going down will bring down most of the control plane :P
firstSpeaker··on 'Harry Potter' books will be adapted into a decade-long TV series
This would be very much welcome. Watching this in adulthood while I read the book when I was not!
firstSpeaker··on Arrest made in SF killing of Bob Lee – alleged killer also worked in tech
My first travel to SF was in 2010 and last one in 2018. In the 2018 trip I wasn't comfortable walking in the market street to get back to my hotel in the evening (I was staying in Hyatt Regency). Maybe I got older and more fearful for my safety, but that is a personal experience I have with SF.
firstSpeaker··on Amazon announces 'Bedrock' AI platform to take on OpenAI
easier to learn about this at https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/ rather than bi article.
firstSpeaker··on Tesla workers shared images from car cameras, including “scenes of intimacy”
A friend of mine did some consulting work for a bank in the past. The developers working on the internet banking software didn't have access to the production database but my friend noticed that in-house developers are too much into the logs without any issue to investigate.

Long story short they were looking at audit logs (textual data) of specific customer they wanted to stalk.

He talked to their manager, in-house developers got reprimanded and my friend got a different assignment.

firstSpeaker··on Twitter's Recommendation Algorithm
How so? More details and reasoning?
firstSpeaker··on Twitter's Recommendation Algorithm
Would it be developed in open as well or there will be frequent merge from their internal repos?
firstSpeaker··on Twitter obtains subpoena forcing GitHub to unmask source-code leaker
Someone sat in a cafe or sitting in their care close to a cafe created the account using a clean USB booted laptop, and again used another public wifi while sitting in their car to push the source code. Unless they have serious verification mechanism and fraud prevention a more techy user can possibly avoid being traced.
firstSpeaker··on PayPal has restricted our account after we invoiced a key containing “ALEP”
One is probably has legal repercussion and the other has none but profit!

And as usual a crypto plug into any thread.
firstSpeaker··on DPReview.com to close
I have such fond memories of searching and reading to choose my next lens maybe a 1.5 decades ago.
firstSpeaker··on Amazon to lay off 9,000 more workers after earlier cuts
I cannot even imagine how people working at Amazon feel with the RTO in one side and the impending layoff notification on the other side pushing at them.

firstSpeaker··on Meta rediscovers the cubicle

firstSpeaker··on Twitter refused to pay AWS bill, so Amazon refused to pay for ads
I thought they have their own data centers. I doubt AWS would close their account or pause their control plane. It is more likely to turn into a new agreement of court forcing them to pay damage for long term contract and then quit the commitment.
firstSpeaker··on Amazon Buys One Medical
Amazon is reaching out into more areas. I think they are the only big tech with a hand into so many different verticals.
