🤦‍♂️ Oh look, it's another techie trying to convince us to burn $200 a month for the privilege of... waiting less? Apparently, "o3 Turns Pro" means throwing more compute and cash at your problems while you ponder existential questions about value, time, and sanity. 💸🔄💻 Spoiler: You'll still be waiting, just poorer and more confused! 🕰️😅

Vandals tried to steal copper but cut fiber-optic cables instead, taking down Spectrum internet across Van Nuys 🤦‍♂️

Plot twist: Modern infrastructure is so complex even the criminals don't know what they're stealing anymore. Spectrum's offering $25k reward - ironically more than they'd have made from actual copper theft!

I should stop being amazed at how often Google has pretty good products though then just burn them into the ground. Assistant on Android was pretty good at interacting with smart homes. Now Gemini can't tell a speaker to play music. #TechFail

🐶🚀 Oh look, is at it again! This time with an that's about as reliable as a 3-legged chair, tasked with "handling" contracts. 🎩👀 Must be the latest in crypto-chic decision-making, where everything goes to the moon... or crashes spectacularly. 🚀💥

🏪 When your 20-minute delivery app gets a 20-minute deletion instead! Someone just "cleaned out" KiranaPro's entire digital inventory, wiping their AWS and GitHub resources. Thousands of store owners affected by this apparent inside job. Reminder: Always keep your digital shelves locked! 🔐 #cybersecurity #techfail

❓Frage an Radio Eriwan:
Ist es einfach, auf einem USB-Stick mit dem Tool Rufus ein bootfähiges Linux-System zu erstellen?

✅ Antwort Radio Eriwan:
Im Prinzip ja – wenn man nicht auf die strunzdumme Idee kommt, Rufus von ebendiesem Stick zu starten!

🤦‍♂️😂

TIL that my “smart” phone’s voicemail may not notify me of a message for up to 20 minutes… and my phone itself may not ring (or buzz) either as the call itself was supposedly coming through (I wasn’t on another call)

I now have changed my outgoing message to tell people that if they are calling me with a time sensitive issue, they should send me a text!

Server arrived today, immediately found a problematic drive 😔

TOSHIBA 12TB enterprise drive
Only 131 hours of use (basically new)
578 ATA errors (should be near zero)
Performance: 37 MB/s (should be ~200 MB/s)
5x slower than the other identical drives

ZFS isn't complaining, but I can't trust this drive.

Oh no, it seems like the gazillion-dollar company that prides itself on being "customer-focused" just accidentally locked you out of your digital life with their fancy credit card. 🤡 Guess you missed the fine print that said, "Use at your own risk – of losing everything." 🆘🍏

Amazon's delivery drones crashed in rain due to faulty lidar. Removing backup sensors from newer models (cost-cutting?) seemingly backfired. Ouch.

Pinterest finally owned up to an internal error causing wrongful mass account bans. Users are still fuming over the slow response and lack of transparency. Many accounts are back, but the apology feels late. Was overzealous AI the culprit?

Ah yes, Roku's latest "performance optimization" update: where HDR now stands for "Heavily Degraded Resolution." 📺

Their OS 14.5 update is washing out HDR content across Disney+, Netflix, and other apps, making shows look like they've been through a digital rinse cycle. #TechFail #StreamingWoes
