A Farewell To Feets Hurts Edition
A Farewell To Feets Hurts Edition
Top Story
- Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has fired four thousand customer support staff and replaced them with AI during a period he called "eight of the most exciting months of my career". (KRON)
Well, good for you, Marc. I wish you many more exciting months as you reduce your company to ash and gravel.
Tech News
- Books. (World of Interiors)
Lots of books.
- Cox has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a $1 billion copyright liability ruling set by a jury and the lower courts. (TorrentFreak)
Not just because of the billion dollars, though that certainly matters, but because the terms of the ruling would make American ISPs into judge, jury, and executioner for copyright cases except with all the liability and no legal authority.
- Intel's new low-end 3-series chip seems to perform like a previous-generation 5-series chip. (Tom's Hardware)
Perhaps because it includes four fast cores and four slow cores, just like a previous generation 5-series chip.
In the benchmarks listed it is still slower on both single and multi-core tests than last years Ryzen 7600 with its six fast cores, so I'd recommend one of those instead.
Fifteen pounds in four days.
Nineteen pounds in five days.
Also got prescribed a medicated ointment to deal with the feets hurts issue.

Holy cow, is that 4th circuit decision bad. I really hope the Supreme Court overturns it, because Cox is entirely correct: if simply being told "hey, your customer is doing something bad" is enough to create liability, they will have to stop serving Internet to pretty much anywhere that offers public Wifi: cafes, hotels, libraries...

There's an interesting hypothesis about trunk ISPs, and the university/ISP. IE, bitching about universties to trunk ISPs, in order to get the universities restricted from the internet. Salesforce, well, I already knew I was not a manager, but seeking excitement seems like it could be a distraction from being truthful and accurate in estimating business uncertainties.
