Na winter can absolutely jog on. Give me my warm days and lots of sunlight.

Imagine the possibilities!

• Heated camping mattress
• Sausage roll warmer
• Car windscreen defroster

When you log into the console and all your shits gone and you start to have a mild panic, when you suddenly realise it’s switched you to a different region.

Laser - pilots look down at the ship I guess.

Someone else will need to do it, I have lemmy.ml blocked!

Agreed, but other cloud providers exist and it would be good if there was stronger competition in this space. But going back to self hosting is a huge step back and I think if a CTO said they were going to move from the cloud back to a self hosted solution, pretty much everyone would hate it.

Bit of an over-reaction to one incident. I’d be willing to bet the uptime, reliability and scalability of AWS is significantly better than what the vast majority of in-house solutions could do. It’s absolutely not worth going back.

Millions of customers using AWS also weren’t affected - the company I work for certainly wasn’t, although some of our tools like Jira were.

Why would they have to come in at 7am?

I bet this service would cost an arm and a leg though.

Yeah. The last thing I want to do when I’m not working is to get on another computer.

Does it work out the box with Chromecast yet? I gave it a go a while ago and it seemed incredibly convoluted, where as Plex just works.

Well you see he’s stopped using the internet for his university work. But he still uses the internet for research for his essays.

I doubt many places do.

I’ve got images of the lecturer giving him death stares every time he starts typing, filling the room with the cliter-clatter of the keys.

They’re still using computers to do their university work and submit it though. It’s more about them not using a laptop in a lecture hall and using pen and paper instead. That’s not really a big deal considering that’s probably what most people were doing anyway up until relatively recently.

Title is misleading:

Nick, a philosophy student at the University of Cambridge, stopped using his laptop for university work in the last year of his undergraduate degree. He still types his essays, but lecture notes, revision, and essay planning are all done by hand.

The second sentence contradicts the first:

stopped using his laptop for university work

then

He still types his essays

So basically he’s not taking a laptop in to the lecture hall to take notes etc but is still using a computer to complete his work. Which makes sense as pen & paper in that environment is way more practical anyway.
