  • Netflix CEO Says Movie Theaters Are Dead

    Jump

  • While Netflix continues to spew out so much hot garbage, cinemas will do ok… it is just my opinion of course, but the last few times I went to the cinema, there were more people than I expected. The problem that cinemas have is they are too expensive and people are struggling to get on top of all the things that are suddenly more expensive

  • My take from the article is that there is no future for a kid wanting to become a developer. He said that work for junior devs hardly exists, so I guess if there won’t be junior devs, then the current batch of senior devs will eventually disappear with no junior devs to replace them.

  • Yeah, a family member of mine was in a cult lead by a person who had everyone believing they were a reincarnated sun god.. and there were invisible planets travelling through the solar system on a collision course with earth, and aliens.. aliens living under the ocean near Japan, and they were thinking of taking over the world in response to Fukushima.. I lost touch with her when she was grabbing shovels and heading to the hills to live in a region that had been calculated as ‘too far for the non-believers to make it following a tsunami’..

  • Almost all Windows 10 systems can be upgraded to the new version — so why are businesses holding back?

    Jump

  • Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary..

  • When I was young my Dad bought me some mercury home from work.. I loved how it moved when I shook the bottle and the weight of it.

    When I had my own kids I didn’t want it around, so our local council had set up a event where you could dispose of household liquids like old paints and solvents, so I took it down. When I drove up, the guy asked me what I was disposing of so I said mercury. It was bizarre. I was told to stay in the car and a guy came out of a shed in a full hazmat suit with one of those pairs of metal tongs to retrieve it from me.

    I remember Dad telling me that miners used to collect gold pan tailings in mercury and then of a night they would hollow out a potato and put the mercury in, and then put that in the camp fire.. it would burn off the mercury and leave a little ingot of gold.

  • Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app

  • I don’t know what may have changed as I am an iPhone user, but about 10 years ago I worked in a small security role for a fairly large company, and the communications company we were using was more than happy to hand over sms logs as plain text. I would personally never send messages to anyone I was sure wasn’t encrypted and I can tell that by the blue bubble. I just don’t know when it is green.

    I don’t know what has changed as I don’t keep up with it, but I am still dubious about messaging outside the Apple ecosystem, which is ok for me as I live in a country where most people use iOS
