@heidilifeldman @Npars01 I find it very interesting that people's thirst for the largest and most inefficient vehicles available has not diminished even in the light of historical highs in the cost of fuel. No vehicle too big. As predicted: youtu.be/PI_Jl5WFQkA?t=6

@ploum I worked with a fellow who famously said: "Software can do anything, and often it does." While flaws can exist, the bigger unknown is how a system will handle unexpected inputs or hardware malfunctions. You can try to trap unhandled exceptions, but "your results might vary".

Just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile after 21 years. Unbelievable results. I think Verizon has made cost cutting moves to reduce tower rental and equipment. In addition to losing equipment and people, they are now throttling their resources. Classic #enshittification
