For me the only software crashing(CTD ) was Factorio. Nothing else had any issues. I tried removing mods, searching for one that started causing issues. Memtestx86 said everything is OK. Replacing one stick of RAM instantly fixed all issues.

> Their entire business model was to funnel traffic to websites with their ads.

This doesn't change, they will still show ads somewhere around AI overview. As part of it if it is both technically feasible and legal.

The part of equation that is gone, is how organic traffic got to sites that published quality content. Now they might as well shutdown or switch to hard paywall. Both won't affect Google for few year, until websites (other than shops) are dead, knowledge stored in LLMs gets outdated and search engines have tiny index, that is a shadow of past size.


I could not care less about ZDNet. It already got reduced to spam blog that focuses only on selling affiliate link products.

Maybe network guys can give some hints? I guess they encounter such issue relatively often, when they can't access network equipment by network to fix the network issue. I know management consoles have separate networks on datacenter scale but it isn't that easy with even bigger networks.


Since I've dealt with "EE" Java in a previous life, that's actually pretty tame as far as parodies go.

I hate the fact I can say that. :-/


I wonder if there is "too big for IPO". Saudi Aramco in 2019 sold shares worth $25.6 billion in IPO. Even offering just 5% of OpenAI to public would shatter that record. Well, unless public isn't actually interested in investing such huge amounts.

Isn't it handled by COBOL or some other ancient language that only supports strings?

It's Struts 1.0 running on J2EE 1.5 hosted on WebSphere which does the talking to COBOL.

COBOL serializes everything to strings in a flat file.

We're currently planning on migrating the flat files to a Sybase DB.


Is there any company that will take my money to solve GDPR issues? And by solve I mean sue the spammers? For last few years I saw they "try" to look legit, by claiming addresses are managed by some Hungarian/Spanish shell company, hoping no one will be able to afford pursuing infractions over borders.

There's probably a law against it, but I've always thought a legal company could make decent money taking cases like this in bulk for free, on the condition that they get to keep all the compensation, while the "client" still gets the satisfaction of punishing the offending party.

On the U.S., only Attorneys General can go after violators of the CAN-SPAM Act.

It needs to be modified like how individuals can go after telemarketers.


That’s pretty much class action lawsuits!

This is hard, because private right of action in Europe is often very limited, and the damages are low.

THe US basically has a "private police force" for certain laws, notably the ADA. Many people are against this, I personally think it's a great idea and something countries should be doing a lot more of of.

As shown with that terrible speed of electricity video, Veritasium prefers "technically correct" over factually correct.

I guess it is more or less the same as https://almcorp.com/blog/google-ai-overviews-publisher-traff... , maybe that submitted link has less fluff and repetitions than the one I found.
