Every #Apple event the comments always flow in favor of small #iPhone. It's a case of a very very loud minority. The iPhone mini peaked at about 3% of overall sales. Small is also extremely niche with Samsung and other manufacturers.

Seems #Finland, aka “Texas of Europe”, is getting many more #datacenters soon. #Google signed 22-year power agreement with Fortum.

“Pure DC said in July it would invest 1.5 billion euros ($1.74 billion) to build a 110-megawatt campus in Finland, with the potential to scale beyond 550 megawatts. Arcem has plans for a site with up to 500 megawatts capacity. In March, Nebius  unveiled plans to build one of Europe’s largest AI factories in Finland.“

Every 1-2months the clowns 🤡 over at #Google or #YouTube do some website update on YouTube where Safari on iPad doesn’t work. Pressing play doesn’t work, navigation stalls… this is all with content blockers turned off. Just the default iPad Safari stops working for 1-2 days until a different clown notices. Anyway, can’t use YouTube today. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sometimes a complete purge of cookies will work so I get a different A/B version of whatever trash ci/cd is available. But today isn’t one of those days.

Enjoying the 4th season of #Reacher. But I shouldn’t have stayed up this late. Almost 3am! #bingeworthy

Looks like Patagonia Argentina is about to get some #datacenter attention. Has it all: cold climate, undeveloped, huge gas shale formations, etc

How can you beat this price for a pumpkin pie? 🥧 😯 #Costco

I don't know why I picked 2 hours ago to do DB maintenance on my #gotosocial install. That was a long vacuum. DB shrunk 16GB ➡️ 12GB.

tl;dr starting price of $138k. 😮‍💨
