VSCode is free software. It's not even possible to buy a license for it.
This audit was repeated at the Department of Labor. Initial results:
- 380 Microsoft 365 licenses with zero users
- 128 Microsoft Teams conference room licenses; only installed in 30 rooms
- 250 VSCode licenses; only using 33
- 129 Photoshop licenses; only using 22.
- 5 cybersecurity licenses, each with > 20k seats; DOL headcount is < 15k

it's going to blow these guys' minds once they learn where LLMs get their "knowledge"
Replying to @MarioNawfal
How does wikipedia even survive now that everyone gets their knowledge via LLMs and GPTs?

it's extremely obvious who is tech illiterate and doesn't understand how USB-C works.
we've "made something better than C" 4 separate times now. it's called USB-C.
the entire point of the standard is that you can make new connectors that use the same standard port.

Anyone else had a call with a certain Game Engine company to tell you that for some reason you now have a MINIMUM SPEND of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR with them.
Because our game is popular and we use their engine, we now have to spend $500k a year using their other services. Is this okay?

200ms is fast for web programmers. Meanwhile game programmers have to target the latest 240Hz screens. That's 4.16ms to simulate and render the whole game world (can contain million objects).
Any operation that takes 1ms+ is considered an expensive operation in real time apps.

Take a wild guess what the first point would be on the benefits of moving back to India
My wife and I made the decision of moving back to India from the US after completing our higher education.
We decided to dedicate our lives to building & researching technologies out of India for the world.
We recently completed 1 year of our stay here.
To all the Indian 20-40 year olds who are contemplating their move back to India but are filled with uncertainties, this is an honest compilation of 10 differences we observed after our move back here!

The Dark Side of the Olympic Games: Anti Doping Agency Scam.
Did you know Olympic Anti Doping agency WADA is controlled by U.S. and it allows 3 countries to hold 63% of all Therapeutic DRUG use exemptions and the same 3 countries hold most number of medal tally.
The agency itself is set up with the sole purpose to enable massive doping of the US/Western athletes and to forbid and target other athletes in the name of anti-doping.
Athletes can legally dope themselves with performance-enhancing drugs, all under the guise of "medical treatment."
All thanks to system that World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has created, a system that allows western countries to dominate the medal tally with:
WADA's "exemption list".
This list is a little-known secret that allows athletes to use banned drugs, as long as they get approval. Approval by whom? US controlled WADA.
But here's the catch - the applications are kept private, opening the door for widespread doping. And guess which countries are taking advantage of this loophole? The same three countries that top the medal tally.
If you take a closer look at the numbers. In 2015, 653 American athletes applied for exemptions, with a staggering 60% approval rate. Compare that to Russia, which had a mere 37% approval rate, and China, which had only a single-digit number of approved exemptions.
But that's not all in 2016, the Russian hacker group "Magic Bear" leaked into the WADA database and found that American athletes have been using banned drugs with the help of their own anti-doping agency.
Yes, you read that right - the very agency meant to prevent doping has been enabling it. Over 200 American athletes have received medical exemptions, allowing them to use drugs like synthetic steroids and diuretics.
And it's not just limited to one or two sports. Cycling, athletics, triathlon, swimming, and skiing - all the sports that require peak physical performance - have been hit hard by doping. Even tennis superstars like Serena and Venus Williams have been allowed to take banned drugs, without revealing the medical certificates that justified their use.
WADA's system is a scam. Games should be about fair play and sportsmanship, instead WADA is used as a US weapon to attack adversaries in foreign policy.
