For those that are not aware...
I'm being told from multiple sources that you can no longer purchase memory to expand current servers. The only way to get memory is to buy the whole server, fully spec'd out.
No more upgrades of existing equipment. Full replacement of hardware only.

Me to my Inside Sales Rep "Also, any luck shaking that tree for more memory for my servers? Please sir, I only need 16 sticks of 32 GB RAM. *bats eyes, tries to look pretty*"
His reply "how can I not try to get something with puppy dog eyes like that?"
Hey. Whatever works.

As a general rule, governments shouldnβt bury anti-privacy reforms to the Canada Elections Act in an affordability measures bill, ignore the advice of Canadaβs Privacy Commissioner, or block all efforts to study the effects of the bill on the privacy rights of Canadians.

Answer: They were very, very bogus.

She Came Out of the Bathroom Naked, Employee Says
Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Metaβs new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other peopleβ...
According to an investigation by a Swedish newspaper, Facebook keeps recordings of what some users of its "smart" glasses see, and those recordings are made available to human reviewers, who are seeing very private moments that users almost certainly don't think Facebook is recording and sharing.

The screenshot of the release notes reads:
A new version of TeX Live Utility is available!
TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now?
Release Notes:
Changes Since 1.54
β’ Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book.
β’ First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software.
β’ Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date.
β’ Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date.
β’ Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database.
Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144.
β’ Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models.
β’ Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.
There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

Given that hockey players are, generally speaking, dumb, I think these guys are going to fly back to their home cities and learn that overnight they've lost three local endorsement deals and kids are flipping them off in the streets and genuinely think: "wow, all because we won a hockey game"
