QA, AI, and jobs. How these 3 connect and how tech companies are lying to us?
Let’s start with QA. The recent AWS outage was caused by a software bug in the DynamoDB DNS management system. Yes, it was a QA issue that spiraled into a massive outage.

Check current compatibility on Freestyle Support. Most Android and iOS versions for the last decade may work, whether you use the Libre 14-day, Libre 2/2 Plus, or 3/3 Plus. Of course if you use a Libre Reader it's still worth a toll-free call to Freestyle Support.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.”

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong.
Let that sink in.
Can blue states call for a federal tax strike or something? I genuinely don't think this shutdown is ever gonna end without some major, game-changing intervention from them.

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?
Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?
And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?
