That’s bigger than any workspace I’ve ever had in my entire 20+ years of working. It has a window and drawers and some modicum of privacy? How did this office drone get so lucky as to avoid the last few decades of open plan double-hot-desked bullshit?

This is what I always recommend

Webpass used to be great. The instant it became Google Fiber, it seemed to be totally abandoned; no rollout to new buildings/neighborhoods, no speed improvements (most locations still top out at 1Gbps and local favorite Sonic.net has rolled out 10Gbps fiber throughout the Bay Area), and prices are stubbornly high ($70/mo for 1Gbps versus $40 from competitors). Oh, and there’s still no IPv6.

I’m sure Astound will be even worse but Google has been an awful steward of this service.

(this is the same reason that big solar systems require an oversized busbar on your main panel)

I think the risk is more that someone has a 15A-rated outlet on a 15A circuit breaker, plugs a solar panel into one socket and then a power strip with 30A of space heaters into the other socket. Breaker doesn’t trip because the main panel is only providing 15A, but the outlet lights on fire.

Not sure why that isn’t a problem in places these are more common.

Good word.

You’re absolutely right - it hadn’t even occurred to me that the paid support tier is probably just going to be ChatGPT in a trench coat. Ugh.

I was on the bus yesterday and was watching someone copy numbers out of Excel, paste them in Gemini, ask it “what is the total of these numbers”, then paste the answer back into Excel. I truly despair for the brains of some of the most AI-pilled folks.

MySQL often has moderately higher performance (particularly for workloads where you want your data clustered by PK, which is how InnoDB is natively structured) and its replication system is much more flexible than either of PostgreSQL’s.
