Oh man it's going to be like the reboot of Battlestar Galactica over there except instead of murderous cyborg robots its going to be The Gays.

I'd watch that show. Especially if Edward James Olmos is lead.

It took so many fucking tickets to get my bike back

Amazon invested heavily in cloud services (AWS). They make much more profit from that than they do their utter destruction of the consume goods sector. So they don't need to rely upon content distribution networks like the rest of the modern internet does with the notable exception of Google (whatever their garbage product is - I refuse to use google products to the point I dont even educate myself on them) and Microsoft (azure). The rest of the internet uses Cloudflare and NextCloud and a few other big named "Content Distribution Networks" or CDNs. Those are great because it lets a few big service providers set up all of the hard to maintain internet infrastructure that then is used to dynamically host webpages for much, much quicker global access and it provides a very large layer of security on top all at once.

But it does mean if they have an outage, it can affect a large swath of the internet. And it also means if your DNS is malfunctioning (which is probably the case here) then you also can't access a ton of resources on the internet.

Clear your dns cache. Reboot your machine if necessary. If you have access, reboot your router.

iirc the M line of chips is a superset of ARM instructions. So all programs compiled for aarch64 should be able to run but programs compiled for M chips probably won't be able to run on aarch64 targets.

I just want a damn cover so I can get out when it is raining and not get soaked. Is the design implemented in 1960 too much to ask?

Well the the real world version of Hollywood Accounting - they just use inflated costs. Usually a large studio will outsource aspects of the production to smaller companies. Those companies could be a wholly owned subsidiary, a company owned by an exec or a close connection of an executive, or even an internal department. The important aspect is each of them will be able to set the price for the service they provide at a very highly inflated amount relative to the cost. This allows the production to claim they spent $5 million on lighting when the actual cost was closer to tens or hundreds of thousands. Did the difference in cost and price ever actually exist? Was that money ever actually paid? That depends on the scheme and who is the recipient. Either an exec is trying to siphon corporate cash off to himself or family. Or they're trying to inflate production costs for a failed movie (Coyote v Acme, Batgirl, etc) to make it appear as if the company made no taxable profits at the end of the year.

Has anyone here used Asahi? How well does it tend to work? I'm wondering when the bulk of the work will be done by the kernal and you could then install any random ARM distro.

No. The Producers was all about over-selling profit shares. I just watched the original a few weeks ago and they had sold 25000% of the shares. So if it made any money then they would have to pay out 250x what was earned. But if it was a flop and closed the doors after the first show then no profits would be paid out - so all of the costs could be kept.

It's hollywood accounting at it's finest. They make the film cost a fortune to produce, because they use department billing to turn $1 of cost into $40 of expenses. Then they burn it to the ground and say they realized $250M of losses when it really only cost $20M to produce. And don't forget that a huge amount of the cost was just paying themselves enormous salaries to figure out how to make it a net loss for the company from a structured tax perspective.

I think it should be a coin flip. Heads or tails. You lose whichever way it lands. That'll keep the riffraff out.
