Great show. Who thought an ad office would make for good drama? The historical setting is great (acceptable drinking at work, kids not in car seats, the fascination with a copier as big as a VW bug, ect). Don Draper is smoother than Hugh Hefner (in his prime) and I could watch Joan walk away all day. Really great cast here no weak players at all.

I'd never actually watched this show before until just last week. My cable company put the entire first season up on Free On Demand stuff, probly cause my cable company is Cablevision that owns AMC channel. Anyway, after hearing sooo much hype about it and how good its supposed to be, figured I'd start watching it from the beginning.

I watched the first 3 episodes, and then just couldn't stand to watch any more. I don't get what the big deal is, frankly I found it rather boring. Its definitely got style, I'll give it that, just very impressed by the sets and the accurate display of the time its set in, and very well acted, but, nothing ever really happens. The storyline of the show is quite uneventful, and literally almost put me to sleep once. Found it boring.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
