<Quatre vingt dix sept>

In swiss-french it's more logical. Instead of "quatre vingt" (eighty) they say "huitante," and "quatre vingt dix" (ninety) is "nonante." It still throws me when talking to people in France, I have to stop them for a moment to be sure I'm writing the right number down. :laugh:

Just English and French. I can get around in Spanish, and apparently I can point at things and make a poor effort to buy a charger in Portugese. :laugh:

I saw a video of some parents trying to get their children to phone a number. It was painful to watch. Equally painful was a kid with a Gameboy. They weren't pushing the buttons and they didn't understand why it wasn't reacting when they touched the screen. :no:

 

New Girl wasn't an amazing show, but Nick Miller/Jake Johnson was very relateable:

Mhm, I've seen those reactions of young kids trying to understand what is and how to use it. I only barely ever used it, but I do get how it works..

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
    • Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??
    • If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
    • Source and more 35 years old?! And if my maths is mathing, that means she was around 10 when The Ring came out?! Damn...scariest 10 year old I think I've ever seen.
