Why is snow on the news every where, it's pathetic, it's just snow! Sure lots of places have it bad but comon it's plastered all over the news here like something major happend :| On another note can't wait til it gets heavier so I don't have to go anywhere.

Slow news day; this is the worst it's hit the UK in 18 years and we aren't prepared for it. Plus the added affect of "snow days" from work being declared has on the economy is negative (a load of stocks where sold this morning due to worry how the snow will affect the prices).

I just read this on the Washington Post:

Heavy Snow Brings London to a Stop

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...9020201151.html

I wish you people the best of luck and safety...I know its a miserable situation.

Miserable? Its ****ing GREAT mate! With all the news we hear all the time about the econimy etc, this diverts our attention and in a lot of cases, gives us a free day (maybe 2) off work!

Was only a light sprinkling here through the morning but it's really starting to come down this afternoon/evening.. hope it's appalling tomorrow so I don't have to go into work. They already sent everyone home early from work today.. so if it's the same tomorrow morning, surely we won't have to go in!

lol

only in the UK

the rest of europe can easily deal with this kinda snow, but the UK for some reason cant!

for example! if more than 2" of snow is expected, the salt pouring trucks come out late at night, and in the morning a quick sweep is done of major roads.....

ah well, then again i cant remember the last time is snowed in the UK :s

Whats wrong with that? Nothing is more hardcore than braving 2" of snow without any gritting or plowing eh. The roads around my way were like glass when I woke up this morning. Cars wheels spinning but going nowhere. If anything there wasn't enough done. After all, didn't we know about this snow at the start of LAST week?

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

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "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.
