Honest: There are times when hiring another QA professional isn’t the answer.

You have plenty of customers to test it in production?

You were charging it wrong anyway

Yup. Doing is now, when they're pushing wireless charging mats is perfect timing. Every iFan is going to need several new chargers, which is the perfect time to stop giving them away for free and start charging for them. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

SD Times[^]:
A coalition of software industry leaders today is releasing a BizOps Manifesto, a framework that aims to finally address the need for the business and IT sides of an enterprise to work toward common outcomes that drive the bottom line.

Because until now, IT has been completely separate from the business

And we're a little closer to OpsOps.

It is a near-final release of .NET 5.0, and the last of two RCs before the official release in November. RC2 is a “go live” release; you are supported using it in production.

Hackers use billboards to trick self-driving cars into slamming on the brakes

Futurism[^]:
Israeli security researchers have figured out how to trick self-driving cars into slamming on the brakes by flickering an image of a stop sign on a digitally-controlled billboard — a hack, they told Wired, that could cause traffic jams or even accidents.

So to be safe: set your self-driving car to never stop at Stop signs

I was thinking of going with, "Was it one of those Burma Shave poems that they wanted to read the ending to?", but not enough would get it.
Not to mention it wouldn't even be funny.
