Throwback Thursday: See if you can wriggle out of this one

Itseveral years ago during a major virus outbreak — if you know your history of computer viruses, you can narrow it down — and a user at a remote site calls this pilot fish to complain that her computer won&t let her get any work done.

&I asked her if she had called the local technician — who worked for me — and she replied that she had called him numerous times but he had not picked up his phone,& says fish. &I told her I would take care of it.&

Fish calls his tech, who says he has spoken to the user each time she called and explained to her that he&ll help her as soon as he can, but hefinishing work in another area.

That satisfies fish, who goes back to his own work. And soon he gets a message from his tech, sent from the irate useremail account, reporting that the tech checked the userPC, found a virus and removed it, and updated the PCvirus definitions. Case closed.

Apple's OS development teams are going to 'Build Different'

Some say the mantra for agile development is to be sufficiently resolute to move fast and break things. But as enterprises grow, the consequences of doing so become unsustainable & as Apple appears to have learned with iOS 13.

Build different

ABloomberg report claims Apple has changed the way its development teams work in response to a variety of bugs that crept into iOS 13.

It seems that Appleengineers have tended to push features into daily builds of the operating systems before they were fully tested.The effect of this was to make test hardware unstable as the OS would end up running a variety of system components, some stable, some not, and some abandoned.

Tesla accidentally busted two windows on the Cybertruck while demonstrating how tough they are

Well, I don&t think that was supposed to happen.

In what was one of the more surreal product launches I&ve seen, Tesla debuted its $39,900 Cybertruck pickup tonight. After running through some specs and hitting the truckdoor with a sledge hammer, Elon asked an on-stage companion to demonstrate the strength of the Tesla &Armor Glass& by throwing a solid metal, baseball-sized ball at the driver side window.

It… did not go well.

Tesla accidentally busted two windows on the Cybertruck while demonstrating how tough they are

While the glass didn&t completely shatter, it did appear to crack from edge to edge. So they tried it again on the rear passenger window… and it cracked too.

Was this a gag? A &Hah hah! Just kidding, herea test on the real glass!& sort of thing? Nope. Elon stood in front of the truck, two broken windows and all, and completed the presentation.

While no one would expect most standard windows to stand up to a test like this, even Elon seemed surprised by the results. &We threw wrenches, we threw everything.& he said on stage. &We even literally threw a kitchen sink at the glass, and it didn&t break. For a little weird reason it broke now, I don&t know why.&

&We&ll fix it in post,& he followed up with a laugh. The video went private on TeslaYouTube channel about 30 seconds after the live stream was over.

And with that, the undeniable truth that is &live demos never work& lives on.
