There was a time when we all used #tape, and yes, most of those use-cases are obsolete (anyone still using their Walkman?).
But in the world of data storage, it has never gone away - and it keeps finding new uses, as we were reminded this week.
New on our @ComputerWeekly blog, there's many ways to build modern tape storage into your ESG & data governance plans & @Hammerspace_Inc has just added one more: treat tape as an equal.
@bryan_gb asks, How much more will it take to convince the sceptics?

Are you investing in generative AI? Many are, but what does it even mean - is it direct, indirect, something else...?
A clear view here should help a lot with seeing where the real value lies, writes @Dale_Vile on our @ComputerWeekly blog

Pay doctors fairly!
Junior doctors are only "junior" compared to senior consultants - they are fully-trained medics responsible for patients' life and death...
Based on this video, it looks as if Microsoft's dedicated CoPilot key will replace what's the right Ctrl key on my keyboards.
Has MS forgotten about left-handers? 🤔

The ability -given the right software- of NPUs to boost the performance of key functions, while actually using *less* power, has the potential to make them a must-have for laptop buyers at the very least.

What's the point of AI-enabling a laptop or desktop when there's already so much AI compute power in the cloud? On our @ComputerWeekly blog, @bryan_gb explains some of the key whys and wherefores...

Utterly scandalous and shocking, yet utterly predictable given the pigheaded clowns in charge at the PO.
A Christmas #PostOfficeScandal. When the Post Office finally paid compensation to its victims, it landed them with a tax bill. It promised to cover this - but failed. 1,100 postmasters will have a £10k tax bill on 31 Jan with no help at all.
Important 🧵:
If you're a #VMware user or partner, then you -like us-were probably relieved when the uncertainty over the #Broadcom deal finally ended.
But now you, like us, are probably back to being confused, as Broadcom appears to chuck it all up in the air again...

Is this something you've tried - or seen tried? Would you recruit in ways like this?
New on our @ComputerWeekly blog, a meeting with @OpenUK_uk leaves our @bryan_gb wondering - could, or should, you build #OpenSource project work into your #JobSearch?

What's your take on #PrivateAI - much needed, or too late?
In part 2 of our intro to #PrivateAI on our @ComputerWeekly blog, we look at some of the key questions to consider, including where to base it and why you might need to get model-focused.

New on our @ComputerWeekly blog - can we deal with the fear that #GenerativeAI will reveal our #IntellectualProperty by taking our #AI private?

Hi @CapitalOneUK I just got this in an email from you: "We've noticed you've not been opening our emails recently."
OK, I'm curious - how do you think you know this? Tracking links or some other form of spyware? Do you have "return receipt" set on? 🤔
Nice to see one of my - admittedly tentative! - predictions coming true. And yes, it seems we have the EU to thank again, at least partly anyway. 🇪🇺

Hi @ThreeUK why are you breaking your promises?
On your Data Reward SIM webpage it says "an existing customer who has registered already... will continue to receive the 200MB every month for life"
three.co.uk/terms-conditions…
But I've just had this allowance taken away from both my Data Reward SIMs - "Due to system upgrade you will not get 200mb data now" said the support chat when I complained.
Hint: that is *not* what the word "upgrade" means...
Here at @VMware Explore in #Barcelona they just brought @Broadcom 's Hock Tan on stage to reassure attendees - yes, "the elephant in the room" actually spoke... 😀
Tan made 3 'commitments' to VMware customers: to accelerate VMware R&D, invest more in the ecosystem & partners, and make the software easier to use/consume. #MRDA of course, but very interesting to see him here.
Yes, it's NewsThump, but I'm still not sure if it's actually satire. 😢
Mass shootings are now such an accepted, normal part of US life, that Google has developed warnings in their navigation tools so people can plan their routes accordingly.
"Honey, we better leave 15 mins earlier, we've got to go the long way round to avoid a mass shooting."
