  • This is actually the primary reason I switched from Pixel to iPhone. I was sick and fed up of leaving the house, opening up the pixel buds case and 1 bud not connecting, or having minimal charge, or it just cuts out after a minute of listening to something. Standing in the middle of the street troubleshooting earbuds whilst I just want to listen to something whilst going somewhere was so frustrating. Moved to iphone and airpods - not had an issues since (about 2 years now). Yes I tried different earbuds with my pixel. No, they weren’t any better. In-fact I still have some and they work better with my iphone.

    I don’t go in for fanboism when it comes to tech companies, but the build quality of Samsung and Google is atrocious.





  • This is it. I used to work for a consultancy that specialised in Oracle products. Turns out if you want an ERP or HCM, running Oracle EBS with a DB backend on Oracle…running on Oracle Linux…on Oracle Linux KVM hypervisors (where CPU pinning is a recognised and allowed tactic - unlike Oracle on other hypervisors)…it turns out, might be competitively priced.

    It’s a total lock in. Also, I get the impression that it’s almost always up to what the Finance team is used to/familiar with. They decide the finance app - then everything else follows as above due to the financials…which they are in charge of.

    I know a guy who migrated workloads off PostgreSQL Enterprise back to Oracle as the performance and availability just wasn’t good enough. I don’t know enough about DBs to query that much, but he did it.
