    Weird Amiga 600 Fault Repair

    [11:06] schestowitz[TR2]

    I have a lot of customer repairs in right now, and most are awaiting new parts (mostly SMD PLCC sockets, as I have run out). In the meantime, I bought a faulty Amiga 600 motherboard, which Karl Dyson (Retro32) pointed me to. It was available for a very low price. Lets see if I can fix it.

Then again, since AK wants to move everything to his motherland, India, this might be the perfect opportunity for those who are constipated and in dire need of immediate relief. After all, IBM can satisfy the masses in the attempt to be all things to everyon [11:57] schestowitz[TR2] e. Of course, IBM will still fail in the delivery of technology but the fall back plan would be have an IBM Consulting Ultra Senior Partner available on a 24 x7 basis to talk around the problem and provide word salad games like the current US Vice President.

Watson. Code. Assistant. For. Z. This is not only a complete grift, it is also a major pillar in IBM's AI play. McDonald's voice order taking system was once also a major pillar. But it does not, did not and cannot work and is now retired. Get "Watson Code Assistant for Z" and try it out. It has no chance of working on any real COBOL program. And if IBM works really hard on it, in five years, it still won't [11:58] schestowitz[TR2] work largely because it is management driven and not engineering driven. [11:58] schestowitz[TR2] Will AI save IBM? [11:58] schestowitz[TR2] IBM will get a few mugs to waste money on what they offer. They will sell that as evidence that AI is IBM's future and maybe pick off one or two more marks as a result. But since this garbage is garbage, sooner or later no more patsies will be sitting down at this table. Mothers and fathers are already teaching children to beware of IBM carnival barkers. They use "IBM hybrid cloud" as a parable for the mistaken life choices that ca [11:58] schestowitz[TR2] n be made by being seduced by sociopaths. Investing your business' future in IBM AI is basically just giving your money to the hustlers and hoping to retire before this facade comes crashing down and your employer wants some sort of accounting. [11:58] schestowitz[TR2] I'm not kidding: Watson Code Assistant For Z is one of the premiere AI offerings that IBM has. Get it and try it and rate it.
