schestowitz[TR2]Why stay in reddit ? because it's out of sight for more people who visit this site to get the truth about IBM's inconvenient and poorly executed US layoffs ?Oct 14 06:23

schestowitz[TR2]"The stock price was up last week (peaked on 10/07 to almost 294, but down today to 277, so about 21 bucks down since the peak). The effect of the Anthropic "messaging exercise" didn't last for too long.Oct 14 06:23
schestowitz[TR2]The market was doing fine today. AK may need more than a messaging trick or two to keep things going for the 10/22 call? If software revenue is down or shows soft(er) signs of growth, "Watson, we have a problem" (pun intended)Oct 14 06:23
schestowitz[TR2]Correct me if I'm wrong or you don't agree, but a drop before the call is challenging, because they may have tried to get the stock as high as possible so that there's more room for correction based on results."Oct 14 06:23

schestowitz[TR2]" agree - Advantage plans lock you into HMO/PPO Networks and draw you in with “perks” like Dental, Vision, free Gym Memberships. The limitations on who you can see don’t become an issue until you have a serious issue (like cancer and you can’t go to MD Anderson cause they’re not in network). MediGap seems to be more expensive compared to Zero premium Advantage plans, but the reality is that it’s the luxury brand coveragOct 14 06:24

schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p>One of the most notable changes is the move from the older 3DES-CBC encryption scheme to AES-256-CBC for locally stored passwords, which makes Firefox’s built-in Password Manager more secure, protecting saved logins on disk. </p>Oct 14 14:18
schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p> Mozilla notes that this change only affects local data; passwords synced through Firefox Sync were already using AES-256-GCM, which is even stronger and end-to-end encrypted. </p>Oct 14 14:18

schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>I quickly reverted to version 7.1, and everything was peachy. All the guests had proper networking. I then upgraded a second time, same problem. I then went reading through VirtualBox bug reports, and found some rather interesting issues raised for version 7.1, which are, apparently, still applicable to the latest edition. So, let me show you how you can fix and work around the broken netwOct 14 15:15
