it probably will be. the sport will be the low cost model because of the materials used. the stainless steel + sapphire standard will probably be in that range given additional material costs (+ maybe subsidy for lower? idk).

Edition is interesting because the exact alloy used has not been revealed.

yea but gruber thinks it will be $1000 for it

you have never updated sharepoint have you?


don't get me wrong, most windows admins are lazy shits who don't know the first thing about their job, but microsoft absolutely does break software through automatic updates. like, poo poo that's in a default oob configuration with start spamming errors because the update process hosed with its configuration

they just tend to fix it in the next patch cycle

infernal machines posted:

there's a reason best practice for update deployment is to run a few weeks behind, deploying everything to your test lab first. it ain't just because of third party software

infernal machines posted:

i have a client that still has an NT4 server on their domain, running some old production DB that's never been updated

it fucks with everything because they can't raise the domain schema functional level past win2k without it breaking, which means all their fancy new servers are constantly spamming AD errors

infernal machines posted:

actually, sometimes they do.

or you know, they spend $80k+ on developing a sharepoint site just to have us decommission it two years later when it turns out they didn't actually buy any loving sharepoint or sql licenses and no one at their implementation vendor thought to mention that they might need to do that

Then we looked at his Rolex up close and I suggested the Apple Watch might only be two or three millimeters thicker. Alex wears a Rolex Submariner 14060M so we looked up the specifics of and it comes in at 11 millimeters. That’s thicker than a Swatch, which starts at 8 millimeters, but there are also Swatch watches that go up to 10.5 millimeters, so it isn’t huge either.

Then we looked up the specifics of the Apple Watch and to our surprise it turns out the Apple Watch is only 11.5 millimeters thick.

they absolutely will. they'll wear their apple watch daily and the rolex will be left at home for *special occasions* but even that will slip away when they realize the utility they'll be giving up by not wearing the apple watch

apple watch will dwarf rolex almost immediately within the first year and the apple watch edition alone will dwarf rolex by the second gen at the latest

the number one market for luxury goods is China. the gold watch is for China. you roundeye CJs should consider the sport one, unless you're a classy dresser rich guy (you aren't) in which case the steel one is for you. if you aren't a Chinese millionaire you can go ahead and pretend the gold one doesn't exist.
