Honda Retreats To Hybrids After Failed EV Bet Triggers Record $9 Billion Loss

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Electrek: Honda is waving the white flag. The Japanese automaker previewed two new hybrids set to launch by 2028 after taking an over $9 billion hit over its failed EV bet, leading to its biggest loss in company history.

What Airbnb Used to Be: Boutique Wants Fewer Homes, More Taste — and No Investment Funds

DataSafeS3: self-hosted S3 с LDAP, аудитом и «Мои файлы» — честный разбор до релиза

За последние годы я несколько раз видел одну и ту же картину в небольших и средних компаниях. Для приложений поднимают S3-совместимое хранилище. Для людей — отдельный файловый сервис или сетевые шары. LDAP/OIDC живёт отдельно. Бэкапы — третий контур. Мониторинг — четвёртый.

Всем привет! Листал ленту тиктока и попался американский ролик про СДВГ, где всё объясняют на утках. Понравилось. И я подумал: классно было бы сделать такой же тикток, только на русском.Но я ленивый. Снимать, писать сценарии, делать всё с нуля - это скучно. А вот взять готовый ролик и перевести-переозвучить его на русский - вот это уже интересно, подумал я, а потом задумался, о том, как это автоматизировать. Это оказалось интересной... Read more
