Perfect fit half life the movie

Ok simply question. Would you accept any other infra service provider having such poor customer service and not provided updated status of an outage/disruption for 45 min.

I'm sure there are 2bit vps providers that claim to be cloud and are terrible. But for the price and claims of service like Aws I donno they are at the scale where they don't have …

Very fair but 45 min of an outage/disruption before manually updating public status is poor service and why is that acceptable for Aws to deliver to users

So your logic is to accept poor quality service to keep your service online rather than trying to do better and improve service. So you are saying that rather than rewarding a comp…

Not really renting from a DC provider means you just run the host yourself they deal with power space cooling etc

But your company is willing to accept poor service and as a result spend more money with the same provider to ensure continuity. So essentially you reward Aws hiding their stats. A…

Highlight the lack of transparency on reporting outages and that's a start. If your MPLS or ISP provider operated in the save way. The company wouldn't accept it

Didn't say you have to go "cloud" rent hardware in a DC and run that yourself. Or use a VPS I mean the cloud is just "Other people's hardware" and I'd thank you to not insult goril…

Everyone seems to overlook the point here. That yet again Amazon were slow as hell to be honest with their customers. I get it up down reports help but why do you keep using a serv…

True and agree and but digital is still only ever a close approximation. The way the tech works is all it ever can be. It gets to the point where you can't notice but it's still a …

Some of it is nostalgia sure you say film degrades after every run But to counter that argument every time a sound or image is made digital it degrades due to quantisation noise th…

Man that's cool I never worked on the carbon arc machines. I remember having a Xenon lamp weld itself into the holder which was also the cathode connection. All because someone did…

Only time I had it happen in 7 years was when due to failing bulbs not striking so easy I had to strike em manually and left the manual switch in the on position. Well there was a …

Similar to that, I used to find it hard to watch a movie in a different cinema where the projectionist didn't pay too much attention to detail when framing. Sure most of the pictur…

Things don't always have to be perfect. It's a personal preference. While I appreciate the helpful suggestion the first part won't really work and but the second part is fair playi…

That's part of it for sure but even on a still scene 35mm projectors still had a small bit of movement because it was mechanical and alignments are never perfect. I know in the cin…

Well written and nicely put. I served my time as a projectionist also and miss the job to this day. And digital isn't the same, while they are "picture perfect" with great colours …
