**Oracle Can’t Escape OpenAI’s Shadow** ChatGPT parent still accounts for most of revenue backlog, while capital spending surge shows no signs of slowing By Dan Gallagher Dec. 11, 2025 at 5:30 am ET After five decades of selling enterprise software, Oracle ORCL 0.67%increase; green up pointing triangle has amassed a lot of very large customers. But never before has the company’s fate hinged so closely on just one. A lot has happened in the three months since the world learned of Oracle’s deal to provide $300 billion worth of artificial-intelligence computing services to OpenAI. That was just one in a string of expensive deals signed by the ChatGPT parent, which currently generate...

While the holidays bring joy to many, they also bring a lot of waste. By remembering what seasonal items to recycle, you too can make the season a little brighter. “We appreciate the holiday spirit and all the efforts to recycle as many materials as possible,” said Mark Kinsley, Superintendent of Waste Diversion. “It all makes a big difference for our environment.” **Holiday collection changes** There will be no recycling or garbage pickup on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day. If your regular collection day is Thursday, please put your bins out on Friday. If it is usually Friday, you’ll want to put the bins out for collection on Saturday. This is just for these two weeks. **Chr...

I work at a big 16K+ company as a Staff Dev. My team of 40+ devs is blessed with 4-5 Non-Technical Ivory Tower Architects. They can't code. They don't understand microservice architecture. They don't understand how to use Postman. They barely understand HTTP Status codes. They don't know how to do designs (UML, C4, etc.). They know nothing, but because the higher-ups are also non-technical and they keep using complex words, they sound "smart"... but only to *them*. Whenever they come down to "Engineering" (the plebeians), they're clearly uncomfortable explaining anything. We understand the words they're misusing. We actually analyze the ...

Electric gang, I've had a few orders come in lately for some EC gear. I have a 100,000,000 positives, but there is 1 negative... WHY IS IT ALL PRINTED ON DIFFERENT BRANDS!? I know it's probably not a big deal for some, but I bought all mediums and got 1 as color, no brand hoodie, 3 x GILDAN (including a hoodie) and b&c for the rest. I buy all size mediums and they all fit so different. Some are a good fit, some feel like an extra small, GILDAN is boxy as **** and we all know GILDAN shrinks almost immediately so you get 1 or 2 wears before it shrinks to a crop top. I'm not saying I'm unhappy or unsatisfied whatsoever! I'm glad I can rock some EC in my area ...

I work for a Fortune 500 company on a very small technical sales team. All sales agents and customer support agents went remote in 2020. They even sold a lot of the buildings where people worked. Then, back in 2024, our CEO announced if you lived within 50 miles from an office you’d have to be hybrid with the goal of being 100% in-office by 2025. I have been attending in-office for 12 months, 3-days a week. Here’s where it gets interesting. Our company went through a restructuring process and my work status was changed in my employment portal to remote back in April. It literally crosses out the word hybrid and says remote. I just noticed it several weeks ago. I had all my colleagues o...

CBC's About That walks through how the Big 6 make money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMewFGupkX0 This is a great explainer if you've ever wondered but hadn't done the deep dive yourself. As you might expect, on top of fees for everyday banking, there's a lot of trading fees, and mutual fund fees. Worth a watch.

If I were to pick which of the two versions was more fun, it's definitely Replaylee for sure. That's mostly because the moment-to-moment gameplay has been ironed out with the refined controls/flow and the new currency system that makes it more satisfying to engage with the world around me. In that sense, Replaylee is a lot more "addictive" to play. However, I do think this game lost a lot of stuff in the process of this transformation. Stuff that I think gave the original version at least a sense of identity. One big thing is the world expansion system. In all honesty, I did like this system because it gave flexibility to progression, and because it allowed you to jump ...

Big news for mainstream crypto adoption. Revolut — the biggest neobank in Europe with over **65 million users** — has partnered with Trust Wallet to let people buy crypto *with zero fees* using Revolut Pay or their Revolut debit/credit card. This looks like one of the easiest on-ramps into crypto we’ve seen recently: • Instant purchases • No fees • Direct self-custody • No middleman exchanges For Trust Wallet this should help onboard a *lot* of new users into self-custody wallets. And for Revolut, it’s another step deeper into crypto rails and digital payments. Full breakdown here: [https://btcusa.com/revolut-and-trust-wallet-announce-partnership-enabling-zero-fe...

Let's say my boyfriend is called Mike, the whole story began in 2023. When we met, I had a storm of emotions and feelings, as it was my first relationship and my first strong love, he literally turned my head. After 5 days of acquaintance, we started a relationship, which I think was a mistake, but I realized it too late. The first two weeks were just magical, we walked a lot and corresponded. One evening he went for a walk with our mutual friend who introduced us, that's when it all started. At first everything was great, he wrote me back that everything was fine with him, periodically asked how I was and what I was doing, but then he disappeared. At night he still answered me and...

Get a cup of tea and I'm sorry for how long this will be: setting the scene itself will take a while. No pressure to read all of this but this entire absurd situation is making me realize that perhaps I am not the crux of the issue. I (35, F) have the BRCA2 gene and I had to get a prophylactic double mastectomy. I had the surgery Tuesday of this week. My mom (65) and dad (66) offered to help me with my surgery preparation and recovery. They are both retired and live 10 minutes away, so this makes sense. Mom is an ovarian cancer survivor who also has the BRCA gene. I live in a small, cozy house. It's my sanctuary - there is no place I am happier. I have a dog, a fenced in yard, ...

Any recommendations for how best to replace my battery for a relatively mechanically illiterate individual such as myself. Car isn’t starting. I was able to initially jump it with my wife’s car. Ran it for a good half hour 45 minutes, but next day it was dead again. My dad is a fantastic mechanic, but he’s old school and neither of us know much about the computer side. He offered to try to do it with me, but is there going to be a lot of issues once the new battery is in with the computer? Is it stuff that can be managed with the dash display, or do we need a code reader and such? Better to just take it to a professional to do it? I suppose I could jump it again and take it i...

It’s insane how many plow trucks I see during storms. I’m talking the actual plow trucks, big orange rigs and not the normal pickups. But they’re just not plowing?? The state is known for getting a lot of snow, you’d think they’d have plows working a bit more.

I’m a **Mistral Ambassador** (voluntary/community role, not an employee), and over the past months I’ve been using their chat platform **Le Chat** quite extensively alongside ChatGPT and local models. Given how many people here are burnt out or frustrated with GPT, I thought it might be useful to briefly introduce an alternative that many users simply don’t know exists. **Mistral** is a relatively small EU-based company (Paris). Technical users may know them for their open-weight models, but far fewer people know that they also have their own **ChatGPT-style interface**, called **Le Chat** — and that’s mainly what I want to talk about here. This isn’t meant as hype or marke...

Hi, I saw the recent big patch, amount of players etc.. And I was wondering since I only played 300 hours a long time ago, if it was a really good time to start out again ? I know the start can be a bit slow, to earn some plat, buy boost etc.. but would I still have a lot of fun and be able to reach the current content ? If so, would you have some tips to make my experience a lot better ? I like to be efficient so maybe like an existing progression guide up to date or something like that would be great ! Thanks for reading and answering if you do <3

Just in time for the second season of the Fallout show, an art commission that turns a particular playthrough of FNV I had that I'm fond of, commissioned to [meronbbang](https://crepe.cm/@meronbbang), has been completed. This isn't a particularly unique or groundbreaking take on the Courier and it's not meant to be, it's just the Courier in their signature Courier Duster and a gas mask made from an Elite Riot Gear helmet, equipped with a LMG and ALSiD. I wish I asked for the Medicine Stick though. Bae Dalbu(배달부) is of primarily Korean heritage. My headcanon is that there's a community built by Korean immigrants who huddled together in a Koreatown following t...

Which of these two would you prefer? First one is a Rage/Persistence tank. Second build is classic big shield gating. Health has the benefit of Archon Vitality for heat procs, since Uriel does a lot of heat. How much this helps his kit I do not know. Shield has the benefit of better survivability, except against toxin, and less dependence on orbs. Thus, it can make do with fewer KPM. Health is definitely the more aggressive build of the two. Also, it has more slots for abilities and thus much more range. Give me your thoughts!

Sorry for a long post and trauma dumping, I know I need help and I'm gonna get it but I just can't be with myself for now. My boyfriend found out about my cheating and lies. It wasn't a regular cheating, as I was practicing cruising - going to the spots that gays go to to have sex. I discovered a sauna in a normal aquapark where they have some interactions and I continued to do it until November, and stopped when I realised it was a kind of sex addiction - I realised only after my boyfriend found out when the reality hit me. To make the situation more clear, I didn't have the very healthy time growing up. I developed some mechanisms that were making it harder and ha...
