There was a time when we all used #tape, and yes, most of those use-cases are obsolete (anyone still using their Walkman?).
But in the world of data storage, it has never gone away - and it keeps finding new uses, as we were reminded this week.
New on our @ComputerWeekly blog, there's many ways to build modern tape storage into your ESG & data governance plans & @Hammerspace_Inc has just added one more: treat tape as an equal.

Are you investing in generative AI? Many are, but what does it even mean - is it direct, indirect, something else...?
A clear view here should help a lot with seeing where the real value lies, writes @Dale_Vile on our @ComputerWeekly blog

Pay doctors fairly!
Junior doctors are only "junior" compared to senior consultants - they are fully-trained medics responsible for patients' life and death...
Monday I was the only F1 covering all medical wards at work. There was a cardiac arrest after my shift ended which I attended. Tuesday, I finished my shift performing CPR on a gentleman who deteriorated unexpectedly. I was the one who decided to escalate. (1/2)
Based on this video, it looks as if Microsoft's dedicated CoPilot key will replace what's the right Ctrl key on my keyboards.

What's the point of AI-enabling a laptop or desktop when there's already so much AI compute power in the cloud? On our @ComputerWeekly blog, @bryan_gb explains some of the key whys and wherefores...

A Christmas #PostOfficeScandal. When the Post Office finally paid compensation to its victims, it landed them with a tax bill. It promised to cover this - but failed. 1,100 postmasters will have a Β£10k tax bill on 31 Jan with no help at all.

@MSW_researcher@justrena He's just playing - or trying to - to 'his' authoritarian MPs, voters and newspapers. Like a lot of Tories, he's knee-jerk politics personified. Yeah, eejits the lot of 'em.

Just so you know, I read all your emails, but not in a browser.
I tried to reply to say so but your email was sent from an address that refuses email - which is pretty ironic when you're complaining about people not reading their email... π€£

OK, I'm curious - how do you think you know this? Tracking links or some other form of spyware? Do you have "return receipt" set on? π€
Nice to see one of my - admittedly tentative! - predictions coming true. And yes, it seems we have the EU to thank again, at least partly anyway. πͺπΊ
