As a us organization you can choose between different MS cloud tiers. I know about 3, the basic tier for private customers, tier4 for large corporations and tier 5 for us gov and military organizations. My guess would be that it has something to do with which 3 letter agency can access your cloud data.

I think as a citizen in NK, freedom of speech or political freedom would not be a high priority during countrywide food shortages. /s

Tell me you never worked on legacy code without telling me…

Also some shady company can get full access to my photos, contacts, call history, location data, camera etc. when I use their app to remind me to buy tomatoes and eggs. its just how things are in 2025 🤷 /s

You never worked on old code. It’s never that simple in practice when you have to make changes to existing code without breaking or rewriting everything.

Sometimes the client wants a new feature that cannot easily implement and has to do a lot of different DB lookups that you can not do in a single query. Sometimes your controller loops over 10000 DB records, and you call a function 3 levels down that suddenly must spawn a new DB query each time it’s called, but you cannot change the parent DB query.

It usually works if you change the wording in your prompt so it describes what you want, instead of calling it by his common name. Instead of “create an image of Donald duck smoking a cigarette” you can try “an image of an amphibious bird with white feathers in an sailors attire, with burning rolled paper in his beak”.

Why do you need an app for that, when it can be blocked from both app stores? Did people forget about self hosted websites?
