I'd tend to agree with the author. If forced to choose a cloud platform though (and that often is the case) then AWS is probably the best of the bunch in terms of reliability. Have heard and experienced some real horror stories with Azure & GCP by comparison.

GCP is miles better. Their IAM is at least understandable, for a start.

I would read a GCP horror story for fun. Any thing you can direct me to?

Personally I would probably always reach for a docker container if I want a sandboxed command that can run identically anywhere.

I appreciate that alternate sandboxing tools can reduce some of the heavier parts of docker though (i.e. building or downloading the correct image)

How would you compare this tool to say bubblewrap https://github.com/containers/

The text says that it uses OS-level tools, specifically bubble wrap on Linux.

That's right. It uses the same kernel mechanisms as Docker, the runtime is different though (bwrap on linux, seatbelt on mac, etc.)

thanks for the good laugh

Honestly I read the first couple paragraphs and then clicked away because that's just the attention span I have for reading online.

Do consumers really care about AI on their phones? Apple intelligence/Siri would not be on my radar at all when thinking about buying a phone.

No but Wall St pundits do.
