Well aside from the health effects of these silly phones, which is a long subject in itself besides being spying devices by entities which I will not mention..... People today are automatons and anti-social in person. I see it every day at work. Can't even pass a coworker and get the normal Hi, or smile or anything. They walk the hallways with blank faces and never acknowledge you even exist. They can only converse by texting. And how about in public? I see people with their necks bent down and thumbing their phones like whack-A-mole. Not paying attention to anything around them in stores, sidewalks, parking lots, etc. Or they are constantly yapping gibberish nonsense all day long while awake. They should krazy glue their phones to their skulls. Or better yet implant them into their chests. Hands free so to speak. It confounds me how many gullible dolts exist in this world. They use the excuse of "convenience" as their mantra. They even go so far as to eliminate keys to their front doors and have their phone unlock it for them. How lazy can you be? I for one have all old mechanical locks on my cars, my house, my appliances are old school analog and never break. I never bought into any of the electronic psychopathy like most. I saw this evil coming miles away and will never participate in such nonsense. And I speak to people in person face to face, the way it should be. Landline phones are good enough to function in life. I don't need a babysitter or pacifier to get me through anything. PT Barnum said it best. I never owned a silly phone and never will.

Nokia to supply Microsoft’s Azure networks
Nokia to supply data center switching portfolio for Microsoft’s data center networks
Nokia’s solutions will deliver the additional networking scale and capacity Microsoft requires for its data center environments to support the bandwidth growth to its Microsoft Azure platform
20 April 2022
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced it will provide its data center switching solutions for Microsoft’s data center facilities to support the bandwidth growth to Microsoft Azure as part of a multi-faceted deal. The deal expands the long-standing relationship between the companies, who have been working together to bring massively scaled, agile and highly resilient networking to the data center environment.
With the significant growth of cloud services and cloud computing and the move to 400GE, Nokia has been selected to supply its 7250 IXR chassis-based interconnect routers to support high-density 400GE applications in Microsoft’s ‘tier-2’ network architecture. Nokia will also be supplying fixed-form-factor platforms into other Microsoft network applications. This new agreement builds upon the companies’ collaboration as part of the open source SONiC initiative to develop chassis-based platforms focused on the requirements of high-capacity data centers.
Nokia’s next-generation data center switching portfolio platforms deliver the scale, openness, aggregation and interconnectivity required for modern data center networks. The 7250 IXR offers a broad range of high-performance chassis-based and fixed-form-factor options for data center top of rack (TOR), leaf, spine and super-spine applications. The platforms support port speeds up to 400GE, with a path to 800GE, along with comprehensive IP and Ethernet feature sets.
Vach Kompella, Vice President, IP Networks Division, Nokia, said: “Today’s data centers have their own unique operational challenges, and Nokia has been working closely for some time now with Microsoft to understand its evolving data center needs and requirements. Our expertise in building high-performance, chassis-based systems was a key factor in our selection.”
David Maltz, Technical Fellow and Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Azure Networking, said: “Nokia’s platforms were a natural choice to deliver the massive-scale interconnectivity that Microsoft requires. Nokia brings density, performance and flexibility to Microsoft’s data center networks and cloud environments and is partnering with Microsoft to deliver chassis switches running the open source networking operating system SONiC.”
