Warum das Öffentlich-Rechtliche Fernsehen heute so wichtig ist

Die meisten von uns nehmen über den Tag verteilt große Mengen vielfältiger Informationen auf, die uns über unterschiedliche Kanäle gezielt zugespielt werden.

Dies ist demokratiefördernd und erfüllt damit eine höchstwichtige, gesellschaftliche Funktion.

Over the years, the customer’s production environment has changed a couple of times to adapt to the availability of new technology, a preference of remote work of employees, and so on. This article explains what is required to migrate an on-premises P5 server to a new instance (cloud… Read More »Migrate P5 Archive Server to the Cloud

Taking Decisions

I guess that most of us know situations, in which we wonder why our partners, colleagues, friends, family, etc. take decisions which we consider really bad choices.In this post I’d like to examine if those decisions are really that bad or if it’s possible we simply use different measures when judging them.
