Kurt Cobain has probably been gone longer than these people have been alive.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, no sacrifices are acceptable. Workers generally get taken advantage of in the US. I think everyone is tired of being taken advantage of. It's time for businesses to actually treat people better.

This just screams "stupid new CEO obsessed with trying to implement AI into everything".

If purchasing something doesn't mean you own it, then piracy isn't theft.

Cool with ditching fossil fuels, but screw Nestle.

That is a terrible idea, we need fewer people talking while on the road. Not people joining in on an entire meeting.

Move to Firefox (or any non-Chromium browser really) and use a different search engine that's not run by a giant corporation. I use DuckDuckGo.

Collaboration is important and a key part of sustaining a culture with your peers, with your colleagues," Tan added.

BS. Collaboration does not require people to physically occupy the same space. It does require communication though, which happens quite easily thanks to the internet.

This is just an excuse to get rid of people or to fill empty offices to appease money hungry property owners.

Hopefully Nintendo/The Pokemon Company will see how well Palworld is doing and stop putting out disappointing mainline Pokemon games.

Risking sounding like a broken record, I always suggest Tiny/Mini/Micro 1L form factor office PCs. Lenovo, Dell, and HP all create ultra small office PCs that make great low power servers. A Pi will use 5-9w at idle, while these PCs will use 11-13w idle. They also use more standard components such as NVME drives, 2.5" drives, and replaceable RAM. Easy to find under $100 USD used, I'm sure you can find them under 100 euro.

Musk is actively promoting stuff like this. By continuing to interact with the platform you bring more attention to this garbage. Twitter died as soon as Musk took over.

So they aren't giving up on trying to find an eco-friendly production method, they just found one way that doesn't work out. It is nice to hear that they're trying though.

Oh no, guess the people using Windows at home will have to just settle for using the easily found Microsoft Activation Scripts!

If it's your own machine, I recommend running one of the Windows 11 debloaters.

I've moved all of my personal machines over to Linux (specifically Ubuntu). Windows just isn't worth it anymore.

It supposedly uses Bing and several other search results while suppressing content mills. I'm open to using anything though, DDG just happens to be the more privacy oriented one I went with.

It depends on the version, but yes, it does. It's especially a problem on prebuilt machines and laptops. It is incredibly annoying to work with in a corporate environment. Our helpdesk tech comes to me with issues related to this probably three times a week. I gave up with work arounds and we just have a throwaway Microsoft account now.

Exactly. This is a terrible idea. I'm fairly certain that anyone caught doing this would be immediately fired at some companies.

I would be interested, depending on the price. Closed shell design means it can be tossed into a bag without worrying about scratching the screen.

This is the dumbest reason to fire a teacher. The education system is already hurting for teachers.

More like Trump and his pals are poisoning the country.

Eat the rich!

Don't use YouTube to MP3, use one of the Deemix variants that downloads music straight from Deezer's servers.

In college, I had an Eee netbook and loved the thing. It was all I could afford for a computer at the time. I still love small computers.

Not all drugs are bad. There are some that are obviously terrible and ruin lives. There are also some that help with a wide variety of physical and mental health issues though.

Even if you're just thinking all drugs are bad, dumping people in jail for drug use/possession doesn't fix anything. Time and money would be better spent on rehabilitation in that scenario.

Decriminalizing possession helps keep people out of jail, opens the door for proper studies on effects, and can help people with chronic conditions. I have heard that microdosing shrooms is apparently helpful with treating depression. It would be nice to see more information on that.

Hah, no. The only time people think of us sysadmins is when something is broken.

Oh look, more stuff I just won't buy if prices go up.

As someone said in your other thread, you're using a quote in the title that is not in the article. It doesn't mention anything about losing satellites.

LineageOS and simply not installing Google Apps.

I would love to see it happen but will remain pessimistic. It seems all the wealthy people get away with whatever they want.

Probably mining dogecoin or something else Musk would like.

You can leave Epic on Windows please.

I still frequently wear a mask in busy/crowded areas and have probably received a dozen comments about it in the last week alone. So it definitely happens.

That would be nice, but it's Nintendo so it probably will be old by the time it comes out.

This is what I worry about. I'd say that people should vote with their wallets, but that doesn't do anything because every manufacturer follows along on stupid trends like this. Hopefully it dies at Apple this time and doesn't spread.

I don't think you've actually read any of the comments in this thread. Everything is a legit discussion of EVs and how Musk is handling this. Nobody is bashing China. If anyone is being criticized in this thread, it's Musk.

Just a quick list.

• Apple actively makes device designs more difficult to repair. Everything is either glued or soldered together.
• They purposely make it more difficult to get tools and parts. Some tools are proprietary.
• Performance per dollar is terrible. The better, slightly more repairable machines cost a ton of money. Spend the same amount of money on a regular PC and you would have a beast of a machine.
• Apple sues and/or attacks anyone who tries to help people repair their devices.
• They purposely push out OS changes that make older devices less usable.

That's not even including the treatment of employees or condition of the factories where Apple devices are built. I don't know as much about that. But I can definitely comment on the above after managing iPads and Macbooks in a corporate environment.

Yeah it makes me sad to think about that - people are going to keep buying the games regardless of how bad they get.

Seconding Patagonia. Also thrifting/reusing and repairing old clothes.

Look up 1L mini PCs - Dell, Lenovo, and HP have similar one liter mini PCs that would've been used as a lightweight frontend in offices. They are easy to find on eBay and can be pretty cheap.

For example, my lab at home consists of three Lenovo Thinkcentre tiny machines. I bought them off eBay for $60-80 USD. They each came with a 500gb HDD and 8gb RAM. I have since upgraded them all to a 500gb NVME, 500gb SSD (they have a 2.5" drive bay), and 32gb of RAM. They run as a Proxmox VE cluster.

I think I might have $500 USD into the entire setup, including my 10" wide rack enclosure.

At this point it's mainly Lemmy, Imgur, and Discord for me.
