Not for nothing, it doesn’t sound so successful.

Working with people is a very core skill. You suggest that this came out of the blue - but I would bet that there were a lot of missed signals on the way. Escalating straight to verbal warnings and demotion in role or responsibility means you’re missing something very fundamental in what wasn’t working or was missed.

Should this link somewhere?

How could Intel gatekeep a standard that’s fairly open?

Is one of those restrictions that the woman, who can’t go anywhere without a male relative, has no say?

Charity is a big talking point for Rs too, they just don’t think the state should do any of it. Lots of them still tithe.

Which countries are shining examples of Islam at work? I’m having a hard time coming up with any that don’t have staggering wealth inequality.

Abortion, abstinence, women’s subservience. American Arabs vote democrat because the republicans would be happy if they were dead.

But if you asked a practicing Muslim and a republican for their views on a wide range of issues except which god you worship, you’ll find there are many more similarities than you are suggesting.

Famous for their distributing the wealth to people who need it, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are positively wonderful places for the working class 🙄

They agree on a lot of things - but the color of their skin and the god they respectively worship is a real big divide.

For anyone on the outside who doesn’t care which god or skin color, they look practically identical.

Jokes on them, still didn’t read it.

I don’t think anyone is surprised that Arab leaders don’t like Biden right now. Not exactly a brave new take that would be surprising to anyone.

It sends a message, I guess. But doesn’t change anything.

It’s probably more about aggressive default bios speeds. Tweak your c states / bios overclocking / pcie power management / windows power management features. Idle power has gone down on most chips.

The Ryzen 3000 should truly idle closer to 20-30w.

If you have multiple GPUs in your home server you’re probably doing it wrong. But even then, at idle, with no displays connected, the draw will be surprisingly low.

Most systems with some ssd/NVMe, 2-4 DIMMs and maybe a drive or two should idle closer to 50w-60w.

Go tweak your power and fan settings. 100w at idle is way too much unless it’s 15 years old.

Fans, especially small ones are very sneaky energy hogs. Turn them waaay down.

Good, they weren’t doing a great job. Maybe Google is going to move this in house.

They cut supply in like September. They were all fighting for market share still, largely driven by Samsung, hence the low prices.

Server shipments were way down because everyone overbought in 2021/2022.

The NAND market has always been an antitrust shit show.

They also drastically cut supply.

Juniper did a pretty good job of that themselves over the last few years.

Every single one of those apps supports in app payments/subscriptions. You can subscribe directly from the app.

So, no, you don’t.

And if Hey added that, they would be fine.

This is the reason Apple didn’t lose their antitrust cases - they apply their rules pretty uniformly unlike Google which made all sorts of exceptions and side deals.

Sure, but it’s infinitely harder on iOS to install malware, spyware or something else, I’m sure you’d agree. How many times have you looked at someone complaining about their computer being slow and they have 74 browser weather extensions and bars all siphoning data and doing who knows what.

It’s also easier to track down the publisher of a scam app to figure out who’s doing the scamming.

Simply put, I have less to worry about with older folks in my life using iOS than something else.

First off, she isn’t dumb at all. Just easily overwhelmed by technology. She was suspicious and took the time to try to find apple’s phone number to call them, but probably got bit by someone scamming google’s SEO so google spit out a scam number.

They started using USBC on Macs and iPads forever ago. They weren’t forced to do anything. When they switched from 30 pin to lightning everyone was pissed. They guaranteed 10 years of support for lightning. Which drum roll… expired in 2022. https://www.theverge.com/23312359/apple-iphone-lightning-cable-anniversary-10-years

If you don’t like it just buy android and windows devices? It’s not like there’s no choices and you’re screwed. It’s also not like they changed their stance over time. Whether you bought iPhone 1 or iPhone 15 the experience has been more or less the same ecosystem wise.

Apple does that for enterprise profiles and vpn profiles on iOS. Guaranteed you can talk most people into doing that without much trouble.
