The return items aren’t inspected thoroughly before getting tossed into these pallet auctions. Any open-box return goes straight to them, which enables all kinds of return fraud like this.

These products are not being scrapped, they’re ending perpetual licensing. Broadcom wants all customers under a subscription model to milk the most money out of them.

I didn’t realize states had the power to block federal personnel from performing their duties. Maybe they should activate the National Guard to protect the border patrol guys so they can do their jobs.

Don’t worry, YouTube, I won’t be using your website anymore. But my yt-dl will be ripping max quality videos by the hundreds, just for shits and giggles.

It is indeed what they want.

I’m in tech and there’s a lot of dead weight in my company, but our layoffs don’t really target those people. We just lost several of the best engineers in my department for stupid reasons (introducing a new c-suite position), and it caused problems immediately.

90 days is pretty standard in the US, at least with bigger companies that have to abide by the WARN Act

…why not simply raise your prices to some level where you can afford to pay your employees? Pawning all the individual costs as separate line items on customer receipts will just run people off to better-managed restaurants.

If I go to a restaurant and have anything more than my food + a tip (which I can choose myself) + taxes show up on my bill, I’ll happily dispute the bonus charges with a manager or my credit cards.

If they don’t want to recognize international law, maybe we shouldn’t recognize them as a sovereign nation.

But that’s their goal, they want kids to be stupid so they’ll vote republican when they grow up.

They also put “warranty void if removed” stickers on everything, yet can’t legally void your warranty if you remove the sticker and open a device.

+1 for Unraid, setup is super easy and being able to mix different size disks is pretty awesome. Their Docker catalog is nice but I try to avoid spinning too much up on my NAS itself- its CPU is a hand-me-down from one of my old gaming PCs.

They don’t even design their sound to be good in all theaters, just ones with “top of the line” audio systems, which means the audio is likely to suck if you go to your local AMC or other chain.

He’s also said before that they just don’t care if some dialogue is inaudible, apparently shitty sound is just part of the experience, intentionally. Maybe we should stop buying tickets and Blu-Ray’s of his movies until they start making good movies.

What’s a tortuguita?

He is innocent until proven guilty by a judge or jury, after all. Why would anyone be able to appeal a decision that hasn’t happened yet?

There hasn’t been a court ruling in the US that makes training a model on copyrighted data any sort of violation. Regurgitating exact content is a clear copyright violation, but simply using the original content/media in a model has not been ruled a breach of copyright (yet).

Yes, it’s part of their job.

Lemmy points were never supposed to be cumulative, you’re just using some app that did it themselves until whatever they used to gather the data changed.

They have to retain their primary residence in their home district, otherwise they’d be ineligible for their position. Putting them in some cheap gov housing while they’re in DC would be a good solution though.

It’s almost like being a public servant isn’t intended to make you wealthy. $174k per Congressperson is more than double the average household income, so they can make it work.
