That would make building a $2500 iPhone in the US even more difficult.

Because of the child laborers making 85 cents an hour?

Name a job where interrupting a CEO’s presentation in public wouldn’t be a terminable offense. What employee handbook says “If you’ve exhausted all other internal channels and are unhappy with the company’s direction, just call out the boss in front of thousands of people and there won’t be consequences.”

If your company is that evil and unsettling to change, you call them out and resign. Calling them out but still wanting to be paid is saying you’re okay with taking blood money as long as you’re saying it’s bad.

While I wholeheartedly agree with her message, the reality is that any employee that interrupts a company event to criticize the company until they are escorted out of the room is gonna be fired regardless of the accuracy of their statements. We should be appalled at Microsoft’s complicity in Gaza, not that they fired an employee.

I applaud her for her stand, but she and everyone knew this would result in her termination.

Software mainly. Apple made software companies pay a license to release software on the Mac, so most companies chose to release on PC exclusively.

For decades Apple paid schools to teach on their computers. In the 80s and much of the 90s, all you’d find in computer labs was Macs.

It didn’t work because PCs were just better for businesses at the time.

Adjusting for overscan in the 2000s…

It works well, and I’m a huge fan and contributor to Open Street Maps (which it’s bassed on). But it doesn’t do traffic, which is unfortunately wha I need from my navigation apps 99% of the time.

If they had a paid option to cover the costs of using TomTom’s traffic API, I’d make the switch.

Yeah, and try as we might, we haven’t been able to replicate its biggest selling point. It was unfortunately also its greatest vulnerability regarding the corporatetake over.

It was a central location from which thousands of large, niche communities could be found.

Lemmy is great, but the decentralized nature of it also fragments small communities and makes it hard for them to launch. I was super active of the Scuba subreddit, but on Lemmy, there are like 8 scuba communities spread across the instances, but they’re all so small there’s no activity on them, and that fragmentation makes it difficult for one to reach the necessary critical mass to become active.

They took 3 weeks to attach my new plotter to the network because they didn’t know how to figure out how to trace a fucking Cat 5 cable.

We have 12 employees in the city. My home office has a more complicated network closet.

Oh, I’ve tried the shared mailbox thing. I had it at my last city and it worked fine, but our third-party IT service contractor here is the shittiest I’ve ever heard of.

I work in government, and on mobile devices Outlook government accounts are restricted so that all other accounts have to be removed from the app.

It sounds like a great security feature, but since I need access to 3 accounts for reasons, I’ve got one version installed on my city phone, one on my tablet, and had to install another on my personal phone.

We’re budgeting in a second city phone for me next year because Outlook sucks.

Are we foementing revolution or creating a new compression algorithm?

Guillotines are another option.
