Similar to how companies are reaching to create the death machine from the book "do not create the death machine", companies are racing to create the "dead internet", where even if humanity dies, there will still be internet traffic.

Yep, companies give "unlimited PTO" because it's a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

Give them 20 days PTO/year? They'll take around 20 a year.

Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

I have not wrapped my head around the latest absurd naming schemes from Intel and AMD. I thought the core Ultra parts were mobile chips?

  3. Grift through a GoFundMe
  4. ???
  5. Race war!

Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any "questionably acquired" content.

Honestly, this does explain why vendors like HP seem to have every possible combo of device available in their business class laptops as Intel CPU options, but it's sometimes like pulling teeth to get equivalent AMD options.

It's sometimes a PITA if a client specifically wants an AMD machine for some reason.

It was obviously a temporal anomaly.

Or each grain of rice is a Q, just paying a visit. An ensign tried to vacuum up the rice before the ceremony and was turned into a bowl of petunias, so Janeway took the hint and left the rice alone.
