remote work is pretty prevalent in finance/banking - at my job only the customer facing folks (branch offices, investment/mortgage, etc) need to actually be in the office - that’s only 30% of the workforce. another 15% is hybrid now, the rest are 100% remote.

VPN services are widely used by businesses - does this prohibition affect them?

ah, power constraints. yeah that tracks

the “change” is that laptop ram is socketed again?

LLM’s will probably improve at an exponential level - similar to how cpu’s did in the 80s/90s. in ~10 generations the LLMs will likely be very useful

what State’s have battery fabs? not KY, obviously - but, others, presumably?

really hope so - my work’s ServiceDesk is based in India and they’re barely functional - nothing gets fixed until the problem gets passed to an American IT person.

use win11 at work, dont like it much. when win10 hits EoL I’ll dither for a year or so before switching over to mint or some other distro full time

eh, I could just pirate their words if I so chose & there’d be fuckall they could do about it

probably a good thing but just banning something doesnt do anything - you have to enforce it by getting rid of the software & then keep enforcing it

was cp/m really that good? never used it and all of the media I’ve seen of it looks like just another variant of dos. i grew up using dos, and I use the shell for a lot of stuff at work all the time these days, but i think most people prefer to interact via a gui

cool - but if their product lines are modular and they try to break out of their niche market. whats to stop someone with a lot more capital from snapping them up (Dell, Lenovo, etc)?

lol wat. why?

had no idea they were still in production

i got an amazonbasics one for really cheap - wont link it but it’s held up really well and is very comfortable.

cant imagine that Nintendo will let that fly for very long…

if a content creator doesnt want people to be able to skip the ads/demonetize the content, then they should post on a platform that makes ads mandatory.

problem is that no one will watch crap on that sort of platform

find what ports it communicates on and block those ports. done
