And from my understanding, after PG&E was held liable for their electrical lines causing deadly wildfires, they jacked the rates up even higher to cover the settlement costs.

They’ll just blame it on Biden or “communist liberal regulations” and learn nothing.

Of course it’s real easy to make this statement when it’s someone else making the sacrifice.

That goat crawled through 500 yards of shit and came out clean on the other side

That substantial risk is entirely voluntary though. Nobody is forcing them to rent out PCs and they aren’t the first rental or rent-to-own company to engage in predatory behavior.

Intel is just a portion of the CHIPS Act funding and they’re the largest fab in the US. Why wouldn’t they be included in it when the whole point is to generate more domestic manufacturing rather than “trying to pick winners and losers?” Even TSMC got some of the money, and they’re already dominating the market, which arguably makes even less sense to award them taxpayer dollars.

With the CHIPS Act funding they can’t do stock buybacks.

To less than what it was a month ago.

As with my analogy above, the trip length (data size) is still the same whether you get there in 30 minutes or an hour. Your data usage won’t change unless you were somehow delayed from using it all, which isn’t really a thing unless we’re talking about super slow speeds like 1-5Mbps. Your demand for data and the speed at which you can get it aren’t necessarily related to one another.

I’m pretty sure they all know this already.

I’d support banning it for everyone as well.

How can you look at the state of things pretty much everywhere since social media has become so ubiquitous and think that it has no effect on people, young people especially? It’s full of hate, envy, propaganda, and brainwashing

Unless I’m misunderstanding your question, disabling QoS shouldn’t have any effect on your data cap because it’s just speeding things up (bandwidth) rather than increasing the amount of data used. Think of it like taking a 100 mile trip at 100MPH versus 50MPH. You’re doing the same distance just in half the time.

Crack a window, buddy.

Did ya get that memo, Bob?

We handle a lot of IP so I can’t install anything on the PC that isn’t pre-approved (like MS Teams). I am able to add certain extensions like Ublock but not others like Keepa (Amazon price tracker).

Unfortunately I’m stuck with Chrome at work so having something like Ublock Lite available is somewhat helpful. I just hope it still blocks youtube ads because they’re the worst.

Wouldn’t this make your phone reboot all night while you’re sleeping?

Because 9800 is 25.6% larger of a number than 7800.
