How well do those work? Is it seamless or do I need to spend hours fiddling with it to get a program to work?


Short version - there’s too many elderly people in China and not enough working age so the economy is suffering. So they changed it to max of 3 but people aren’t interested in having more than one. This will take a long time to recover from. As their society has seen a drastic disparity in age and sex, the importance of women to societal growth means that women have more bargining power to push for woman’s rights. While India continues to breed like rabbits.
As a side thought, I wonder if this will push China to take drastic measures rather than see their country wither away.


If we can convince the ignorant masses to stop buying based on consumerism and purchase based on well informed decisions instead then we would see a shift in enshittification or at least have alternatives. But that’s very unlikely since it’s easier to conform and fall in line and accept your fate.


So I hear there’s a way to use Linux to emulate Windows so you can use Windows apps?


The ONLY way to stop someone who really really really wants into your house from entering your house. Is to not have a house.
I wouldn’t say “nothing”, just not very successful.
There have been peaceful protests, violent protests, and some people have tried taking another person’s life. So it’s probably going to be an interesting next couple of years


As in a swing too far in the opposite direction, if you keep reading I meant for a swing to a more moderate state of being


Short answer is nope.
If you mean for political reasons, no, because unless Trump succeeded in creating dynasty that many people are talking about then there is hope that someone will step in and force the government back in the right direction. So this will be a temporary setback.
Now when I mean set it back in the right direction I don’t mean back to the far left either, I mean I hope for a reasonable rational leader willing to work to a better future for all Americans. Both sides have lost what it means to work for all Americans as the president of the USA and not just their party extremists.
As an average low middle class American, life isn’t terrible but economic insecurity and living costs are becoming a major issue that is directly connected to Trump. Cost is up 30% in the last year, privacy is under attack again, consumer protections are being stripped away, environmental protections are being removed, general infrastructure investments are being defunded, public relief and assistance being removed, AI is out of control, and there are fewer jobs being created. While Trump lies and tries to cover it up, he is actually firing people in the government or refusing to release negative data to the public in an effort to cover it up. He is actively silencing people which goes against a core American belief that this country was founded on.


All I read was “data collection first”


That’s every company, most upper management don’t stay in one position for more than 2 years. So the system is setup for short term gains because investors aren’t interested in long term investments and the blowback is the next guys problem. Who then is looking for the next big win to cover up the last guy issues without fixing anything. Then they bring in someone to clean up the mess and the cycle starts again.
Plus most consumers have short memories or don’t have an alternative so their stuck. There are small groups holding on but for 75% of the world’s population right now it’s Android or iOS, AMD or Intel, AMD or NVIDIA, Samsung or WD or Seagate or SanDisk, Att or Verizon, Apple or Microsoft, and so on.


Why put a weight? DDR2 weight vs DDR5 weight difference wouldn’t be noticeable until they put the weight in because now it would weight 3x what it should. I suspect the person claiming fraud is the one committing fraud or this is a fake article.
Remaking a movie or retelling a story or changing a political event or casting an unbelievable caste just because it fits today’s politically correct views.
This thing happened so stop pretending it didn’t or your historical piece is now fantasy or now it’s completely unbelievable.
Stop remaking movies and changing the tone or message. Here’s a novel idea for you film makers, you can make a new movie with a similar plot but with a different name, now we won’t be going in with raised expectations.


Take the time to do it right the first time but also don’t waste time if it doesn’t add value.
Having a process is great but if the process exceeds the value then the process not only harms profit margins but also erodes morale. If the reason a process exists is to counter bad behavior then it’s an employee problem not a process problem.
Open office floorplans are a terrible idea!
Work from home shouldn’t be considered a given based on the job tasks but a privilege and benefit extended to those employees that have shown the discipline and reliability to work from home. But the in office requirement shouldn’t be forced on everyone just to satisfy a “butts in seat policy” or a managers insecurity.


Low voltage electrical engineer!


The issue that I take with AI is that it’s having a similar effect on ignorance that the Internet created but worse. It’s information without understanding. Imagine a highschool drop out that is a self proclaimed genius and a Google wizard, that is AI, at least at the moment.
Since people imagine AI as the super intelligence from movies they believe that it’s some kind of supreme being. It’s really not. It’s good at a few things and you should still take it’s answers with skepticism and proof read it before copy/paste it’s results into something.
Just wait until a luxury cruise liner hits it and and gets shit everywhere then they might clean it up.
Like Titanic except they will wish that the ship went down when they are covered in literal months old rancid fat.
