I was in endpoint management and security until last year. I got my A+ and sec+, and couldn’t find a job. I did actually find a job, but these fucks wanted to pay me less than I’m making in business ops now. So anything bad these companies have coming to them, they absolutely deserve it.

How much concrete did they pour to build the infrastructure needed to host the games? I’d really like an analysis of that and the carbon footprint left behind by a few dozen AC units over a couple weeks.

I don’t think it’s illegal (at least in the US), but it’s a great way to have your best talent split for greener pastures while the mediocre and lesser talented employees hang around forever.

I work in the same industry as Dell and turned down a job there for a reseller who will let me work remotely in perpetuity.

As my accountant once told me: if it floats, flies, or fucks, lease it.

Or do you have an UA credit card?

Ah yes, you’re one of those people. “We should legislate what people do with their own bodies because I don’t like their decisions”

You people are already ruining the US, so now let’s do it to the world. Except that it was mentioned in the article that this was legislated and settled over 20 years ago where she lives.

As someone who daily drives a 20 year old Toyota, I couldn’t agree more.

Libraries, interstate highways, fire departments, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, are all things that are socialist programs here in the US, and they all work. Now, if they did higher education and healthcare, we might get somewhere.

Wait, what now? Do they walk around making tourists piss in cups if they look like they smoked weed?

Pasta salad and mayo just sounds wrong to me. I generally use a red wine vinaigrette, it holds up better at a barbecue.

I feel personally attacked by this comment.

Internet connected (smart) or non-internet connected (dumb). At least that’s what this phrase means with all other context.

When people refer to “smart” vs “dumb” cars, I don’t think they’re referring to the ECU. They’re referring to internet connected vs non-internet connected cars, in which internet connectivity is still a fairly recent development.

I daily drive a vehicle with a factory tape deck and CD changer, where all the electronics work flawlessly, from the sunroof to the back window rolling down. My wife wants me to ditch it, but they’re going to have to pry the keys out of my cold, dead hands.

They also have a reputation for not breaking.

I suppose if you go back to the ‘80s models or earlier this might be true. Otherwise, my first exhibit to the contrary would be plastic water pumps and plastic timing chain guides.

Clean water, air, and food. There’s plastic in everything. I don’t think any of us will ever get to experience any of this ever again.

This is precisely what I came in here to say.

Did he say “achtung scheiße”? Those are literally the only two German words I know.

So now I’m wondering what happens with new (or connected used) cars sold in California. Does CCPA have any teeth here?

Thank you very much for that. I work in an industry (in the US), but we have increasingly detailed training on GDPR, HIPAA (US healthcare information regulations), CCPA (California’s version of GDPR) and on and on. I didn’t know the UK had their own version.

The lack of uniformity in the US is making it increasingly difficult to comply with everything over here, with states constantly passing their own laws on digital privacy, but those penalties for non compliance vary so greatly it’s almost impossible to follow.
