I say they’re weak because it is a proxy war. They’re going all out, while NATO powers are tangentially supplying Ukraine. If it was a direct NATO intervention, it would not be going nearly as well for them. They thought they would be in and out in 3 days, we’re approaching 4 years and it has greatly exposed how dilapidated their military infrastructure is.

Sadly a good chunk of the good ones were fired, and the others are too scared about their pensions to do anything. The rest have been installed by our glorious dictator and also suck his cock on the daily.

I find it interesting that they are very weak in a traditional military sense, but their intelligence, posturing and political power is stupidly effective.

It’s like they learned that information is the new warfare and trained on that while letting their traditional forces fall apart.

Who the fuck named these this and why?

Has anyone asked these CEOs: “Okay, let’s follow this to its conclusion: you’re laying off thousands of jobs citing AI, and other CEOs are doing the same. There are hundreds of thousands of unemployed people with a gap of available jobs. How do you expect them to survive?”

I know the answer they’re thinking is “go work the fields from all the people we deported”, but I’d love to at least seem them dance or flounder.

So Microsoft is so diversified, 130K isn’t even a drop to them. We had almost 200K seats of E3 and when I calculated out the revenue from our EA vs their total revenue, it came up to something like 0.012%. Even though it was tens of millions of dollars on our end, we’re still a drop in the bucket to them.

Or you could make sure it always goes up.

Frankly I’ve never had any issues running Windows 11. It’s just the OS in the background for me. I think the biggest difference is I always run Enterprise versions (not Pro or Home) and most of that crap is either non-existent, disabled by default or easy to disable via GPO.

The big thing for people to realize is that Enterprise is the version most all businesses (especially large ones) run, and Microsoft isn’t going to crap on them as easily. And they know by extension, people will run what their business is, but they can get away with making Pro and Home crappier since it’s just individuals who would switch, not large swaths.

Where are you all posting that have such heavy handed mods?

Careful. Y’alqueda is gonna start forcing you to input your Drivers License and only allow you to play as your gender listed on it.

So they were trying to make a third game without Jenson when that’s exactly what was needed to bridge between him and JC Denton.

I’ll also never forgive Square for shelving the third game to chase money with the Avengers game that now no one remembers except to call hate on for bumping DX.

Yup. Quic, for example, layers on UDP instead of TCP. It’s still an IP based protocol. But then you can also get things like FCoE which don’t even use TCP/UDP. Or even ATM which uses its own frame structure. There’s plenty of reasons to need to understand the OSI model.

Once upon a time there were more protocols than just TCP/IP. You could have IPX/SPX, Baynes and others.

Hell. Even now with the introduction of Quic, it’s starting to change the use of TCP/IP, so having a general understanding of the layers in an abstracted manner let you map them to the different syntaxes that are out there. Kind of like programming languages.

Thanks. Thats really annoying that they send out the 1095-C forms then. Just a waste at that point.

When did they repeal that?

And isn’t there still that stupid law in place saying you have to have health coverage and get like a 1095-C stating which months you did, otherwise they penalize you on your taxes and potentially jail?

Nothing like a double whammy.

Given that a chunk of Americans want to go back to the 1950s, unmitigated domestic abuse sounds par for the course.

A memorial implies something I’m all for when it comes to that Cheeto.

I do take some minor pleasure that it still bothers him. So there’s that at least.

Still rocking my Harmony. Gonna be so pissed when it dies.
