I'm a sys admin in the public sector and the hardware requirements of W11 are a great blessing. I couldn't have convinced thousands of workers to switch to Linux and get used to another GUI but this forces it on us because there simply is no money to replace all that hardware. Rolling out Mint clients and between this and mobile operating systems Microsoft is finally losing its monopoly on the OS market.

Wouldn't even be surprised if vietnamese use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the rhino horn in a lab to then proceed and ignore all scientific evidence that it doesn't do shit to treat their hangover.
Strangely worded. "Tariff fears" sounds like something uncertain but the tariffs are in effect. They have to pay 15% tariffs right now so they'll pass part of that on. The 50$ increase doesn't even cover it.
It's phrased so weirdly. Like he can't afford a car anymore as a measly millionaire.
I used to play WoW 5v5 arena competitively in 2007. This was way before they went hard on e-sports so it's not really comparable to today. Just to give you some perspective, the winning team at blizzcon got $25k which meant $5k each which (again, only in case of winning the world championship) would've just so covered my travel costs.
Honestly it was terrible. At first I used to play for fun and only accidentally ended up in a top team. Then my team got way too ambitious and it became more of a chore. I told them early on that I had no interest in playing like that but they couldn't find a replacement so I kept playing with them until I was fully burned out. It was nice being good at something but it ruined the fun of it.
arrive at your hotel in north korea. the facade falls over and reveals a rock mine. turn around to get to the closest airport. it's also a rock mine. blyat.
It's usually nonsense. I remember some carbon offsets being a guy owning a forest and essentially selling his inaction as a carbon offset. Give me a million dollars so I don't chop all those trees down which I totally would've done otherwise. It's just pushing numbers around on a spreadsheet.
In this case I can imagine their calculations being wildly off. How much CO2/methane does a ton of poop actually release? How much CO2 is released to transport that ton and build the facilities that hold it?
Microsoft burying the steaming pile of poop that is teams will be enough to "offset" all their data centers.
He's there when you really don't want him to be but when you want him he'll be lying in his own vomit on that burger king parking lot.
Step 1: Feed the rich with fancy vertically farmed strawberries till they're fat and juicy
Step 2: eat the rich.
It's a simple plan. It's a good plan.
But the donations are only necessary because of inflated salaries. It's like saying we have to pay this pastry chef because the pastry chef loves to eat their own cake. They're just feeding themselves.
The cost of server infrastructure is comparatively tiny so if they'd run it lean it'd have enough cash to last ages already. Also posting a banner on their site with massive reach isn't exactly rocket surgery.
I know there are worse things but I strongly dislike nonprofits wasting donation money.
