the second time around it was not even done being built yet was still under construction job of that matter >would require a hell of lot more manpower than the imperial army had to offer

- Comment on Inflation is slowing, but the Fed now faces a tough choice on when to cut rates 4 months ago:
a lot of the jobs no one can afford to work
the monthly cost of just housing and food alone is instantly more than what employers are paying out
$7.25 an hour is still the federal minimum wage despite the fact that people voted for Biden
starting pay since the pandemic has dropped as well to $13 an hour or lower at most places
eventually no one will be able to afford to work grocery, restaurant, oil change places, or any vital one of the vital service industries
already the reality in most of the US

- Comment on Over 100 far-right militias are coordinating on Facebook 6 months ago:
Critics point out that as a Schedule III drug, marijuana would remain regulated by the DEA. That means the roughly 15,000 cannabis dispensaries in the U.S. would have to register with the DEA like regular pharmacies and fulfill strict reporting requirements, something that they are loath to do and that the DEA is ill equipped to handle.
just like they killed safer tobacco consumption methods
now we will only have dispensaries that are able to “comply” with the rules
after four years of Trump thought the US would do better than a far right religious Catholic and Prosecutor
- Comment on Microsoft announces pricing details for Extended Security Update program for Windows 10 7 months ago:
we only started these restores a year ago and when we did all the main distros and others were tested and researched on for this project
ultimately Arch was chosen due to pacman and the AUR repositories plus steam was using it
the shop packed the install with what they deemed universally needed packages including edge for the browser
most patrons do like the familiarity that it provides and edge allows for office365
a lot of us were super skeptical on this when we were told and had a lot of the same reservations but it has turned sales around one hundred percent with a lot of ewaste saved
the oldest was a centrino laptop from 2007 had the original hdd in it
the patrons either use the console and update themselves or they bring it back for updates with some watching us do the updates then doing it themselves at home
linux has made computers fun again at least at our place
- Comment on Microsoft announces pricing details for Extended Security Update program for Windows 10 7 months ago:
our pc shop restores older machines with Arch Linux using the Gnome desktop for fifty out the door and comes with a new SSD
out of all the calls we receive on jobs we have already completed Windows has more phone time and questions out of the box than Linux which surprised us
and as for troubleshooting or walking patrons through simple things Linux has been easier for them to manage and us to explain over the phone even when having to pull the console up
talking people with little to no experience with computers some being fresh beginners
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
the US thinks if it fixes a problem that all fifty states have but only fix it in a handful of states that it has solved the problem one hundred percent
meanwhile the citizens go “We have to start somewhere this is a great thing!” and the leaders never get criticized sometimes the opposite people vote them back in
then that is all you hear until the issues reach critical because everything was quarter assed at best
this is how abortion, cannabis, all kinds of insurances, education, food assistance, etcetera already are played in the US
and at that point the citizens and the states are to blame for why things suck so hard
“well they should have voted better over there it is their faults that state sucks!”
which drives us further from solutions

- Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge 9 months ago:
how do we magically get goods to and from?

have you seen what is required daily or weekly for a baby?
what about a Micro Center trip?

- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
