Look, when you're buying on margin you're taking a loan, the lender can easily decide that the loan is too risky to offer at any price, and buying stocks that are several hundred percent overvalued due to a short squeeze and will quickly come crashing again is the definition of a risky bet. If you really feel it's worth doing get a loan elsewhere and buy the stock outright instead of buying on margin.

They support TLS1.2 just fine, we have our clients pinned to 1.2/1.3 with a selection of strong ciphers and we haven't had any issues. In fact Google says over half of their traffic is TLS1.3. I have no idea how the grading algorithm is interacting with Google to get a result indicating 1.0/1.1 but they've actually talked about turning those off completely.

Exactly. Heck, due to a rash of TLS1.3 related bugs in the F5's I'm actually MORE secure running TLS1.2 with strong ciphers for now and waiting till their code matures.

Nuclear is dead, even the Chinese can't make it work economically and they have very low labor rates and lower safety standards than any country that is running plants for civilian purposes.

That last US Fusion rolled off the line on July 31st 2020. So really they only make 1 car now.

Actually EVERY state will suffer from climate change, if nothing more than the economic drain from the increased military spending fighting the conflicts that will arise from it.

The 9 ZEV states represent 28% of the US population, add in the 4 CARB states without the zero emission vehicle requirement and you have nearly 1/3 of the US population. So yeah, it's kinda not an option to ignore them.

I think we had one 55PPM model that gave us trouble over the 10 years I was at that company, but in general we had printers going 500k-1m pages without major work. A ream a day is laughably light load for the printers we were running, a ream an hour was a more typical duty cycle.The ones we had in the mail room for printing out monthly bills looks like the current version does 125PPM and is rated for 700k pages per month, I don't think we ever worked a printer quite that hard, but I do remember seeing a unit with 1.2M pages in 17 months in-service.

Kyocera is great, IF you need to print at the volumes they're designed for. If you're not printing high volume the upfront cost is going to make it uneconomical (~3x the entry price vs a Brother B&W laser). My dad uses them in his business printing tabloid sized sticky labels and invoicing documents and they just work which makes them extremely valuable in a business setting. The only downside is if you run out of something in the middle of a work day you're a lot less likely to be able to hop down to the local Staples to get a replacement, but they have a maintenance contract on them and so for most consumables there's a spare on-hand and the call-home feature has done a pretty good job of staying ahead of things like drums.

Btw if you're doing stupid high print volumes Xerox is the way to go, we had fleets of Xerox 55-65PPM MFDs at my last place that were running flat out for 10+ hours a day and rarely had issues, they were a pain to deal with on the contracts side, but the technology side generally just worked.

Yeah, you can always spot a Randian, their immediate white knighting of the abusive jerks always has a subtext of "don't regulate them, I want to jump on that bandwagon and make my illgotten millions by abusing the same thing".

No 'quick questions', no 'leaving for the store, you need anything?'.

If you work from home, you also use the internet the same way you would at the office. No social media, no browsing /., etc.

Lol, you're acting like people in an office are perfectly productive and have zero distractions. It couldn't be further from the truth, in fact when I really need to be 100% productive I turn on my noise cancelling headphones and tune out the office because there are SO many distractions and my ADD will let them take over if I allow it. Nope, if people are being less productive at home it's probably because management is not being effective without being able to shoulder surf. Set expectations and dole out reasonable workloads and you can get the same work out of people as you could in the office. It's true that certain interactions in the office are net positives for the employer, but many, many of them are a drain. The key is to capture as many of the positive ones with the technology as possible.

Ok, so there's a 7.58MW onshore turbine, that makes it even less of a problem so power a moderate datacenter with the output from a few of them =)

The largest onshore wind turbines are 4.8MW nameplate, capacity factor is creeping up in the US as these larger turbines come online. I figure those big boys are probably at ~40%, so 3.84MW average output between them, that's about average for a data center (most of the ones I toured when looking for colo space had 6x 1MW generators in an N+2 or N+1 configuration). Now I have no idea if Apple's sites are closer to a typical colo site or closer to Google scale 100MW monsters, but it's plausible that the average power ouput of those two big turbines could cover a modest location.

There have been many attacks in recent years that would exceed the total available bandwidth on the trans-pacific cable network, do we have any numbers of the size of these attacks? I'm just wondering if all of NZ and AU are likely to feel knockon effects of such attacks or if this is just a run of the mill kind of thing that hiding behind Cloudflare or one of the other DDoS services will handle?

beating out Android's entire market share.
No, just no. They do NOT have >50% marketshare in any major market in the world. Heck even in the very, very rich UAE they only have 27%. The highest they have ever achieved that I can find is 49% in the US in Q4 2019, over the year they averaged closer to 40%. In every other market they have significantly less than they do in the US. Now if you want to talk about profits or revenue, there they probably dominate completely, but in units shipped they are the simply the largest minority player, especially when you look at global statistics.
