You're the first to go and the least likely to be treated with any respect.
FARK.com went through a similar "cleansing" a while back, again motivated by the desire for advertising revenue. I moved to IMGUR as an alternative to FARK.
That was done with a few other sites in an attempt to contain the GamerGate controversy. It failed.
For those coming from the SJW-friendly sectors of Reddit (such as SRS,Ghazi):
Quit trying to harass the non-SJW population while you're still behind.
Scratch Huawei anything and you'll see Nortel & PRC military markings under it.
The requisite denial by China says it all.
I have lots of people in my life that need ZERO ports on their laptop.
The workers that actually have to deal with it are further screwed - contract labor makes things as healthy and stable as being next to a malfunctioning nuclear reactor. Long-term anything goes out the window and compensation is made on worse terms.
The promise of the cloud is that your storage and computing problems will be abstracted away from messy physical objects that you need to maintain, taken care of far way by other people that are not well treated for their work.
At least the first mainframe era had some respect for the people involved in the infrastructure. These days, globalization has killed it in favor of mistreatment and abstraction of the workforce.
The prior owners of Volvo would not have done it that badly.
Those modifications were my doing.
What do you do about the Enter key on the numeric keypad? The F has a stabilizer wire which the M lacks, so if you put the black key on as-is it sits limply and doesn't click properly.
Use one of the stabilizer plugs on the lower barrel (gray, plugs in one of the barrels). It'll work just fine.
Similarly, the spacebar stabilizer wire is different - how do you get the black spacebar to attach properly?
One of the stabilizer wires will attach to the M13 spacebar and the keyboard itself.
I see that whoever did that mod changed the F to ANSI layout. I kept mine as ISO but that meant I had to stay with a few non-black keys.
That's also my doing. Unlike the M, changing keys requires less toolwork; you only need a flat-tip screwdriver, pliers, and careful attention as the plate cover slides right out.
The only word of caution that I have is that fixing broken traces is a PITA.
Enough with the economic nationalism already.
Not going to happen as long as there's an effort to oppose US citizens. No sense in taking envious jabs out at the modern-day Roman Empire just because you live on the wrong side of it.
Why do kids born in America deserve higher wages and better jobs than immigrants?
The US has a higher degree of personal freedom not present in nearly all the offshoring destinations. In every sense of the word, businesses in this environment hate freedom.
Are the immigrants not human too?
Guest workers are not immigrants. Before you ask, mine came to live long, prosperous lives as citizens.
I would just respond that this same globalization has pulled far more humans out of poverty than any aid program ever has or will.
The vast body of evidence would point to a large wealth transfer that penalizes freedom.
A potential hire is not better or more deserving of a job just by virtue of being an American.
Given that the American has more freedom than the typical guest worker (or their home country), that alone is enough justification.
Companies I have been at have lost good talent due to visa snafus and quota and time limits.
There was even better talent that was right in the US. Unfortunately, you weren't willing enough to work with US citizens in good faith.
So stop pretending that H1B visa holders are a threat to some supposed right you have to a job you do not otherwise qualify for.
Then stop with the unrealistic requirements that are designed solely to disqualify US citizens. The citizens are qualified, especially those that are asked to train guest worker replacement, you just have an anti-citizen bias. Your best bet would be to prepare to accept the idea that US citizens are qualified.
The guest worker program has never been about freedom; it has been about making an end-run around the Constitution's provisions prohibiting slavery and indentured servitude.
If you actually controlled for admissions criteria, which no current ranking system (especially PISA), the US would be much higher.
