You missed the best part and directly related to this story. Texas got rid of the mandate that construction companies provide breaks for their workers in high heat.

This doesn't mean the company can't give their workers breaks, just that it is no longer mandated. How many do you think no longer give these breaks?

This is one of the oldest rationalizations for shitty behavior: "if I won't do it, somebody else will anyway".

Yup, and it's used to this day to justify genocide.

This is no different than requiring the manufacturer to include a warning about the stove tipping over if there is no anti-tipping bracket installed. Consumers are being warned of the issue.

If they're going to whine about this, might as well whine about every other warning they are required to provide with their product.

Keep in mind, N-Shitty-A are deliberately restricting DLSS updates to the 40X0 series or later. The 30X0 series are unduly hamstrung by N-Shitty-A not properly updating the drivers, just so N-Shitty-A can try to force people to buy new cards every 3 years.

The Federal Reserve is only getting a response rate of approximately 42% when it sends out its surveyes. Since they only send out a little over one thousand surveys, trying to guesstimate policy for an entire country based on that response rate is effectively impossible.

First, their sample size is too small to begin with. They should sample at least three times the number they currently do. Second, who they sample also needs expanded. Getting a response from Corning is significantly different than getting a response from Billy Bob's Downhome Fried Chicken in Bumfook, Louisiana.

This lack of response, as this article relates, carries over into people getting surveys. Being asked 5-10 questions is far different than being given a booklet of 100 questions to answer. You need to make it easy for people to respond. Blind calling no longer works, as many on here have pointed out. Send people a letter with uniquely identifiable information they can use to complete a survey online. Since they won't be handing out their personal information it will make it easier for people to respond. Just use the code given and keep it down to a few questions.

The one quibble I have with USB-C is the pin doesn't seat far enough into a device. It's one thing if the connection is vertical. The pin is sitting in the port. However, when plugged in sidewarys, that itsy bitsy pin now has to bear all the weight of the cable pulling it down.

To me, that seems like stress which doesn't need to be there.

If I knew that, I'd be a tech billionaire inventing them.

The best part of innovations is that they are NOT obvious, but once they are in the world, you can't do without.

and barely knows what it is or how to pronounce it like an everyday term normal people use.

At this point, he's barely cognizant of where he's at.

Delete those and I'll go another 10%.

Everyone knows what the MKV format is. It's something they use every day. No need to offer an explanation of what MKV offers compared to other formats. It's as clear as granite.

Let the kids die. That'll teach 'em a lesson.

Quite so. It's been how many years since something really new came out of Cupertino? Granted, Apple is more profitable than ever, but the company clearly shows what the result of placing a supply-chain expert as the CEO does.

The really sad part is that there's nobody ELSE, either. Microsoft hasn't invented anything ever, Facebook and Google are busy selling our personal data to advertisers, and who else is there who can risk a billion on an innovation that may or may not work out?

Oh look, Nazi Turd gweihir is back. Kill yourself already you sick childraping Klan Asshole.

Anytime there's an economic downturn, companies reduce their advertising budget. That includes reducing their own advertising staff and reducing their paid advertising expenses. The result is always cuts in media budgets who primarily bank on advertising revenue for operations.

Some podcasts are already adapting by asking regular listeners to join premium tiers (and the great ones get great buy-in) or moving their podcasts to subscription services like SiriusXM to kept a piece of the subscription revenue.
