I get the impression that a company like ADP requires that an employer employ at least some minimum number of employees in an area. Otherwise, ADP appears to fall back to printing paper checks for the employer to mail. I don't know the specifics; I just know that I got ADP paper at one job after a bunch of layoffs, and I got ADP paper when I was the only remote worker in a particular state.
I also prefer checks over credit cards because I don't want Visa getting any of my money.
Technically those fees are paid by the merchants, though a recent settlement with MasterCard and VISA may change things a bit.
Visa, MasterCard reach $38 billion swipe fee settlement, draw opposition
In my experience at my last three jobs (in the midwestern USA), small businesses that don't have enough employees in an area have to print and mail paper payroll checks instead of paying their employees through direct deposit.
require location services to always be activated in smartphones with no option for users to disable them.
The battery will love this.
Their financials certainly look like they're in dire straits.
It seems Warner can't catch a break. Time Warner's financials were in dire straits in 2004 as well with a load of debt from the AOL merger. That time, they paid their debt by selling Dire Straits and the rest of Warner Music Group to Edgar Bronfman Jr.

I was going to snark about how Trump will just pardon them for this "white collar" crime, but then saw their names. Guess they'll either have to buy a *bunch* of his crypto or become presidents of another country, like former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez - convicted of conspiring in smuggling +400 tons of cocaine into the U.S., sentenced to 45 years in prison 1 year ago, and just pardoned (at the recommendation of Roger Stone and others).

Am I the only person on the planet who still opens the garage door with, you know, my hands? Is that completely crazy? Am *I* crazy?
Around my neighborhood almost no one parks in the garage (they park in their driveway, or the street). The garage is where you store stuff (and you rarely open the garage door).
I park in the driveway because it's difficult to get into my garage. It's a 90 degree turn and there's fencing along the top and opposite sides of the driveway. Not impossible, but a PITA.
Also, insert joke/commentary about "parking on a driveway" and "driving on a parkway."
Trump backed federal measure that would block states from passing AI laws for a decade
Which rich, tech-bro, donors running AI companies whispered this idea into his ear?
When you sit on the toilet you connect your butthole up to the large network of connected buttholes.
Not mine, just astonishing relevant.
I remember when cars were made from STEEL, had STEEL chrome bumpers. If you bumped into someone, you might
scratch the chrome. Now, bump into someone and it is a multi-thousand dollar repair! Plus, with all the electronic sensors
and what not, makes it even more expensive.

Here’s Why That Rivian R1T Repair Cost $42,000 After Just A Minor Fender-Bender
Trump is transactional. All he cares about is money and ego.
* glances over at the combined fiscal and narcissistic worth of the Pelosis, Clintons, and OBidens *
Maybe if it were only slightly less blatantly fucking obvious..
You can glance at them all you want, but they're not even close to Trump - by an order of magnitude, or two.
This discusses recent presidential net worth before and after and how they made their money: Chart Shows Net Worth of US Presidents Before and After Office (2024) with Obama and Clinton making most of it after leaving office, and Biden from real-estate . Trump lost money after his first term due to the economic downturn during the pandemic and $590M in loan repayments and is currently raking it in via various, putting it politely, avenues (link below).
The net worth as of 2025 (various Google results):
Bidens: $10M - mostly property
Obamas: $70M - mostly books
Clintons: $300M - books, speaking, investments, consulting
Trump: $6.2B (down from $7.3B) - most while *in* office: Presidency Boosts Trump’s Net Worth By $3 Billion In A Year
Pelosis: $280M - investments (big-cap tech stocks) and real estate (most probably during her 40 years in office) and her husband is a venture capitalist.
List of presidents of the United States by net worth: #1: Trump, #4 Clinton, #12: Obama, #25 Biden.
Ya, but once everything is available as cloud-only services, how much RAM and storage will us consumers really need?
This is the difference between a government that cares about consumer rights, and a government who gleefully applies the lube for corporations to fuck you with.
You get lube? Luxury!
I bought a pretty powerful gaming desktop 8 or 10 years ago. Now it still runs all of the games I play
I have a Dell XPS 420, that a friend gave me years ago, that is currently running Windows 10 just fine. Don't know when he got it, but the system came out in 2007. I'm sure it would run Linux (Mint) very well too, though I'll be switching to a system I built already running Mint 22.2 (ASRock Z77 Extreme3, Intel i7-3770, 32GB RAM). Neither system meets the (arbitrary) HW requirements for Windows 11, if I even wanted to use it. I also have several other very old Intel-based systems that run Linux fine as well as one Athlon 64 X2 system running OPNsense. Newer isn't always better - use and needs count for more.
