Presumably they'd at least 'want' to speak to those involved and log the report, even if the claim is unverifiable.

In this way they'd become aware that repeat incidents, should they occur, were at least repeats, as opposed to an (alleged) isolated case.

Hard to spot patterns of (mis)behaviour by your employees if there's no institutional memory...

"Ridiculous" left conversations about Apple hardware long ago. Apple went right past Ludicrous (too "Tesla-y") and went straight to Asinine mode in the last few years, and dismissive attitudes are why we now have soldered CPUs. Soon, people will be dismissing soldered hard drives and memory as "expected", and this mentality will infect every other company selling hardware.

A top-of-the-line Mac Mini (that still had user-replaceable storage and memory) was barely over $1000 in 2012. A top-of-the-line Mac Mini is now over $4000, and Apple labels this as their "entry-level" model. Speaking of memory upgrades, that'll cost you $1400 for 64GB of Apple memory. You've got to be fucking kidding me. If the CPI was tied to this company's profit margins, millionaire would describe poverty.

Not sure what I despise more; Apple's greed, or the consumers who demand it.

Decoding is still a bit slow. But development of dav1d is progressing and it's achieving big speedups over libaom.

Silver nitrate and the original magnetic core memory had about the same lifespan. However, you run into problems of size, speed of access, etc. For those youngsters who never encountered it, core memory was an improvement on the Williams memory device that had been used in previous generations of machines. It used slowly-decaying magnetic fields to store information for 100+ years. This made it the world's first electronic non-volatile storage. At a density of 32 kbits per cubic foot, it was also very inefficient.

So, whilst it's not quite correct to say that old-fashioned film is better than all digital in terms of longevity, it's better than most and those that come close in longevity don't come close in information density. High-grade medium film carries a LOT of information in a couple of square inches.

If you actually want to do something with it, Mini-ITX makes a lot more sense, lots of AM4/Ryzen motherboards available for cheap. Stick in a 2600 for a highly respectable compact PC.

Yes, AV1 is a royalty-free, efficient video codec that has good industry support. Anyone can implement AV1 without having to pay patent licensing fees, as opposed to H.264 and most especially as opposed to HEVC (aka H.265).

AV1 outperforms VP9 and as time goes on AV1 will become the dominant video codec on the web.

I can think of one: when it comes to open standards, Microsoft has historically been so far behind the curve that you had to just assume they might catch up because you couldn't see them anymore. Seriously, do you know how many years it was until they finally fully supported PNG images let alone PNG images with transparency? I'm pretty sure it took two decades.

It doesn't really matter, this thing is way too expensive for anybody to want it. What is Apple thinking, I love it.

You want a small computer, get a NUC. You want a decent computer don't get a mini.

Hopefully the people negotiating with him in those cities realized that Bezos already had a house there, so clearly he likes that city. Therefore they wouldn't need to negotiate quite as much as another city might.

HAHAHAHAHA

Right.

Meanwhile in reality, government negotiators are so dumb, they probably threw in perks for Bezo's personal real estate to sweeten the deal of moving his business headquarters there.
