Comment Re:Many Mac users can use web-mail (Score 1) 70

Why go the Mac route, when those are more expensive?
a) Because they are not more expensive.
b) because they offer their high quality workers a choice: Windows, Linux, Mac
c) because they run software, only available on Macs

But if they went w/ that, they'd have picked a different email server platform than Exchange
Because the previous moronic Sys Admin, picked exchange? He picked it because all in the office use Windows? Only the developers / artists use Macs?

Now the new Sys Admin is shaking head every day, but keeps it on Exchange?

Anyway, most Mac users most likely POP or IMAP into the Exchange Server: and know nothing about it.

Last ten years I had at least 5 freelance jobs where my contractor offered me a laptop - actually, I was required to take one, but offered me to pick the platform. As I am not braindead enough to pick Windows, I picked Linux - as I have enough own Macs already.

Stop looking at the initial purchase cost. That does not make any sense for a company with more than 3 computers. Macs always win hands down in longevity, and low (no) maintenance cost. And it adds up quickly ... why can this "PC" not run with two external monitors? According to the speccs it, should ... but it does not. And so on ...

Then: plenty of "organizations" have a huge deal of "students" who "work" there. They all get a 30% student discount.

Since May 2024 I have this Windows laptop, running Win 11, since I bought it. There is not a single week where I do not have to fix a problem. My Macs are from 2014 and 2016 ... they never had any problem at all.

As in Sexy, young like 16 or so?

That used to be enough to make a "great movie", see "Transformers" (first movie) ... (what a pile of shit movie, but became a Gassenhauer). I went into the cinema to watch it, assuming "oh, funny new concept of alien robots" - assuming a deep story like Battle Star Galactica.

Turned out it was a movie for 13 to 16 year olds dragging their parents into a cinema.

"Base Load = The minimum power a grid needs at all times, delivered at a steady, constant rate"
Correct. And our parent got it wrong.

So, what is your point?

"Capacity factor = The net capacity factor is the unitless ratio of actual electrical energy output over a given
period of time to the theoretical maximum electrical energy output over that period."
Also correct. And that is not a metric of the power plant, but a result of how I run it.

So: what is your point again?

Are you certain you grasp "base load" and "Capacity factor"?

Yes, society owes me a job.

Because that is my human right.

And in most countries, on the globe, that works just fine.

The right is not violated, it is just not always possible to honour it.

As in: no one can snip a finger to create a job.

However the agencies to help you find a job, work for you. And as long as you have none, they support you with housing and basic income.

I know my union job is definitely better then the exact same job that is not union, though not by a great deal.
That should not be the case if you work in the same company and have the same/similar job.

Well, regarding voting, it is common that a Gremium is preparing some suggestions. And even riggs them to make one side look more attractive.
