As a chronic imgur user from day one, yes imgur will transcode certain formats straight to webp.

"Why the fuck would mileage matter much for the calculations?"

Emitted particulate caused by vehicle degradation over time, more specifically tires, bushings, hoses and wiring, etc.

I drive like a full fucking bat out of hell on some of the hardest mountain desert terrain out there, often with a full load of said mountain both inside and attached to my vehicle (trailer.) I do not go through tires nearly as fast as an EV.

Oh, and most EV drivers do drive like idiots. Bolts, Teslas, i-drives, etc. Almost all of them appear clueless as to even the location of their turn signals.

Bet some of those rankings change

"They don't want to hire you. They want to hire an H1B."

And I'm living this reality right now. 5 years busting my ass off for a company, literally handling the role of both production and quality on the floor, basically right under management in both actual authority and in knowledge of the product, and helped take the company from startup to being attractive enough to get acquired and go corporate. QM retires, I'm expecting to get put in the role. Nope, some guy from India that claims they're ISO-certified (ISO doesn't certify individuals, only businesses and organizations) and knows absolutely nothing about electronics, right down to not being able to identify components on a board, now has the job.

And this person continues to screw up on a daily basis. Rejected/scrapped a bunch of RMA boards - the only thing wrong is a tombstoned resistor or capacitor, literally a two second fix. Each board ranges from $90-250 in value. Several hundred. I can't fix them, now, they're officially scrapped. That's a lot of lost money for our customer and for the company.

This timeline is fucked.

"Microsoft have always maintained a lifecycle list for all it's products, Windows 10 included."

Except Microsoft has itself advertised that Windows 10 was to be the last version of Windows.

Sue the fuck out of them for false advertising.

"I get the impression these kinds of batteries don't scale down well"

Go look at the picture in TFA and note that it is literally 8 individual packs tall and 4 packs wide in a box.

1/8 of this thing could sit in your garage and power your house for a few days flat.

"We quickly mitigated an attempt to exploit a known issue"

If the issue was known why didn't you mitigate it BEFOREHAND so this would not become an issue?

Trillion-dollar company and can't even be bothered to do basic fixes on known problems before rolling something out. What the fuck.

"My boss believes: "if it is not written down, then it is not done""

If you are an ISO 9001 certified establishment, that's literally the belief of the certification body.

"Look at Gmail. Never been mass hacked"

Nah they just allow relay attacks, which is far worse.

"It's a starter wage intended for highschool and college students and others who are getting their first jobs in fast food places and grocery stores etc."

LIAR.

"Geographically and financially advantageous is how one would describe Houston accurately"

I'm a Texan and you're so full of shit your eyes went brown.

Houston has one of the worst geographical advantages - see the Los Angeles style smog.

Also, once you leave Houston there's nothing for fucking miles. Good luck getting Bobby Joe Atkins from Wichita Falls down there.

You fucking moron. Leave the shuttle in DC where it fucking belongs.

Then you could've posted a direct link instead of posting the front page of some shit substack that looks like memes, you stupid fuck.

Go figure a MAGA can't DIRECTLY LINK to information.

Our newer class-D amplifiers are absolutely tiny and throwing insane amounts of power. 220W per channel and 350W for the sub on mine. Needs a 36V 30A power supply to operate.

And yet you post a link with literally two fucking memes as readable content if you don't have an account.

Get fucking real.
