But the West restricts EV imports, so the prices are much higher.

We do the same thing with light trucks, yet they still sell quite well domestically, despite the higher price. ... maybe price isn't the only determining factor?

Time to start visiting the Church of All Worlds!

Tron isn't in Tron 3... clearly the fight was lost.

What does nimbyism have to do with anything here?

The claim would be it's primarily NIMBY folks who prevent more construction and in more places, leading to landlords having more power and ability to make renters jump through such hoops.

If only it was that simple.

They still have assets in the state in question, which means they are very much reachable.

Sounds like misinformation right there, perhaps a ban is in order?

Oh wait... I wasn't advocating for bans nor pushing definitons.

Removing misinformation is not illegal either. It's common sense.

Who decides it's misinformation?

Quite a few times things which were deemed misinformation back during the COVID times turned out to be different than official sources said (at first or later).

When such heavy hands occur, especially when the government is pushing it, it makes the act seem extra suspicious, or so I've heard for the last week along cries of fascism.

Which is why I took advantage of the pandemic to GTFO of the Seattle area and are now in a much better place, the issue is always that not all companies are open to remote work, and those who are have states they can/can't hire in.

Remote work has not continued the way many had hoped. Too many companies, Microsoft included have largely decreed that if you want to keep your job, you're going to have to live/work in one of their hubs, or be very lucky. As a result, not only are many stuck there, but many medium and small companies have done the same. Yes, remote jobs exist, they are just few and far between and much harder to get than even a couple of years ago.

And fund schools enough

Enough⦠according to who?

Given weâ(TM)ve been throwing more and more money at (public) education for decades and decades and havenâ(TM)t seen the kinds of results desired or promised⦠maybe itâ(TM)s not simply a money issue?

Unfortunately not, as it'd be easy to replicate. Right now I'm just using what I've built to prove I'm very real when talking with recruiters.

Or a second set of panels and an extension cord connecting them... that'd *only* be about 3,392 miles long... which come to think of it, isn't totally crazy as SEA-ME-WE_3 is 24,000 miles long.

EDR is sometimes all you have to know something happened. Waiting for DLP to note a loss can be too late if there is behavior which isn't currently being flagged as suspect. I've seen cases where employees attempted to establish a new baseline of behavior which EDR caught before they got around to leaking things and were told by management how they should be doing backups of their work machine and to stop the ways they were trying. If it happens again, then you have stronger reason to think they are up to no good and need stronger re-training or axing.

Macs have indeed changed, it was certainly doable on Intel units, though some options could be turned off from afar to make it harder. With Apple Silicon + FileVault + disabled external boot, it's pretty much impossible unless you've an insider who knows the needed keys, which should be safeguarded well away from easy single person access.

Eventually your device will go back online and whatever EDR or DLP your company has installed will send the offline logs to a server, same logs which are generated when online. How big do you think the ring buffer is for those logs?

You might have gotten away with it in past, it suggests your employer was utterly incompetent if they didn't notice activity like this.
