And a funeral wreath. And, apparently, a plan to send Polynesian gangsters (one imagines that this might consist of Dwayne Johnson showing up at their house singing "What can I say, except, Ex-tor-tion!") though it thankfully appears that did not come to fruition.

They are. The summary states that seven former employees pled guilty to criminal charges. I know it's tradition not to RTFA, but you are supposed to at least RTFS.

Almost certainly true. At the cost of double the individual median income, per annum, which is about the same as housing someone on death row. To lock someone in a box for 23 hours a day, which is almost certainly "cruel and unusual punishment" in and of itself.

Definitely NOT the solution.

Meh. The Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle is worth it year round. Disney content for my kids, Hulu content for my wife, sports for me. Can't tell you a day in the last five years it hasn't been running on one or more devices in my house.

Has Telemundo content, so you got every World Cup match if you were willing to watch in Spanish rather than having to spend $20/month for Fox to watch them otherwise. You also get a decent amount of global soccer games, most notably EPL. Peacock can almost always be found with a bargain basement price so it's actually a good deal if you like soccer. The Law & Order reruns are just gravy.

I'd love to know how low the population density is when it's not cost effective to pull fiber where there is already pre-existing infrastructure. The power cooperative in my mostly rural county in east Tennessee started a fiber buildout just before Covid hit. The original idea was a three phase plan starting in the highest density (i.e. most profitable) areas first, using that revenue to finance less dense (i.e. less profitable) areas, then taking that revenue to finance the least dense (unprofitable) areas. The original project timeline from break ground to break even was something like 15 years.

Covid changed things, the state had some additional money for grants and there was a huge need from the school system for more bandwidth as they were providing wifi to the parking lots so students/county residents had better connectivity during the pandemic. The entire project scope was substantially completed around 2023. You now can get 10gbe anywhere in the electrical service area for less than $100/mo for residential customers.

Obviously, there are benefits when the infrastructure is owned by a cooperative where the membership has a real voice in what happens, but it doesn't have to be for this to be economically feasible.

Lenovo was never an "IBM brand." IBM sold them their client computing assets in 2005, and their x86 server assets in 2014, but Lenovo has never been a part of IBM.

I'm sure the shareholders will be lining up in droves to accept your offer of 1/25000 of a cent per share.

Nothing nefarious here, no potential for abuse, move along, move along.

From TFS, this is serving commercial flights rather than general aviation.

I'm aware, but unless they're piping the input to /dev/null (which they of course are not) the data is almost certainly going to a "centralized purchase record database" which the grandparent has blithely assured us is not happening.

If that's true, why are they typing my driver's license number into the cash register?

I notice you have dropped your other argument without acknowledging it.

And no, I do not have reading comprehension problems. "I made a mistake" puts the blame on you. "[something] made me make a mistake" puts the blame on [something].

Given that English is not your first language (my presumption being based on a reference to German news sources in 1986) I think it's fair to say that this is an understandable error. English is a fucked up amalgamation often jokingly referred to as "three other languages in a trench coat" so a simple grammatical error like this is easily explained by the language barrier. I have a bunch of German colleagues that all have some word and grammatical choices when speaking English (saying things like "unpossible" rather than "impossible," for example) that probably make perfect sense as a direct translation and I would think this falls into that category, wouldn't you say?
