... through this huge pile of dollar bills.

No, I suspect it's got more to do with short-term profits and his overall compensation, given he probably wouldn't still be the CEO by the time any new factories were brought online.

Corporate boards typically only reward short-term thinking.

It can't, because I already switched over to Jellyfin a couple years ago! /rimshot

I'm honestly surprised that the CISA spokeswoman didn't include a non-sequitir like "we are re-building a world class workforce after the DEI-driven destruction caused by Biden's administration" nor a statement praising Donald Trump. Typically at least one of the two is included in any deflection offered by the current administraiton.

(In Gilbert Gottfried's voice:) "It looks like you're building a container!"

... until morale improves!

According to the NYT, employees have been asked to work remotely that day and emails about the layoffs would be sent at 4 a.m. local time.

This seems incredibly sociopathic. It's basically "don't let the door hit you on the way out, because I DON'T WANT YOUR ASS PRINTS ON MY DOOR!"

Azure Linux also comes with a command-line helper - ClippyAI! Leveraging the power of CoPilot, ClippyAI will help streamline your daily tasks... such as recognizing when you are writing a letter.

They're having a horrible time right now keeping tabs on Kash Patel, who goes on random road trips without notice and is often too drunk to answer the phone.

I wonder when it's gonna start making more sense to start opting for land routes for new cables, when possible. The bad actors can still try to attack them, of course, but they'll be easier to monitor and repair. When conflict erupts, you could probably protect a land cable reasonably well with drones.

The author likely wasn't even alive in 1993.

Actually, this script supports profiles - one of which seems like a good fit for desktop Linux. From TFA:

Profile descriptions (from --help):

    minimal Core filesystems + essential kernel modules only
    conservative Minimal + common server/VM drivers (default)
    desktop Conservative + WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, video drivers

conservative is the right choice for virtualised or bare-metal server Linux. desktop is for laptops and workstations where WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, and video drivers must be preserved. minimal is for environments where you have full control over which drivers are loaded and want the smallest possible baseline.

The script lets you supply your own whitelist, and it also offers some generic profiles that try to cover use cases like "Linux desktop". Since it generates its own separate blacklist file (/etc/modprobe.d/modulejail-blacklist.conf), it's simple enough to roll back if necessary (or you could even automate it so that file is removed on shutdown or on boot, I suppose).

Basically it seems like an easily reverted, low risk approach. I think I'll be looking into this further, for our student lab machines - during the quarter, I can't just reboot the machines whenever I want.

>"The Resin Identification Code(RIC) mark was deliberately chosen to look like the recycling symbol without actually being the recycling symbol. That's clearly a problem with the mark."

Is it? The only reason to need to know the type of plastic is for recycling. And plastic can be recycled. Putting the number inside the symbol makes perfect sense to me.

Tires have a speed class rating number on them. That indicates the max safe speed for that type of tire composition before it will fail. It doesn't mean it WILL be driven that fast, or that it SHOULD be driven that fast, or that there is anywhere it can be driven that fast in your area, or that it is otherwise a safe speed to drive.

Do you get equally upset when someone talks about a chroot jail on Linux? /j
