There are dozens of visas. If one is effectively ended, they will use another. The L-1 can be used in many cases.

The L-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa for tech workers who are transferring from a foreign, affiliated office to a U.S. office of the same company.

So some guy is hired by an Indian staffing firm over in India, the transferred over to the US where he is contracted to work at Microsoft by the same staffing firm. I think MS partners with, at least, one of these firms.

That is just one loophole, there are many others.

If Trump was serious, he would charge a 20% additional fee on the salaries of all visa workers.

It's a, commonly used, negotiating tactic.

Windows 11 is bloated crap. But, the desktop apps are better than just about anything you will find on Linux or the BSDs.

They tested cookies made with butter vs cookies made with margarine, to see if children could tell the difference. Children could tell the difference, and preferred margarine. They believe the reason is: children are used to margarine, so butter tastes odd.

My guess is: if people are not used to drip coffee, it's not going to taste right.

The fuels are not made from fossils. How about carbon fuels?

Gillette became wealthy with safety razors well before WWII. The idea was to make something disposable so people would keep buying.
I think the same was true with ballpoint pens.

Here in CO, I can fill up my gas burner with just a credit card, or even cash. Even at a gas station that I have never visited before. Any gas station will do, I don't need to find a station that uses some special nozzle, or only accepts certain apps.

But to charge my EV at a charging station, I need to download apps, and join a network, and maybe jump through other hoops. It can take a half hour before I can even get started. And not many charging stations accept my CHAdeMO standard, so I need another special app to find those. My phone better be well charged.

Works just fine. Never had a minute's problem with it. Here is a video reviewing it:

No it isn't. I use it. If it won't run Windows 11, just put mxlinux on it.

Or did I misunderstand the article?

About two years back I bought a new laptop at Micro-Center for $60. Unlike a raspberry pi, the laptop came with: power supply, battery, screen, keyboard, pointer device, case, memory, storage, and OS (Windows 10) installed.

If you don't mind used, you can probably find a desktop, or laptop, on craigslist for nothing, or next to nothing.

I think there are about 27 visas. Maybe some of the other visas are less appropriate for tech workers, but they will use them anyway.

Transitions may be okay in Impress. What about voice-overs or animations? Can you get an object to follow a path in Impress? You could do that in PP about 30 years ago.

Trump will not be allowed to impose such a fee. Even if he did, there are 27 other visas.

It seems to be about 20 years behind PowerPoint.
