That seems a shaky rationale for a stock buyback, especially if it's in a vacuum. Even in a best-case scenario. Unless there's some other factor that's actually going to sustain that (presumably) higher stock price post-buyback, it's going to be a wash at best. Plus the market is usually smart enough to know that a buyback signals that the buying company doesn't have anything better to invest in, so they'll take it as a sell signal if/when the buyback pushes prices higher.

He could have made cheats for some other game. Maybe he could make the same cheats as open source. He could maybe have made some truly horrific malware.

Who knows?

What leveraged effect would actually help the company?

Are you legit AC troll replying to yourself? Or is your stalker just that good at imitating you now? BTW none of this crap is remotely related to Intel (much less their dGPUs which were the subject of this comment chain).

Cardio is good, and walking around is a decent way to achieve that goal if you aren't terribly ambitious. People are living pretty long (in some cases) and need to think about long term muscular and skeletal health. Nothing sadder than seeing people who can't even get up anymore on their own. Or who fall and break hips leading to a rapid decline in health.

A step regimen might keep you off a walker (for awhile), but even body weight training will go a long way to keeping you truly mobile.

So you say. Once everyone leaves, there won't be much said about Tuvalu except for the millionaires and billionaires that buy up what's left of it.

Maybe living on islands out in the middle of the ocean might suck more than people realize? It would be sad and sort of ironic if Tuvalu were to be largely abandoned by its residents, only to be taken over by a resort owner (or similar).

Seems like MS shouldn't have shipped this mess in the first place.

Banks don't like it when you dodge the interest and fees on their credit cards.

In a gold rush, do you mine for gold or do you sell the picks? Take the safe route and sell the picks.

Yeah there was that as well. I was thinking his wartime powers but there was more to his power grabbing.

Trump doesn't even come close. FDR asserted wartime powers far above and beyond anything we've seen since Abraham Lincoln.

If MS sells software and support to government agencies, they should be on the hook if or when their software creates critical vulnerabilities in infrastructure. Especially if they don't have a patch immediately!

Looks like you've already retired mentally.

I thought Kash Patel was the Fbi director?
