But probably not all that great for long hauling. Though I believe there is an easy solution. A small second trailer shaped like a cone for aerodynamics that is full of battery and is connected by cable to the semi. Then for long hauling you simply stop off at a depot and drop off the batter trailer and hook up a charged one.

This is the first step toward adjustable prices. Weather is hot, all cold beverages are 25 cents more. Snowstorm en route, snow shovels are now $40.00 instead of $25.00. It is price on demand.

Because our executives are too dumb to come up with a new idea for you to work on.

Executives should be prevented from receiving bonuses any year in which there are mass layoffs.

Then they leave only violence as a recourse. There needs to be a legal recourse. Otherwise, those who suffer the consequences (e.g. black lung, asbestos, who knows what from the thousands of pesticides, etc). Then victims with no legal recourse will be left to resort to illegal recourse and violence.

The Western Digital color branding was nice. This gets rid of the simple color performance labeling.

Diseases and dead people, for one. Belonging to a different tribe/culture/race (it's actually one of the reasons for ritual scars, later tattoos and haircuts, specific clothing, uniforms and so on).

Exactly. Home Assistant makes it easy to unify several brands under the same hood.

I can't get screwed even if I wanted to, since this new contraption is only available for MacOS.

...This is the first time ever that I heard of this "Wrapped" thing.
Isn't Spotify a platform for listening to music that you like?

I am still fond of the A430.

Everything you said is bullshit. Windows deserves all the flak for all the right reasons. This is simply not one of them.

Apologies, I should have mentioned that the situation I mentioned was about in-house employees.

As someone who worked for years in support (a long time ago), it's a classic case of "intersection of sets".
On one hand, you have the set of people who actually know the products. On the other, you have the set of people willing to work in support, manning phones.
The first set is more or less inelastic. The second set can be increased somewhat by offering high salaries, but that's limited because if you increase them enough, you would reduce other sets (e.g. people who know the product but work in other areas related to the product). For example, if the helpdesk agent salary reaches or exceeds the backend support salary (that is, the engineer who is on-call), the latter would move to the former, and then you'd have a lack of engineers who know how to fix the product when it goes kaboom for some reason.

Which means it's all a complicated dance.

I worked in direct support (taking phones) back in early 2000s, and did it for a limited time, because it was an entry job and the good ones (with enough willingness and brains to move up, which wasn't a high bar) were quickly snatched to fill other positions. I remained linked to support departments, but I was no longer taking direct calls. At any rate, the struggle to hire even remotely competent agents was real. Scraping the bottom of the barrel was continuous, and the attrition was enormous, sometimes exceeding 200% per year.

There's the answer to your question.

Yet.

Right.
Some people love rubbing elbows with others, some don't. Let those who do go do it, and let those who don't skip it.

It is just that simple.
