Also realize that the hardware constraints are fictional. I have installed 24H2 Enterprise LTSC on several computers that shouldn't allow it on my workplace.

I'd consider to avoid C/C++ for anything but the most time critical functionalities.

We live in the Max Headroom world.

The offices in other places will also be a lot cheaper.

Even if you have logs you need to have someone able to process and interpret them.

I'm just waiting for the day someone successfully makes an intrusion and then locks out everyone using Entra / Microsoft Accounts from their computers. If you can't log in anymore and you have bitlocker enabled on your hard drive then you'd lose everything.

Buy they can make an 11-inch ipad and sell it for $350. Are you really suggesting that they can't put that into a clamshell form factor for $600?

I live in semi-rural eastern Tennessee and our schools have 1:1 laptop policies with district provided and managed equipment. What school district out there is requiring parents to buy devices like that in this day and age?

I mean, Thunderbolt in phones isn't a thing, but the rest? iPhone 17's SSD is 256GB which is the same size as our standard corporate laptops (and without the 100GB of Windows bloat) so claiming "SSD is too small" is an odd claim to make. If you're docked to external peripherals, "screen too small, shitty on screen keyboard" is similarly a strange complaint. "Wrong OS" is only applicable if you have some specific application stack you need to run. If it's just "I sent email and push spreadsheets around" then ios and android are totally fine.

There is a very large swath of office type workers who "dock your phone" would work fine for.

I'd say that this is the first step of a takeover of Intel properties by Nvidia.

And that goes double if your child has problems like this child did. It is the parent's job to accommodate such problems. The world can't be dumbed down to protect the most disabled member, child or otherwise, of society.

Although, I suspect it is not the case that the "kid would have been fine" in the long term no matter what the mother did as he's quite likely severely disabled and would have needed a conservator for life - i.e., option 2 - eventually.

The cheese sandwich was the best part of Frye. I've literally had that same sandwich many times, and while it looks sad and basic, if you are in a position where someone is giving that to you where you didn't specifically order it, let me tell you its special and it hits like nothing else on this earth.

I'd like to know if chimps suffer from similar health issues as humans... Do they get diabetes from the high sugar consumption? Do they get hardening of arteries and liver failure from alcohol consumption?
