Again, still not relevant to the corrections I pointed out. It also doesn't have anything to do with the headline. Also, if you cared so much about whether there was an updated EULA you would have looked it up. Since you didn't provide it as a fact, I can only assume it doesn't and this is an argument without merit.

No idea, but also not relevant to the clarification I provided. Not to be confused with irrelevant. It's just not relevant here.

So... to keep using the product you already have, all you have to do is update to something totally different?
No. You just have to update Office 2021. You do know what an update is, yes?

I agree that the update would likely be minimal to cover the cert. As for the need, this is only a problem with the Apple ecosystem. Someone else said it's a requirement from Apple. I don't know if that is true, but would make sense.

This is only for accuracy's sake. You're more than free to have opinions on Microsoft's decision. I'm just clarifying the clearly erroneous aspects of the summary.
While Office 2021 is affected by the expiring license, it's still under support until Oct 2026 and users just need to update. It only reverts to read-only if you don't update.
The issue is specific to the licensing server cert. The problem cannot be fixed without an update. They aren't actively breaking functionality. They just decided to not provide an update for Office 2019 because it's end of life.

The key here is that it says processor package and not processor. The SOC and the RAM are combined into one package, with the RAM mounted right next to the SOC on the package.

Based on the actual wording, it sounds like they're talking about games offered on a subscription service.. like Xbox Game Pass. It would still be possible for them to put every game behind its gaming service, or at least on the publishers service, but the fragmentation could cause more harm for the devs/pubs.

It does sound like if the Publisher has a subscription plan for the game, then this bill does not apply to them.
The wording of the bill sounds like they're actually talking about games that are on a subscription based services, like Xbox Game Pass.
Any subscription-based service that advertises or offers for sale access to any digital game solely for the duration of the subscription.

Your point and their point are not necessarily contradictory. Your opinions about FSD might differ, but both points are valid. FSD is better overall vs human only, at around 1.5-2X, but only if you factor in that humans are supposed to be alert at the wheel. If you were to lose the human backup to FSD, the numbers would diminish. FSD also breeds complacency, so reliance upon it generally means less human oversight. The numbers for FSD are still good, but it's definitely not without issues. FSD fails in spectacular ways that a human wouldn't. Ways that could potentially be considered negligent.

I think you're off by a factor of 10. My math says around 650,000 cubic meters.
The campus is 615 acres, or ~2.5 square kilometers. The article states there are plans for up to 16 buildings, but doesn't exactly go into sizes. While not a reasonable estimate, if we assumed 100% concrete coverage at an average thickness it would end up in the ballpark of 650,000 cubic meters. Obviously, they're not going to be 100% covered in concrete. However, we also know they didn't use all the water on concrete.

I did read the entire sentence. I also carved out that exception in my reply to them. Maybe you need to do a better job of reading?
And it's an accurate Or to be more specific: In a normal for-profit corporation, especially under Delaware-style corporate law, directors, and officers generally have fiduciary duties to the corporation and its shareholders. That means they are supposed to act loyally, carefully, and in good faith for the corporation’s benefit, which usually means long-term shareholder value..
They were saying those duties don't exist. So, are you siding me me... or them? Because, from that, it looks like you're siding with me.

Ok, so maybe the issue here is one of comprehension on your part. Because, you originally said no duties exist. Now you're saying some duties exist, sometimes. Which is it? Because, I very much understand that case law is not universal. That is why I called that out in the first place.

That may be, but I was only pointing out how they were wrong to say there was no legal duty.
