Something will get delivered and I will be curious on reviews.

Of course, if the review is bad, then it is a fake news review.

I like Firefox. I'll be curious what breaks because of the bug fixes.

My son was about one year from his undergrad in C.S. A very reputable school. His grades nearly all A's.

Available internships - nearly zero.

Maybe that is related?

He shifted to engineering, where the opportunities are ... at least for now.

I doubt he reads slashdot, but if he does. I just want to say thanks. The number of times I've used it to report, simplify a process, or just fix something significant. For me, way easier than the old bat/cmd scripts we used to write. Even writing small scripts for select advanced users was amazingly easy and helpful, again saving us a lot of time.

Thank You Mr. Snover

Toyota Camry, RAV4, Highlander - you get the choice of Hybrid (as default) or a turbo charged engine that'll blow up sooner. The rest are catching up with Toyota on hybrids. I'm on my second Hybrid, a Ford Maverick this time. Love it and love the mileage and no turbo.

Why didn't I go electric, well my last car I ended up selling to one of my kids cheap as they needed a car quick. Having that experience, my kids are in apartments, I figured I might be doing the same in a few years for another child, that kept me away from an EV this time.

In the U.S. - Infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure is badly needed for people not in houses and not infrastructure that is 35c per kilowatt more than household pricing.

If you've bought an ICE or electric vehicle from any major manufacturer made in the U.S. in the last 7 years, you'll discover it has a kill switch already.

Every firm I've worked at has Excel on the issued machine and yes we use it constantly. Nope, I'm not an accountant. Just my opinion, but it is still the best of class when it comes to spreadsheet applications and probably why O365 is doing so well.

This explains why so many articles on a celebrity or general subject contain so much slop instead of getting to the point. I generally pick up the pattern after the first paragraph and ditch the article.

#Agreed

Employers are looking to reduce staff due to reduced economic activity in the U.S. Further, the anticipation that AI will displace a lot of employee positions based on the hype. So they are cutting positions now, but would rather not pay severance. So, make life less pleasant for the employee.
- C-Suite is enjoying large bonuses as the stock market hits new highs. They are getting credit for the work, even if it is a bubble.
- Fewer junior positions needed so less opportunity for the younger out of college.
- Some employees did abuse work from home, so now we all get called in (thanks).
- With new butt in the seat rules, flexibility from the immediate manager is hampered, as the new in office requirements are often very rigid. So, long hours over a weekend do not translate to flexible time off.

all of this adds up to a new less enjoyable norm for the worker bee

Thanks for sharing the link. A very interesting article.

Exactly!!! The manufacturer should provide it. What's not to say I might use a defective charger. Will they honor the warranty?

Bring back Asperger's and split that out from Autism. The realm for autism is way to wide and leads to RFK behaviorial syndrome.

Next recognize that people are different and shouldn't be expected to be the same.
