Everything is funded by customers or taxpayers...sometimes both.

IANAL

It is well known at this point what Broadcom has been up to for the last couple of years with VMware. How is this not some class action lawsuit in multiple countries by now? How is it that no attorney general or some regulatory agency has not investigated and brought Broadcom to court by now?

This. Roku had the best set top streaming device for years. Roku held no allegiance to any platform and provided decent hardware at a decent price. Unfortunately, they started changing things that were not good for their customers. As my Rokus age out I will not be replacing them with Rokus. In the meantime, they get restricted internet access.

3-2-1 rule comes into play. LOL

I'll assume (probably incorrectly) that they $20M was for total sales across all states. Fines aren't enough. The people running these companies need to be held accountable... and that ain't happening.

This. .. did @BeauHD even bother to read the submission?

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

I don't disagree but I will say the screen time in school at least has some kind of learning involved. The screen time outside of school, not so much. Parents also need to parent. Take away the digital babysitters and have your kids go outside and be active or at least read a book if they won't go outside.

...like "Tell me about Tiananmen Square" or "Tell me about Xinjiang".

Is this what you want for the future?

My thoughts back when R1 came out:

I agree but clicking ahead is not that hard.

Most of these companies (probably all) are trying to save money. Offer wages competitive enough and the right people will show up for an in person interview and occasional office visits.

Don't worry they will only use it in colder regions. ;-)

These days the term is Human Capital and corps see just about all capital/assets as depreciating in value over time. It's not just an accounting term. It's an executive viewpoint.

I've installed via Mint Software Manager, then APT, and now a Flathub Flatpack via Software Manager. All with the same results. Next will be a manual download and install. If none of that works then it must be some odd FF config I have gotten myself into.
