Samsung has been doing this for years with phones running snapdragons SOCs. You had to purchase the phones with the lower end Exynos SOCs. I stopped using Samsung years ago for the same reason. I want to run custom roms and buy Google pixel or devices from other vendors with good custom ROM support. Either way, Samsung must already know their typical user sticks with the provided ROM... So there's no impact to the bottom line taking away custom ROMs for the users who are in the minority

I suppose disabilities come in all forms. Physical, intellectual... My guess is that physically disabled people's commute times are longer. So WFH allowed them more comfort and freedom as well as free time not having to commute. If some people also moved further away, a longer commute time would also not be very fun... (Even non disabled employees are unhappy)...

It's an interesting argument, and I wish them luck . But If Amazon's offices are all wheelchair accessible, I don't think disabled employees have a good chance in getting a return to the office exemption.

Unless you sign a lease agreement at the time of, you're buying the item outright.... Ignorance is bliss and information is power.

How anyone is still using google search in 2025 and writing articles self congratulations is impressively unimpressive!

If you self identify as neurodivergent for special accomodations, my guess is that official medical diagnosis if a majority of people are incorrectly self diagnosing.

How is it also close to earth if it's not located in our solar system?

Might as well have personally generated certificates per connection. :)

Unfortunately, Trump has an endless supply of crazy grade 12 educated uncles supporting him... When Trump fails, they are so brainwashed they're already planning on blaming the "globalists" and the "left" for all the fallout.

I switched to Linux mint when windows 10 started doing this. It's the ultimate "workaround" :)

I wouldn't want to get in an accident with a full sized car or suv over 35mph....

Or pivot to management. That's what I did as a successful network engineer. It has been 3yrs, and a lot of growth, training and learning new social skills and techniques to successfully manage highly intelligent people across different generations and from new to multi decades of service. Not to mentioning managing a high visibility and important portfolio for the organization. Even if management isn't for you, people staying in the technical field need to be flexible, and willing to be life long learners and good at information sharing with colleagues.

I just hope they don't put it into production shortly after they finish rewriting it! LOL

Bringing them private and so I can retire. :)

I agree! Assuming the data centers have all the required infrastructure to go live (power, fiber, water, etc...) my hunch is that they will get used. I think a lot of people will be tempted to draw parallels to the Chinese ghost cities, but it might not quite be the same situation.
