That’s a horribly deceiving title. They just stayed remote and made themselves ineligible for promotion.

Business Insider claims it has seen internal Dell tracking data that reveals nearly 50 percent of the workforce opted to accept the consequences of staying remote, undermining Dell’s plan to restore its in-office culture.

In all honesty…my parents. I play family tech support and it’s just easier with Apple. There aren’t a million different variants of hardware and manufacturer tweaks to the OS. If I also have an iPhone I can keep up with all the changes and help troubleshoot any issues (I live ~2000 miles away). If they have any immediate concerns they can visit an Apple Store and a ‘Genius’ can also walk them through whatever. They also have classes.

I keep my phones for 3 years and pass it on to one of my retired parents who keep it for another 3. Then it stops receiving the latest updates as its fallen out of support with Apple. They still work just fine but not receiving the latest major OS releases. My last phone swap lead to my parents passing their old phone on to my brother who couldn’t care less that it’s out of support and just wants a working device.

So those ~$1000 phones are getting some mileage…

The title of the article I linked and its subtext is

“The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime Could Take 3 Weeks to Recharge—Without Plugging In

Or, put another way, you can get more than 1,000 miles of free range in a year.”

It most definitely charges the battery.

I remember looking at the Prius and it had a solar roof option. I remember reading a MotorTrend article about it. They had to make a lot of assumptions like 12 hours of sun everyday no exceptions and just to break even from the cost of the roof option it would take 5+ years. So not really worth it. You’d be better off just paying for the electricity or putting solar on your house and charging with that.

Edit…words missing

If it’s anything like some of the other features they’ve crammed in they will ask that question over and over and over and over again until you choose the answer they want.

I’m desperately waiting for fiber. Still expect it to be 6-12 months out but they’re actively building it. I live ~20 miles from a state capital. Fiber is still very rare even in suburbs of major cities the US.

Before it went into licensing hell it was available on Blu-ray. I own a copy.

Dealerships love to sell cars by monthly payment. Subscriptions fit right into that model. Heated seats are just another $5 a month! So with <huge list of features> that monthly payment is only $330 a month….on a 9 year car loan. People will absolutely do this.

If online play is your jam then there is always https://cncnet.org/ It shows there are 493 people playing Yuri’s Revenge as I type this.

Not all the games are free to play. Some of them require you to copy some files from a paid version. So this sale is still relevant. Check out the FAQ at the url above.

My brother and I started playing Mental Omega instead. It’s a rewrite based off Yuri. It has new units, structures, abilities, and AI/balancing tweaks. http://mentalomega.com/

Unlike RA2 you can no longer just deploy 100 GI’s and mow down everything that comes at them. That never really made sense when a tank rolls by. In Mental Omega the tank will kill them all. Cause they’re just guys with rifles against a heavy armor tank…

I usually search it. This has many good options just scroll down to the powershell section. You can drop the name argument from the delete a specific app command and it will just dump the entire list of apps into the remove command.

Sadly they only removed them from fresh installs not updates. The apps are still available in the store for anyone that wants them as well.

I’d love less crap preinstalled on windows. First thing I do is run a powershell script to basically uninstall all the store apps (even ones you can’t normally uninstall using the add/remove UI). Love to see the Xbox stuff gone. Removing it and having it not throw errors on game launches was a bit of a pain.

It’s just so much junk…
