This country has never liked protestors, but constantly claims it's the only way to secure change peacefully... At least they didn't get shot. Kent State should've launched new, extensive, and inaliénable rights for all protestors. It's a shame it did not.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but yes. I'm saying they have a pair of brass ones but only swing them when it suits their brand image. Jon Stuart, as you've surmised, didn't get the protection in my opinion because he threatened their brand image with his piece on China.
Could be the first unfounded customer complaint. I keep a printout of particularly "special" user tickets in my office. Some of the stuff end users and customers expect, or say, is absolutely insane and worthy of display.
Apple picks their battles specifically with brand identity in mind, which has its ups and downs, but they do have some brass ones and you have to admit it. Let's not all forget the FBI notice they posted on the main page of Apple.com with a letter explaining why they were not going to be developing a backdoor in iOS and wouldn't be gagged. In fact, I just checked, and they're still hosting it. https://www.apple.com/customer-letter/
I just wish 2024 went different. It's weird being converted into what is essentially a Russia level fascist state in less than a year. Dump constantly speaks about being the president that's done more than any in the last 100 years, and I don't see why people aren't believing him. We're not getting out of this hole in our lifetime. It's over. The highest office has legitimized double think, propaganda, lying, criminal rape, etc. We're cooked as far as bringing respect or honor to government goes.
Honestly, I got banned from that instance after down voting several posts I disagreed with, which is what down vote is there for, and dude told me to fuck off in the notice like I was running a script or something. I don't personally care, but I also have zero sympathy for someone on the internet being that sensitive or heavy handed. Probably didn't deserve whatever toxic nonsense they'd been exposed to, but still, based on my interactions with em, good riddance.
Tape drives will be expensive and likely beyond overkill for this. I'd recommend you grab a blue ray DVD writer and use that instead. The discs are generally shelf stable for 25 years and hold about 50-128GB depending on the disc. Duplicates are cheap, storage is relatively easy, and it doesn't require constant upkeep/power like a hard drive would. Downsides? They just stopped making the discs, so they'll grow in cost over time. That's about it that I can think of.
You're also going to have higher costs from a company offering something open and free, because they're not hiding costs from you. Proprietary hardware vendors consistently use methods to hide cost from consumers. Oem licensing deals, update costs, making up the money on the repair side. List goes on. End result? In this "free" market, a proprietary company will always be able to offer a lower selling price.
It does inherently mean more expensive when it comes to hardware and technology, the specific thing we're talking about?... Feel free to do research if you'd like. System76 is very open with this information, as is the open source hardware community in general.
System76 uses core boot and open source components for as much of the system as possible, you're inherently going to pay more for this. It's not what is being offered to you by another seller under the name "laptop" which you or the community writing your software has to reverse engineer, and in the category of products that it lives within it could most certainly be considered affordable, especially if you take into account the longer useful lifespan afforded to you by repairable open-sourced components.
People are a bad judge of their own skill and overrely on tools and assistants when present. See also: car adas systems making drivers less skillful. More news at 11.
Ban might be a bit much, but we're using tariffs and taxes as a confrontational trade war measure. Might as well use them in return and funnel the proceeds into homegrown solutions that can compete legitimately.
