It's not easy being green

Whose values? Asking for a friend.

Discovery+ was always the outlier in the streaming market. It was never an especially popular service in terms of subscribers, but its content costs were low, and its subscribers fairly loyal (lower churn than some other services). In the various merger discussions, it was never even mentioned as whether or how it would be integrated into the eventual streaming combination.

AC posts start at score 0. The score may increase, or decrease, based on those voting with mod points, but AFAIT, if the net result is zero, the score still shows as zero, so it is not at all clear if that post was downvoted, or just any potential upvotes and downvotes cancelled themselves out.

It is (as it has always been) some people who will try to manipulate the scores to increase engagements. If there was any actual accountability in this forum, all the voters would be publicly visible, so that those that decided that [some user] was biased could choose that their votes be excluded from their view of a score, but that might impact page views (and profit), and we (well, the site admins) would not want that.

Don't forget that Intel's foundry business is starting to build chips for many of these companies (and they did announce Microsoft was a customer for an unnamed chip a number of months ago, along with AWS being mentioned as using the Intel foundry for some of their AI chips). There is no disagreement that TSMC is the 100,000kg gorilla in the foundry business (something like 75% of the market).

But rounded corners! And Apple has a design patent on rounded corners.

For those that want / need a full time matter or homekit hub (and don't want / have one of the other Apple devices that can perform those roles)?

It sounds like the Russian military commanders did not fully consider how the Ukrainians might respond, or they did, and their conclusions were ignored.

Of course what is ignored by many is that CA/B Forum has codified the changes to reduced lifetimes (49 days by 2029). Letsencrypt is just preparing for the hard limits sooner than some others (but the others should be there soon now).

Canonical had a previous DDOS attack. Apparently they chose not to engage one of the various DDOS prevention services (Cloudflare is well known, but they are not the only solution provider in this space). "Fool me once, shame on you. Shame we twice, shame on me." So, shame on Canonical.

GnuPGs divergence from (rejection of) the IETF standards means you have to choose a side (agree with the standards, or go this other way). I wish GnuPG had chosen to follow the standards, in which case, let the best implementation win, but now that only one implementation follows the standard, there is no real choice.

And Computer Associates (now owned by Broadcom), demonstrated the way decades before Broadcom even existed.

For some customers, they looked at the resources needed to migrate, and decided it was cheaper to stay put and/or invest the resources that would be needed elsewhere in their business.

I doubt Broadcom is going to get many new customers, but Broadcom seems to be OK with that.

A trail failing is actually a success. Let's see if the politicians and the police learn the actual lesson from the failure (I am not personally going to hold my breath for the learning).

A negotiated settlement was always the most likely outcome (they usually are in such suits). Neither side is likely to be entirely pleased with the result (it is a compromise, not a one sided win). And while pundits will argue for years as to whether the industry is better or worse for the merger, what-if's are just conjecture.
