Comment they got me this week (Score 1) 91

by DrunkenTerror (#65281591) Attached to: Windows 11 Poised To Beat 10, Mostly Because It Has To

the support team i'm on got fucked onto win11 this week, despite the fact that the entire company just got acquired on April 1 and we're all getting new laptops by the end of the month, with current laptops going into the trash. it's so stupid and i am so goddamn mad (you can put that in the paper).

like, i was resigned for the new laptops to be running 11, because ofc they would, but for someone somewhere to decide, hey you know what fuck those guys, let em eat it, and force-upgrade out shit with a month to go seems downright malicious to me.

what's really odd is that it appears it was done by the old company, because we're still joined to that domain, not the new company.

Submission + - Trump to impose 25% to 100% tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, impacting TSMC (tomshardware.com)

Submitted by DrunkenTerror
DrunkenTerror writes: Donald Trump announced plans Monday night to impose massive tariffs on Taiwan-made chips in an attempt to incentivize companies to relocate production to the United States. On the one hand, this could reduce American companies' reliance on Taiwan in general and TSMC in particular. On the other hand, building a semiconductor fab takes three to four years, so the effect of production moving to the US due to tariffs may not be felt for some time.

Submission + - Hostile Takeover of Federal Government Underway (dailykos.com) 9

I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM.

I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen.

this is the third Lego "news story" i've seen today: this one, one about Ukraine using Lego bricks or toys in the war, and one about how shoplifters love stealing Lego bricks or toys.

note: i originally include the TM, circle R and circle C marks behind the L word to emphasize the corporosity but ofc /. garbled them all up on preview and i didn't want to look like some asshole posting from an iphone so i removed the marks
