Why wouldn't you just turn OneDrive off? I mean, I get it, stubborn master of your computer stuff, but honestly, you're just making shit difficult for yourself. Just turn it off.

"Usually to my desktop."

Oh my.

It's adorable you seem to think the experience of home/prosumer users is that of enterprise deployments/users.

I would argue that cruelty is the point.

Somebody needs a brain transplant.

(It's you, by the way. One from a pig - or really any animal - would be an improvement.)

I was using the term "dialer" to refer to a native application that responds to a challenge issued by a network access control server on a LAN or WLAN. When the user connects to the ISP through a LAN or WLAN, the user's machine is initially quarantined behind a captive portal offering only downloads of the dialer for Windows and macOS. The dialer then assesses the device, ostensibly to ensure that an antivirus approved by the ISP is running, and relays this information to a server that grants access to the network. Users of iOS or Android can download the ISP's dialer through cellular data.

If "dialer" is inappropriate for the client side of a network access control protocol, what term is appropriate?

See also "Trusted Network Connect" on Wikipedia.

Unless the cable and fiber ISPs for your area require a dialer application that is exclusive to macOS, iOS, genuine Windows, and certified Android.

If I had to make an objective measure of whether a district looks prone to gerrymandering, I'd start by applying measures of eccentricity to the border of each district of a state and taking the geometric mean. Some of these measures are ratios of the area of some shape related to but larger and rounder than the border to the interior area of the district. This could be the district's convex hull (convex = 1.0), the quarter perimeter squared (square = 1.0), or the area of a circumscribed circle (circle = 1.0).

Then I'd see how the mean for each state correlates with the actual measure of gerrymandering, which is difference between the two major parties' seats-to-votes ratio in the state's legislature. I'm aware of the Goodhart-Campbell law stating that measures like this tend to become gamed as optimization targets, thereby losing much of their value as measures.

Doesn't seem to have helped you one lick.

As I understand it, Republican leaders want individual income tax compliance to feel like a burden to build support among the electorate for repealing it. I've gathered over the past decade that they want to replace the income tax with import tariffs and something like FairTax, which is a national sales tax combined with a universal basic income equal to the sales tax on a federal poverty level's worth of purchases.

that's what business does

This statement is straight up false with even a surface knowledge of the history of console (read: fixed embedded systems) hardware pricing.

It's also just false in a whole host of other ways. Does believing in such laughably simple absolutes help your head not hurt?

Sigh. That's not at all what they said. If there was any nefarious "agenda" at play "they" (whoever the fuck "they" are in the minds of climate change conspiracists) wouldn't even be publishing data like this since smoothed brain folk like you will take the shallowest of positions on the observation to refute the underlying science.

I'll reduce the problem to something falsifiable. You might prove presence or lack of neo-Nazis in EV industry leadership like this:

1. List all electric vehicle makers registered to trade in the US market.
2. List their top leaders, particularly the chief executive, operating, and financial officers.
3. Find political parties with a strongly socially conservative national-populist platform, such as Alternative for Germany (AfD, Germany), the National Rally (RN, France), and the Republican Party (GOP, United States). These parties tend to draw credible comparisons to the NSDAP. Add extra points for parties promoting natalism or eugenics.
4. Look for news articles in which a top leader of an EV maker has publicly supported one of these Nazi-aligned parties.

This procedure would identify Tesla head Elon Musk, who has spoken before AfD.

Even if a publicly traded company's headquarters is outside the United States, the company can still be at least partly American-owned. Japanese-headquartered automakers Toyota (TM) and Honda (HMC) and Dutch automaker Stellantis (STLA) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Some other Japanese companies, such as automaker Nissan (NSANY) and video game publisher Nintendo (NTDOY), instead trade on the OTC market in the United States. Their symbols end in "Y" which I think stands for an American depositary receipt of a Japanese company.

Or at least that was the case until Daimler and then Fiat bought Chrysler.
