Not illegal, as in you've actually gone through this with a lawyer, or not illegal, as in your company does it anyway?

Because Federally, being salaried does not work like you describe: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/17g-overtime-salary

Working less hours in a day is not valid reason to deduct pay. Working less full days is. (From the source above)

State law does not trump federal law, unless explicitly called out. It's just that federal law is actually pretty lax regarding most things and states are more restrictive.

Or they do it anyway and hope they just won't get caught.

And even if they do get caught, the likely punishment is just paying out the wages they owe, so why not chance it? Fines don't scale based on revenue, profit, or even damages, if there even are fines.

Microsoft is watching for you, don't worry

Lmao

Windows doesn't sell enterprise shit to normal people

This is why you gotta totally avoid sites like this one https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

You cannot be salaried and deducted hours you don't work.

Either you are hourly, and paid for the hours you actually work, or you're salaried, and paid regardless of how many hours you work.

What your employer is doing is illegal, and wage theft.

Personally I just use plain old FM radio in my car

Great if you only want to listen to music half the time.

HDDs don’t require power to maintain their state. So that’s an advantage they’ll always have over SSDs

SSDs are not flash memory.

They're not search engine indexable though.

You can't view it without logging in.

If they’re so harmless, then why do you care if a very small portion of the electorate votes for them? After all it won’t make a dent, right? :)

I didn't claim that anywhere.

To me it looks like you have a dysfunctional system.

The US does, so the looks are correct.

Because people are clearly unhappy with the democratic party, so there’s obviously a market for it.

There isn't though. No third party has ever won the presidency.

In Congress, there has never been even 1% of them being third party. Same with the senate.

Where exactly is the market, and why is it not at all reflected in any part of the elected government?

Is it perhaps because it doesn't exist?

It's a package deal, really.

I think it was less overt racism, but still pretty racist.

But mostly because Classism and Racism were pretty intertwined back in the day, what with non-white people essentially being entirely disallowed from actually being a higher class.

If I wanted good hardware I'd build a PC. Which I did.

If I wanted good games, I'd build a PC, buy a switch, and sail the seas for anything those can't run natively that I actually want to play. Which I did.

Does it get contaminated with something like the cooling water of a nuclear power plant?

This doesn't happen unless the reactor was sabotaged. Cooling water that interacts with the core is always a closed-loop system. For exactly this reason.

You should read what the electoral college does, because that's not what it does.

There are no downvotes, so I'm not sure what point you think you're making.

Ben Garrison is a right-wing idiot. He doesn't know jack about much of anything.

Maybe they are, but it's not "absolutely zero" like you said.

DLC is literally just DownLoadeable Content

So like... I don't get the hate for a specific method of providing content. Like, there's obviously a difference between Factorio's Space Age, and what The Sims does, even though they are both DLC.

True, but giving money for free isn’t a proper way of fighting with poverty.

It literally is. Study after study proves just giving people money with no strings attached gives massive benefits for essentially no net cost.

The fact that you don't know this proves you either ignore this, or don't search anything to confirm you're correct.
