How is that different from the Office 365 installation I have at work? Other than the fact that it can actually operate entirely offline for a significant time, unlike what the article describes?

Or did you redefine O365 to only mean the web version?

The last minute to implement a change is on Thursday. No changes on Friday, for the same reason there are no changes on Saturday.

So it should be on Thursday at 4:59.

He absolutely does not have the authority, nor is there anyone at the federal level to do so.

But it doesn't mean he won't try anyway, or that anyone would stop him.

(The rare occasions of a state possibly splitting have come from within the state itself)

Betteridge says no.

laws have to apply to people I dislike as much as they apply to people I like.

Is that the case today?

I like the plan, but I would caution relying on obscurity as protection. This is the 8th largest Lemmy instance (by active users, per Fediverse Observer), and people have been much more petty before.

I appreciate that people are correctly labeling it as a threat. Far too many have used overly soft language to downplay what's going on.

It's true for all brands, but especially true for Lenovo - the enterprise machines are nothing like the consumer-grade crap.

A lot of people will incorrectly shorten it, and even pass it on with the error. But the advice isn't to get a Lenovo; it's to get a Thinkpad. Do not get an IdeaPad, or whatever other names they use for the cheap crap. Get a Thinkpad.

It's a similar story with HP's Omen vs Elitebook and Dell's Inspiron/Vostro vs Latitude. The enterprise line is very different in every way.

This report draws no distinction between them, as evidenced in the one section that lists models.

As for repairability, I've always found it easy to find the HMM for Thinkpads. My experience is limited, but they've also been relatively easy to disassemble and reassemble.

Thank you- this is exactly the sort of critique I had been expecting/hoping to find

I agree with you, and would go further.

A while back, there was a study (IIRC) from the UK that recommended against gender transitioning for children. No surprise, it created quite an uproar before it was retracted.

At no point in any of the media coverage or comments on Lemmy, etc, did I see any discussion of the study itself. To this day, I have no idea if there was an issue with the methodology. It seems that no one, neither supporters nor opponents, bothered to read past the headline. Many of them were very fervent in their beliefs, but that wasn't enough to get them to look at the details.

This is also very bad for science - there are countless headline-grabbing "studies" that fail basic requirements. I'm sure you've seen things like "Is coffee/chocolate/etc good for you? A new 10-day study of 23 people suggests that...". Which of course should get picked apart.

If we aren't following the science, then what are we even trying to do?

(As an aside, I suspect that study was flawed, but I can't confirm. It goes against the conclusions widely agreed upon, and would require significant rigor and evidence to support the claim)

This is exactly why, for many years, there was no percentage on the label. They were concerned that people would try to get it to 100%.

Fast forward a few decades, and it's extremely rare to find Americans consuming that little sugar, so the concern was no longer valid.

While I appreciate that rule in many communities, there's nothing stopping them from posting a summary or even editorial in the body.

At least in theory, she replaced the sale of a new Tesla with her used one. That's money directly taken from Tesla, and by extension musk.

Obviously there are a ton of extra variables, so who knows what the end result is.

Do you have any idea how many cups/mugs/plates/pans say this? Most of my dishes are not "dishwasher safe". Only a couple have had any issues with it.

Similarly, look at how many of your clothes are incredibly delicate according to the tag. It's erring on the side of extreme caution, and to provide a defense if it's a piece of shit that falls apart.

It's since been updated, although I'm not sure the changes are any better. More clinical, I guess.

Goodwin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 for 1st degree criminal sexual act and 1st degree sexual abuse, according to state prison records. He was released in 2023.

The victims were a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, according to the state sex offender’s registry.

TL;DW:

A lot of science-related YouTube channels get indirect funding from the US government.

"elections" are a cornerstone of autocracies. There will definitely be an election event.

Whether your vote is even counted is another question entirely. Same for whether you will be allowed to cast a ballot.

To remind everyone that works at Fox News headquarters

In order to do business in Mexico, they must agree to Mexican laws.

In order to do business in Canada, they must follow Canadian laws.

In order to do business in the US, they must follow US laws kiss the ring.

This isn't the first time big tech has had to tackle something like this. Usually it's with disputed territory. In that case, each region gets to see what it demands to see, while presenting something different to the rest of the world.

I'm inferring that you are not in the US, so your local laws may differ. But in the US, your attorney is required to act in your best interests to the best of their ability. Working against their client is a quick way to be disbarred and paying a massive amount to their (now former) client.

That said, this whole thing seems like an exercise in creative writing. Your life savings would be too tempting to any attorney, and they would try to steal it? You need to make friends with someone powerful to find a good lawyer? You'll need all of this in a few months, but not now? None of it makes any sense.
