USA could have spent money developing an electrified economy but the republicans are focusing on bringing back coal mining and reshoring shoe manufacturing instead.
This admin has set the USA back 100 years.
ETA - what I mean is that China is rampaging on in electrification, developing manufacturing skills, infrastructure, and design/engineering/technology around renewables and electrification. Europe is thinking about it but not going crazy to the extent China is, because legacy - China doesn’t have 100 years of cars and 150 years of trains; they’re building new. USA meanwhile is actively regressing under Republican policies.
“If it wasn’t for my medical leave, HP and Apple would be competing for the mobile market!”
It takes a lot of arrogance to be a senior executive; the way he tells the story justifies his position, that’s for sure.
During this same period, he became laser-focused on acquiring Autonomy for $10.3 billion—a software company that fit his transformation vision perfectly. Everything else, including breakthrough mobile technology, felt like a distraction from this software-focused strategy. That Autonomy acquisition later required more than an $8 billion write-down,
Apotheker wrote down 9.2 billion in 11 months and that’s just the stuff the article mentions. I can’t achieve that level of failure in a lifetime.
You missed 2. Sell (IPO)company
I’m not sure what he she actually did as far as divestiture, but evidently he wasn’t the current owner. I wonder to what degree unreasonable growth expectations flushed the company.
They’re running generators to power the data centre. Apparently they’re incredibly inefficient if they’re releasing methane
Signing an email generates a string that can be used with your public key to verify the contents haven’t been tampered with and that it came from you (assuming that you haven’t leaked the private key).  Encrypting an email is a different process; you’ll need the recipients public key, and they will decrypt with their private key.
The intent of the design of public key cryptography is that the public key can be shared freely without risk.
Perhaps why we rub our eyes when tired? I wonder.
I still haven’t figured out how to make a firewall rule with slaac on pfsense, with an ISP that hands out addresses at random. It’s my understanding’s slaac is the “right” way to do things, not dhcp and reservations.
Granted, it’s been a minute since I tried so I don’t remember the issues, but as I recall, when ipv6 prefix changes, device gets new IP (and it seems not just the prefix part. I can get the firewall to register IPs into DNS and use a dns based firewall rule, but unbound restarts and blows out its cache when a device joins the network. And there another part to it but it’s all gone fuzzy.
Is this like the Apple car? Just around the corner?
Is that the same lane-keeping that Full-Self-Drives into concrete barriers? https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/08/tech/tesla-trial-wrongful-death-walter-huang
I don’t think they can, because they’re suffering so much from the rectal-cranial inversion that Musk started with his FSD.
Muskrat insists on using computer vision entirely, and building it in-house. Tesla (probably EM) as I recall also insulted MobilEye so they refuse to do business with them. Mind you, I think lane keeping is generally a computer vision problem.
It’s absolutely pitiful that they can’t figure out lane-keeping when a cars a fraction of the price have it.
It’s also a huge red flag that they are shipping “self driving” but can’t do lane keep assist.
The current situation with megabytes of JavaScript is pretty bad, but at the time, there was still a fair bit of dialup active, and mobile web was just starting to be a thing - on EDGE and barely 3G. It would take minutes to load.
Also, Steve Jobs had it in for Flash and that’s what ultimately killed it off, I think.
