thanks to Biden's high speed Internet initiative, I'm getting Gb speeds to my neighborhood this summer.

That's actually happening this time? I'll admit I haven't payed any attention to this, but I kind of figured the isps would just pocket the money again.

Pretty much, I can use more than a web browser and run all kinds programs.

Comparing expecations (based on the ad) to reality; this is still miles ahead.

I'd take an Apple over a chromebook any day.

(Yes I know you can load Linux on the Chromebook, but if I had to daily one or the other OS, apple > chrome)

Umm uhhhh they'll have to increase the total price to make up the difference in processing more numbers which will cause the employee budget to decrease hurting the local economy which means less taxes to fund fire department and your babies will burn in a fire caused by the unqualified cable tech they had to hire to offset the loss in profits.

That 'article' is garbage. The headline is more imformative than the actual article.

Nokia, of course, leaned into, ahem, patent licensing and networking equipment as its business.....

Who puts "ahem, in an informational article?

Also how is "patent licensing" a part their new buisness. They submit patents for whatever they're doing just like everyone else.

Agreed. Its a list. Anyone can make a list of people. They can even put people they've never met on the list.

I can make a list, put your name on it, label "bad people" and leave it for the FBI to find. Does that prove you're bad?

For those who have truley committed the crimes suggested by the "list", I vote for a beheading (not the one attached to the neck).

The smart people may have started it, but the dumb people listened and took it as gospel.

The search and thread managment would be a nightmare, no? You'd need a thread for every company (larger ones needing multiple split by department or location).

There's probably a hundred business with in a mile of me. Even if you splinter communities by location, the search would be difficult.

There's the normal suck, then there's "I (been there 12 years) got passed up for promotion to replace my boss who retired because the owner's nephew who worked with us for a few years (sucked and "volentarely" left 6 years ago) decided their cyptoscheme wasn't working out and needed a job, and that was the highest one paying one avalible."

Or the "Sally got verably harassed dailiy and they did nothing because the harrasser has been there 30 years. 'He's just an old man in his early 50s, older gentlemen call ladies nicknames like sweetcakes, honey, or cutie all the time. They also like to rub peoples shoulders to show ~~affec~~ to help relive the tension and promote a healthier work environment' "
