We don't want to be stuck making DDR4 RAM forever, or mobos that only use DDR4 RAM, etc.

There comes a time where you have to just move on to new hardware.

I see people say this all the time but it makes no sense. I pay taxes on revenue and so do you. We don’t get to deduct all our expenses from our salaries right?

Personal Income tax is not the same as taxes that businesses pay. You can make tax deductions too, and you can do salary sacrificing and many other things to reduce your income tax as well.

If you made companies pay tax on revenue, pretty much every company in the entire world would close instantly.

Yea so?

So you think franchises shouldn't exist?

Companies exist in countries where these types of things are not permitted.

Example please? Which companies in which countries are doing tax things that aren't permitted?

They're 14 and 16, they're literal children. Don't treat childrens relationships the same was as adult relationships.

in accordance with best practices

They absolutely would have been salted, as that is best practice. Just not something the average Plex user understands most likely.

How is it 2025 and people still don't understand how RAM works?

If you've got 64GB of RAM, ideally you want to be using nearly all of that 64GB at all times.

Yeah, when you want to upgrade your PC but the parts in your PC don't support upgrading, you'll have to replace those parts. Where's the issue?

How does that apply to this comment of yours?

In Usenet messages are replicated over all services offering that newsgroup. I hope the downsides are clear.

That's not centralization - unless you also consider the fediverse centralized?

Thanks for the confirmation that you realize you fucked up :)

The takeaway: Microsoft forced pre-release firmware onto millions of computers.

How you read that article and came to that conclusion is beyond me. No, that's not the takeaway lol. Microsoft didn't force the pre-release firmware onto people SSD's.

There are a multitude of good and reasonable reasons why it's possible. You can't make companies pay tax on revenue because that would instantly throw 90% of companies into bankruptcy. You can't stop companies from paying licensing fees etc to their parent company and writing it off as a business cost, because that would destroy all franchise stores etc.

The tax "loopholes" exist for a legitimate reason, so companies structure themselves so they can take advantage of them. Getting rid of them would hurt the companies that need them more than the companies that "abuse" them.

Any account passwords that may have been accessed were securely hashed, in accordance with best practices, meaning they cannot be read by a third party.

Rest assured that we do not store credit card data on our servers, so this information was not compromised in this incident.

Sounds like as far as security incidents go, this is as good as they can be. Sounds like someone got in and could maybe see some email addresses and not much else.
