IoT means Internet of Things and it's mostly for purpose-built commercial applications, like running a computer as a kiosk or industrial controller. You could maybe put it on a Raspberry Pi or something.
If you want to run a gym, homelab, or office, Windows IoT may be for you. Otherwise, it's not for you. The reason there's no bloatware is to make your hardware run as smooth as possible so it can fulfill its fixed purpose.

I'm a basketball fan, but the draft is a reset, and potentially a renewal for some teams that sucked last year. It's a time for a fan to get hopeful (unless they drafted low or this year's class is shitty).
Generally, it's also an excuse to get really drunk, talk shit (online or in-person), and set up your fantasy league team. It signals the start of the season and gets you hyped up for pre-season matches featuring the new guys, even though you know pre-season doesn't really mean shit.
There's not much "special" about it, but if sports are a major hobby for you, following along whenever there's an "event" is just something some people feel the need to do. Sports fans obsessing over the draft is kind of like people who are really into movies making a spreadsheet of all of the new movies for the year.
I think there must be an issue with federation because it's still not correct for me.
When I started my last job (big multinational corporation) after an internship, I got 3 weeks of paid vacation right off the bat, with 1 more week every few years, up to a maximum of 7 weeks.
Plus 1 more week if I chose to "buy" a week by estimating the vacation I would accrue throughout the remainder of the year and subtracting 1 week's pay from that.
The link goes to a completely different article about the sexual assault trial of 5 former world junior hockey players.
I think you meant to post this link.
His band is actually going to be doing more stuff now that Angus is winding down his political career and not seeking re-election. He did an interview with Rachel Gilmore a few weeks ago and mentioned it briefly.
Even when I went to elementary school over 15 years ago in Canada, kids weren't allowed to be held back without written permission from their parents. I thought it was really fucking weird because we literally had a kid whose mom did all of his homework (everyone knew; he had horrible writing and she didn't) and yet refused to put him in a remedial class or have him repeat a year.
Unfortunately, even if Hamas relinquished power tomorrow, I think the oppression and genocide of the Palestinian people will continue. There's no reason for Israel to stop and they've still got the implicit and explicit backing of most of the world.
I am aware of the reality that banning trans people doesn't stop abuse. I am rhetorically musing about how the people who genuinely believe this may react upon learning their problems have not been magically solved by the vocal radfems pushing the notion that trans women are unsafe.
You know, like the Trump voters who were shocked that he cut social spending because they're living paycheck-to-paycheck? A "leopards ate my face" moment.
Is there an explicit vent space for trans people to talk about this topic? I am sick of being criticised for being upset that the world seems to hate my existence and trying to deal with it through commentary.
Is there something stopping her from having a job like a normal person instead of making money on Twitter? She doesn't have kids, she can do whatever else she wants. At some point, you have to admit that staying where you are is a choice you're making.
From the WSJ article this article is referencing:
Fong didn’t move forward with Musk because she pictured having children in a more traditional nuclear family, but confided to a few friends about the approach—including St. Clair, whom she knew as another conservative social-media figure—and how she worried that turning him down could hurt her earnings.
Once Musk learned that Fong disclosed the request to others, he chided her for not using discretion, according to the people, and unfollowed her. That contributed to a fall in her engagement, and her earnings declined.
Taking money/resources away from people who don't follow along is what Elon does. She knew that beforehand and made the choice not to have a kid with him with that knowledge in mind. Elon tried to coerce her and she dealt with the consequences of refusing.
Is it weird to anyone else that he just assumes his "legion" of children will follow him unquestioningly?
My dad keeps giving me stock "tips" (my stepsister works at a gold mine and he keeps telling me their stock'll go up any day now despite the mine not being in operation yet 🙄) and I haven't even followed through on that.
While that's true, unfortunately you still issued them and powerful people hold them. Billionaires, with or without the IMF, will gleefully wring every dollar from your bones if they have to.
The "investors" even say in the article that if they can't pay the $2.6B soon they'll have to pay $6.6B later, so it should be a simple decision for Ukraine. Yes... a simple decision to put your people into poverty for the horrible crime of being invaded.
As we all know, nothing bad has ever happened when a country has an exorbitant debt after the conclusion of a years-long military conflict. So everything will be swell after Ukraine gives away nearly $3B instead of rebuilding the country.
