Well I mean, at least they are keeping an election promise?

Not that it's a good promise to be keeping though

Regarding the title thing. Lots of news sites will have multiple titles that get swapped at random. The different wordings increase the click through rate. You might not be interested in title 1,2 or 3, but title 4 gets you to click.

But as for change logs for the actual article, none that I know of. The best you normally see is something like "last edited 5 minutes ago"

Stakeholders that want a payout will demand the data be sold to the highest bidder.

And other companies will probably be interested in said data and willing to buy.

I would like for it to be destroyed as well, but capitalism going to capitalism.

Yep, companies give "unlimited PTO" because it's a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

Give them 20 days PTO/year? They'll take around 20 a year.

Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

Yep, Gucci and Louis Vuitton on the prowl.

Honestly, this does explain why vendors like HP seem to have every possible combo of device available in their business class laptops as Intel CPU options, but it's sometimes like pulling teeth to get equivalent AMD options.

It's sometimes a PITA if a client specifically wants an AMD machine for some reason.

Surprised they didn't lean into it. "Just lost your job? More time to play games!"

If a school provides a device to a student to take home there's two possible outcomes.

  1. They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there's a way to invade privacy, intended or not.

  2. They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.

In both instances there's something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.

Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)

It's what some people will pickup before going to a house and getting a surprise visit from Chris Hansen.

The easy-way-to-end-up-with-a-police-visit classic:

  1. Plan B pill

  2. Giant "9" balloon

  3. Vodka.

Guess we should change the old saying to if it's brown lay down, if it's black put it on snap?
