Honestly good luck. I left a company and removed myself from the meta account which triggered the deletion of our whole app. Impossible to recover. Meta suck.


LOL


Very rude. Just because you work for The Register doesn’t mean you can bring your toxicity here.


1. Pointing out a garbled message is not "toxic".

2. I tried to word it politely, in fact.

If you understood it then what do you think it meant?


I couldn't make sense of it either. The top level comment doesn't make sense as written.

>One of the best tools to set a Windows/Reactos computer among MMC.exe, and now their are ditching it because of braindead mobile users with no clues to solve anything.

I was just skipping the comment because it was made no sense and seems to be trying to be hostile.

Skipping it is arguably more toxic than asking politely to rephrase it. Skipping it assumes the meaning behind the comment isn't worth trying to decipher.

I default to, "If they can't be bothered to write it properly then it's probably not worth reading". But that's not always fair to EFL people or NT people.

What do you feel the correct course of action is?

--- Edit: Based on the comment and what pcdoodle has said, is this a fair representation of how you interpret the comment?

>Control Panel is one of the best tools to configure a Windows/ReactOS computer. (Another such tool is "MMC.exe".)

>Braindead and clueless mobile users can't figure out how to use Control Panel. That's why Microsoft are ditching Control Panel in favour of the more iOS/Android-style Settings.

>This is frustrating to me as a Windows power user.

Aha! Now I get it! Thank you.


Not sure why this is downvoted. Economic activity should be enjoyed by the commons. For example LNG being exported UNDER international value and Aussies buying it at international prices is idiotic.


Three words: left hand drive.


What point did you want to make? They discontinued iAds. Did you just find the first google result for karma points?


Not sure what iAds is or what my post has to do with it.. Maybe open the link and read it first?


When I click your link I immediately see an image with this caption: > Steve Jobs announces the since-discontinued iAd service in 2010.Photographer: David Paul Morris

Maybe you could clarify what you were trying to say by posting this article? Are you suggesting that apple is engaged in similar behavior to the original post? That the quote about taste from Steve Jobs is ironic given something you took from the article? Did you just find the article relevant and really don’t have anything to say beyond its contents?


> Maybe you could clarify what you were trying to say by posting this article? Are you suggesting that apple is engaged in similar behavior to the original post

Yes. There's plenty of discussion elsewhere in this thread which explains it.


Wrong.


There used to be a TRIM program you could install. Used one when I swapped out the super drive for an ssd in a 2012 MacBook Pro (I think at around the same time?)


I believe it was!


Unions have already figured out that foreign workers will need to staff it and will make everything from construction to operations near impossible. Which is incredibly shortsighted - you need the job demand before you can create the training demand and the skills in the country to train them to make it feasible for Americans to work there.


Those foreign workers are already here in the US getting their educations. We can either incorporate their knowledge and skills into growing our industry here or we can send them back to their home countries to do it there.

Seems an obvious choice.


What American is going to train at university for a job they have to go to Taiwan for? I’d say very few. Seems like good economic policy to kick start this fab.


There's absolutely no reason American workers couldn't be trained, other than capitalists being too cheap to pay for training.


Having skilled workers in an economy is a matter of having a skills pipeline that takes about 20 years to build. It starts by making industries exciting places for school leavers to think about their education, the accessible training programs and university places where they can learn to do it, and of course, somewhere to work. Now, the government is stepping in and creating the demand for those jobs. Good union & education policy should be getting people in those university places.


This isn't just a "sit in a class and learn" thing. While the American workers are being trained the plant will haemorrhage money as yields are bad. This kind of shortsightedness is a classic rent-seeking strategy by unions. But that's normal, union leaders are always fighting the last war. Additionally, they serve present workers, not people who could be workers.

After all, employers would rather choose local workers since they're way easier to get. The problem is that you need to run the plant effectively. You can't do that with a 100% untrained workforce. You need a skilled workforce that you can then augment locally as you scale. You need to build the pipeline, but that takes time and you need to be alive during that time to succeed.

This kind of "it's the filthy capitalists" is just that brand of online ranting that has always been popular. It's not interesting because it barely attempts to look at causes. Filthy capitalists would rather make money than spend 3x as much and take 2x as long to build a plant. Time is money. Especially literal now with high interest rates.


Technology means the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. It is a technology. If this is good or bad, is a rather Victorian notion called the appeal to nature.
