I hope he feels worse soon

I have some doubts. Only small or weird outlets have any news on this and there is no good original source linked anywhere.

The Canadian Press explains a potential path by which this claim could have arisen, namely that Slim's company América Móvil had stated in an earnings call that they were going to invest 22 billion pesos (! not USD) in infrastructure over three years and they didn't have plans to invest it in Starlink, instead looking more towards two other satellite companies, and only for rural backbones where laying fiber would be more expensive.

Just to make sure I got the right Arabic prince here, that's the guy who ordered Khashoggi's death, right?

I'm not above realpolitik, if his interests actually align with supporting Ukraine I'm happy to hear it.

Any news about your part Sir_Kevin? I'm curious if anything has happened since Trump already backpedaled a bit.

Looks like having the option was not that wrong with the partial exemptions that have already come in.

Reading the article helps to answer this question:

The DOJ is asking the court to force Google to promptly and fully divest itself of Chrome, along with any data or other assets required for its continued operation.

It also links the filing, see specifically "III. Plaintiffs’ Revised Proposed Final Judgment"

I'm super late, but: Yes, with "Fast Startup" enabled, a Windows machine will do a hybrid shutdown, when you choose "shutdown". It will shut down userspace and hibernate the kernel. Upon boot it will load the kernel from hibernation and then start a fresh userspace on top.

Of course if you had any issues in, for example, a sound driver, then that bad state will get loaded back in too. And the uptime counter is also part of the kernel state that gets loaded back in.

If you choose "reboot" it does a standard shutdown and at the last step writes to the ACPI reset register so the mainboard does a reset and directly starts booting again. Then both kernel and userspace are started fresh.

Being dependent on support guys that are not that bright can be really annoying, especially if you are from the field too. As an IT student while working off my civil service days I had a few situations like that.

For example, one didn't understand why plugging the Ethernet splitter (splits 4 twisted pairs into 2x 2 twisted pairs) into the switch instead of the structured cabling wasn't working.

You asked the wrong person, you probably meant to place your comment one level higher up.

I think he wants to run her over with an armored truck.

Brilliant title! And interesting history meme of course.
