Don't forget to put them all in italics so they execute faster!

Their business management policy going forward will be to milk existing support contracts until they wane, and then piecemeal/gut the company. The brand will end up somewhere else like how Motorola was scattered to the seven winds. (Cablemodem line became Arris, which is now owned by CommScope, cell phone line now owned by Lenovo, enterprise/mobile compute now owned by Zebra, chargers/headsets now licensed by Binatone/Zoom, radios now owned by a spinoff called Motorola Solutions, etc.)

Intel already sold their modem line to Apple, which is probably why it took Apple so long to make their own modem, they were starting from a place of garbage. They also sold their NUC line to Asus, which, given the lack of quality in the NUC13 series, probably good as they obviously stopped caring.

The martyr window would have been more during the campaign leading up to the election. That window is closed now.

So Democratic leaders are not exactly lining up around the block to pull that move.

I believe, you misspelled coward.

They also killed off part of the line in 2020: https://www.belkin.com/support-article/?articleNum=316642

They're experts at creating paperweights.

As if a man who bankrupted a casino

Oh, not just a casino, multiple!

Dug up from a previous post and updated:

Mango Mussolini's failed businesses:

  • At least four failed building ventures
  • Had a failed “university”
  • Failed vodka business (how hard is that, right?)
  • Failed steak business
  • Failed airline
  • Failed board game
  • Failed casinos in Atlantic City (how do you fail at running multiple businesses that only exist to hoover up money?)
  • Failed magazine
  • Failed luxury travel organization
  • Failed mortgage company
  • Failed presidency that took Pres. Biden’s administration most of their entire term to fix. We’re talking documents that are gone, departments that are deleted, abject chaos that had to be rebuilt from scratch in some cases.
  • And soon, a failed wireless "carrier" on T-Mobile with an "American-made" phone made in "Chyyna".

Successes:

  • Had mommy’s money to get him going
  • Had 5 successful buildings built, mostly in the 1980s
    • At least three of them had fraudulent financial statements, inflated valuations, and inflated tax losses

They can run the model locally on the car's onboard NPU/GPU, so every time the driver asks the car a question, the model can take compute away from the car's driving software. "Hey, Tesla, why are trees green?" Dashboard goes dark, car drives off road

Although to be fair, they already do that last part.

While I have my own comments to the contrary elsewhere, I'm also in agreement that everyone should arm, which is also contrary to me 8 months ago. The military aren't cyborgs and hopefully wouldn't kill their own people, other countries would step up if our country truly tried to kill us, and if we dropped a nuke on ourselves, everyone's dead across the planet anyway.

The numbers don't look good, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to live and be free, if we can't escape. Even escape isn't an end, per se, if the evil spreads, it will eventually be everywhere, and no nation will be safe. Might as well destroy the cancer before we need chemo.

The backscatter x-ray body scanners are the only scanners to be concerned with, that and improperly shielded luggage x-ray scanners you stand next to, which run at a much higher power level. The newer luggage scanners that do a CT scan are still using x-ray, it just spins around the luggage.

mmWave scanners use non-ionizing radio waves, in the same spectrum area as mmWave 5G, in fact, but at a much lower power level. Radio waves have over a century of evidence and science showing that non-ionizing radiation can't mutate cells, which is necessary to cause cancer.

Ionizing radiation like x-rays, can. Likewise, flying in an airplane at an altitude above the protection of our atmosphere, and being exposed to the sun, also exposes one to ionizing radiation at much higher power levels. That being said, why would anyone trust humans in a mediocre security organization to properly maintain their machines? Especially now with the current admin gutting everything to the bone.

STIR/SHAKEN should have resolved this. Unfortunately, telecom carriers didn't do the last step of banning any telco (mostly VoIP providers) prone to allowing scammer accounts in. They'd also have to filter US numbers calling in from other countries to validate and ensure they are real.

All of this being work, and telecoms, especially those in the US, hate doing work.
