New comment by mulletbum in "Robert Mueller Has Died"

The investigation produced 37 indictments; seven guilty pleas or convictions; and compelling evidence that the president obstructed justice on multiple occasions. Mueller also uncovered and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice. Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses.

It absolutely said Trump was connected to Russiagate and very much broke the law, Mueller was forced to shut down the investigation.

60 really isn't a problem at all. I will drive a 1,000 miles going 60, if I can do it in a straight line, it would still save a large amount of time. The problem is absolutely that 20mph range. Not useful at all.

I have to say, this is not targeted at you. I know exactly what a 1990s gaming experience is like and xbox is the console that killed it completely.

Then they should stop buying it.

It's really that simple. They wont. More subscribers will come, Amazon will increase in market share and the enshitification will continue.

Considering it is basically the only over-the-counter pain med allowed during pregnancy, I think we will learn that this government doesn't understand the difference between causation and correlation.

How does something like this happening not make people immediately realize that the Republican party is not working for the people anymore? I don't think Dems are doing a bang up job, but this is something developed and deployed, 100% working, that only helps the American people navigate a complicated tax system. The only reason to get rid of it is to hurt the American people.

I think Universal Healthcare does this too. I just turned 40 and I would be WAY more interested in jumping jobs if it existed. Instead I keep on because my wife is going back to school and such, so everything relies on me.

They aren't even doing hardware well in some cases, their bread and butter.

Bluetooth has been broken on both editions of their Pro Max Phone (15 & 16). It cuts out and has all kinds of weird issues, but no fix has come for years now. This was why I always paid a premium for their phones, they did hardware and software well. Not anymore, their so focus has been on their processors.

Apple has had a Bluetooth software issues in ios 17 and 18 that makes both 15 Pro Max and 16 Pro Max randomly disconnect Bluetooth and all sorts of weird issues. They waited over a year to finally address it in 18.3, then proceeded to break Bluetooth now where it just all together disconnects over and over.

Apple has gone WAY down hill.

I solved this by having twins. They are 4 and just play with each other. Try that next time!

Use Magnet with Left and Right snapping. It works perfectly fine on an ultrawide.

As a person who runs manufacturing in the US, this is our work culture too. Also the same at the other 3 previous places I have been at. The company culture asks for something, if it is not provided, you find someone who wants to be a part of that type of culture. There is an expectation to pay for it though.

I don't think him not doing something that makes sense is a negative. "Balmer did not invest billions in a company that would go no where" is not a negative.

Still can, Skype was rebranded into a more successful product, but the backend has ton of legacy Skype work inside it still.

Skype is now the backbone of O365 and what evolved into Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Phone System, and Microsoft Team Room Systems. It's literally gobbling up the market as we speak, forcing long time AV vendors to have to build distinctly Microsoft products. Poly, Logitech, Crestron, all massive players in the space, have to bow to Microsoft's requirements and build hardware carefully sized for Microsoft Teams Room interfaces. They are basically removing almost all the software from these companies and making them only hardware, they will eventually produce the hardware themselves as well.

The same way every other battery replaceable product controls for it, they write it on the housing.

Why? The main point of this is that E-bike batteries are a dime a dozen, built poorly, and hard to replace. Your Makita or better yet a Ryobi, uses their very specific battery that can be used in 50 different tools. The only real thing saved by making it replaceable like this would maybe be the plastic housing around the battery. Considering their batteries have all batteries under one shielding etc. there is less waste by doing it they way they already are as their batteries are universal to a bunch of their tools.

What stops you from doing that in any battery operated device?
