Reading through a bit it sounds like it works on Linux, not on Windows. Folks are hypothesizing it’s disabled at the ACPI level because different drivers don’t help.

In a less polarized and post truth world you’d probably be right. I fear however that the solid 36-37% maga base will never find an issue that can’t be spun or rationalized. In the magasphere this situation seems to be framed as the GOP stepping up to fight against free health care for illegal immigrants which seems divorced from reality.

Hm, but what if we just haven’t tarrifed hard enough yet?

In my area Xfinity cable has decent upload now, though it still trails fiber. Doing a speed test just now I get 2 gigabit down and 300 megabit up and I pay $85/month with a five year price lock. This is a relatively recent phenomenon so worth checking out if you can get a similar package. Prior to this I was getting 25-32 megabit.

I’ve never made my friends or family pay, but prior to getting decent upload bandwidth I did cap remote streams / concurrent transcodes and let people duke it out fist come first serve. Mostly it was fine. I’ve given maybe 15 people access, but only a few are regularly active.

I also keep a small offsite server at a family members house that splits some of my user base and serves as an offsite backup.

“I declare eleventy-billion percent tariffs on China! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER!”

States rights has always meant that states have the right to do exactly what republicans want them to do, nothing more.

Results inconclusive.

The small price they have to pay to get NLRB complaints dropped and favorable tariff treatment, apparently.

It is astounding the rate at which companies and institutions are knuckling under. It hasn’t even been a whole year yet.

No. No, man. Shit no, man! I believe you’d get your ass raided by ice doin’ something like that, man.

Hello, fellow temporarily impoverished centibillionaire.

Mass layoffs across the federal government, you say? Was that supposed to be good or bad?

This time will be different, surely.
