Not for nothing, it doesn’t sound so successful.

Working with people is a very core skill. You suggest that this came out of the blue - but I would bet that there were a lot of missed signals on the way. Escalating straight to verbal warnings and demotion in role or responsibility means you’re missing something very fundamental in what wasn’t working or was missed.

Should this link somewhere?

How could Intel gatekeep a standard that’s fairly open?

Delta flight attendants are non-union. They’ve also had industry leading pay for… forever. Delta pilots are union and also have industry leading pay.

I don’t understand what you mean.

The only thing a little ironic is that delta FAs are the best-paid of any US airline.

Their deal is literally better than all the union deals - and the unions were scrambling to match.

They should name and shame.

It’s probably more about aggressive default bios speeds. Tweak your c states / bios overclocking / pcie power management / windows power management features. Idle power has gone down on most chips.

The Ryzen 3000 should truly idle closer to 20-30w.

If you have multiple GPUs in your home server you’re probably doing it wrong. But even then, at idle, with no displays connected, the draw will be surprisingly low.

Most systems with some ssd/NVMe, 2-4 DIMMs and maybe a drive or two should idle closer to 50w-60w.

Go tweak your power and fan settings. 100w at idle is way too much unless it’s 15 years old.

Fans, especially small ones are very sneaky energy hogs. Turn them waaay down.

Good, they weren’t doing a great job. Maybe Google is going to move this in house.

They cut supply in like September. They were all fighting for market share still, largely driven by Samsung, hence the low prices.

Server shipments were way down because everyone overbought in 2021/2022.

The NAND market has always been an antitrust shit show.

They also drastically cut supply.

BA, agree, AF, not a chance. La Premiere is much much nicer than even qsuites. LH is somewhat plane dependent, but the FCT is fun.

AA first has been a joke for a long time. It was an ever so slightly better seat and they served one extra course - a soup - but was otherwise identical to business class service. You can’t charge thousands more for soup.

First class has been dying for years - and the only airlines that will do it, it’s really a prestige thing more than a profit center.

Yes, but they’re also mostly nuts.

Where my game genie lovers at.

Juniper did a pretty good job of that themselves over the last few years.

Found the guy who’s never used a bidet.

Which states asked for CFA help? That seems ridiculous.

Popeyes spicy chicken is so much better than either.
