How far back do you think worker protections go, specifically in the context of punishment?

Strapping (beating someone with a leather strap... Sounds familiar here) was common in factories in the 1800s.

You didnt have to be a slave to get beat/whipped/more.

Unfortunately, I do, for one client for work as a requirement.

Its for their own tool though, so its their problem.

Oh definitely, I just didnt expect the Intel's to increase so much or so quickly.

I was planning to pick one up to replace my GPU in my main workstation, and a second to be a transcoding workhorse with av1 support. Unfortunately waiting a bit longer likely won't help considering the tariff nonsense, so I'll probably end up buying last gen for less and waiting a few more years to go current.

I was juuuust thinking about getting a new GPU, so this was timely...

I thought the B580 was supposed to be around $250, but it seems they are retailing in the mid $300s or so. Maybe I'll grab an older A series for now for my transcode box and wait a bit longer on my desktop upgrade.

Just to check and be sure its not hardware, have you done a clean boot and run a stress test?

Oh its definitely the bed they made.

I'll take whatever positives I can get though

Considering the sweeping loss of maga in Texas, I'm thinking some Texans are starting to care, which is good to see.

I hate this so much.

I'm grateful I only know of one anti-vax looney toon at my kid's school.

As an American, I wholeheartedly endorse this plan.

Its more often that I get my hands on something in need of minor repair, perhaps a part. Newer devices arent always easy either - I've had trouble finding parts for a robo vac thats 5 yrs old, for example.

Well, guess my memory goofed that one up. I had remembered it being a thing (and I thought I remembered something in shoprite).

But hey, thats why you can't always trust what you remember!
