Nah, best he can do is a subscription based virtual machine with as much RAM as you need*

I’ve ordered products from some of the brands specifically mentioned, and the quality to price is often great.

Would I buy anything with a battery or an internet connection from them? Probably not. But are many things fine, and likely produced in the same sweat shops as household name brands.

It seems like a stretch to automatically hide every temu-esk brand… The brands themselves don’t even attempt to hide what they are.

That doesn’t make those components magically cheaper…

I can upgrade anything in my desktop too, but the 4x32gb ddr5 sticks I paid $200 for in 2024 now cost around $1,600.

That was passed federally in 2010 under the CALM Act

Sure, but either way, it’s not the employee’s problem.

And Federal Devices. If those devices aren’t secure, that’s not the employee’s problem.

An Onn box with protectivity launcher, all bloatware removed, and ReVanced apps is the simplest/cheapest way to go.

None of this is accurate:

Generally the wear on tires is proportional to the wear on roads, since both are effectively grinding against each other with grit as the grinding medium in between. It would be harder to find a more accurate way to measure an individual vehicle’s contribution to road wear, given that weight is such a large factor.

Surface wear on roads from tire contact is not a concern, the damage is done due to a combination of compression cycles (the 4th power law) and weather. The 4th power law being that road wear is equal to the 4th power of the axel load.

Your tire wear rate is based on so many unique factors, with vehicle weight being a relatively minor one. Force of accel/decell/turning, suspension tuning, tread, rubber compound, road material, etc.

Your tire rubber is not grinding away the road surface. It’s wild that I even have to say that.
