Remember, if Microsoft talks about Copilot usage numbers, what they’re really talking about is “number of customers not sophisticated enough to modify a registry key,” because that’s the only way to disable it.

An orange and grey hand held electric drill bores a hole into a wall.
The electric drill is shown with a very long extension and a spade bit, totaling about 16 inches in length

Just remembered another minor tech hype from a few years ago when Silicon Valley douchebros wanted to sell everyone on wireless charging at a distance (like plug something into outlet and it uses magical waves to beam power to your phone and laptop)

Major US corporations threaten to return labor to ‘law of the jungle’

Upset by the surge in union drives, several of the best-known corporations in the US are seeking to cripple the country’s top labor watchdog, the National Labor Relations Board ( #NLRB ), by having it declared #unconstitutional.

Some labor experts warn that if those efforts succeed, US labor relations might return to “the law of the jungle”.

In recent weeks, Elon Musk’s #SpaceX as well as #Amazon, #Starbucks and #TraderJoe’s have filed legal papers that advance novel arguments aimed at #hobbling and perhaps #shutting #down the NLRB
– the federal agency that enforces labor rights and oversees unionization efforts.

Those companies are eager to thwart the NLRB 👉after it accused Amazon, Starbucks and Trader Joe’s of breaking the law in battling against unionization and accused SpaceX of illegally firing eight workers for criticizing Musk.

Roger King, a longtime management-side lawyer who is senior labor counsel for the HR Policy Association, said “it will be a lose-lose” if the federal courts overturn the 89-year-old National Labor Relations Act, which has governed labor relations since Franklin Roosevelt was president.
“We’ll have the law of the jungle, the law of the streets,” King said. “It will be who has the most power. It’s potential for chaos.”

Kate Andrias, a Columbia University law professor, said workers would be hurt if the courts issue a sweeping decision that declares both the NLRB and the National Labor Relations Act unconstitutional.
“Without them, workers will be even worse off,” she said. “It’s critical that they continue to exist to protect the basic right to organize and engage in collective bargaining. This is an assault on rights we have considered fundamental since the New Deal.”

Looks like the local golf course is permanently closed. Zero tee times in March.

More houses, less open space.

It’s been open since I’ve been on this planet.

Boomer could use all the good vibes y’all can send his way.

He’s lost about 15 pounds recently, and has fluid in his abdomen where it’s not supposed to be.

He’s not even reached his fourth birthday.

Gonna be a long weekend waiting for the radiology report.

My wife is insane. She can climb into bed and be fast asleep in five minutes with the lights on. Meanwhile I’m usually still awake at 2am fretting about a conversation I had three years ago.
