  • Boost my ass.

    They spent the previous 3 years shredding any chance they had at being a serious power player by nuking both the economy and government all while sucking American foreign policy demands.

    They are literally only invovled because they happened to be a foreign nation that borders Iran and happens to have a sizeable military that offers security for negotiation purposes.

    The only thing they’ve gotten out of this is some KSA loan money slashed. The same loan money that they nuked thr aforementioned economy and government for and ehich they obviously sent and spent for businesses and living abroad.






  • It’s because they sell all of their products as a vendor package with advertised SLAs and “discounts”.

    If your company needs cloud stuff and you happen to want Azure, you’re basically getting locked into Teams.

    Unlike specialty software like Adobe, pretty much everything Microsoft offers has feature parity or superior alternatives, it just relies on the fact that businesses aren’t stuck on any one of their products.

    There are actually a handful of companies that only use MacOS or Linux, but it requires both your IT team and management to be competent enough to throw MSFT away, which is much harder to do in a legacy settings when your entire domain infara is a 20+ year old AD domain.




  • I already said it a month ago, but I’m pretty sure the main contention over the agreement has been getting Israel to play along.

    Trump can’t actually say that he’s on Netanyahu’s leash because that would mean his supposed authority is non-existent. Iran also knows that Israel will never agree to anything, so they naturally opted to skip straight to negotiating directly with the US and having them “pull the leash” on Israel.

    Regardless if it goes through or not, it ends in a fight between whether the US owns Israel or Israel owns the US.


  • higher than 0% can cause lost grades.

    I still lose marks.

    Is this actual policy or are you just trying to make sure your AI usage can’t be detected?

    Because there is no reliable way to detect AI usage except for obvious styling, prompt traps, and just matching your comprehension with the material (grades on assignments vs closed notes test).

    I’ve never heard of any university using such a system and would bring this up to administration with other students if they ever used such an unreliable grading method.





  • Not tryna dox myself but I was able to get a ticket to the Argentina vs Iceland warm up match held 2 days ago in Auburn because Auburn University sold the tickets directly for $78, and they still didn’t sell out the stadium, so you could buy tickets for as low as $40 from resellers.

    And they played Messi too so its not like it was some B squad match, they all actually showed up.

    If Auburn couldn’t sell out the stadium for such a game, there’s no way FIFA is filling any of the world cup matches except for maybe semis and finals.
