Samsung workers threaten strike, demand share of $38 billion AI memory windfall

union is demanding that Samsung remove its performance bonus cap and allocate 15% of operating profits to employees

Even this demand low balls what they deserve. 50%+ as they are the value add is the honest way to look at it.

They still keep the record of all the information you provided, likely including email, name, what you purchased, with what payment method, and more.

They will be able to make statistical inferences of your socioeconomic status variables and can and will resell that data to others who will absolutely not give a shit about your unsubscribe status. In the end it may be worth the 15% off for her, but it is definitely not scamming them by unsubscribing.

(Rant) Linux really needs to do a better job with package management...

I don't remember the exact details. I've been happy on Fedora for long enough all I remember from Debian is not being able to find anything and seeing references to repo's that don't apply because I wasn't on the beta stream.

;tldr I went through the trouble of wiping and installing another distro because of the bad vibes it gave me.

What's a scientific fact that sounds 100% real but is made up?

I'm sure it could be explained better, but for points 2 and 3 is it because electrons aren't particles but perturbances in the electromagnetic field the probability distribution of which is described by the energy shells of atoms?

No joke. My distro hop history was:

Mint , but it's older so... (TBF I could have avoided a lot of grief and just stayed here),
Installed Bazzite , nice but my vidcard is so old it'll be unsupported next release,
Tried to install Ubuntu but the installer crashed every time,
Debian installed but holy wtf is wrong with the package management. JFC. (it is really bad, skip if you aren't intimately familiar with Linux),
Noped out of that to Fedora where it's been amazing except for the complete assholes in the support Discord.

Windows Update is a torture chamber for seldom-used PCs

I'm on Fedora and for me it is as simple as sudo dnf upgrade --refresh -y, Come back in 5 minutes and manually restart.

There is no babysitting required. You can see the realtime progress of the entire process if you want to. It does not need reboots to install other updates. The updates don't refuse to install if you've removed Edge Browser or any other 'necessary' (BS) software.

the bigger difference with dnf is instead of apt update && upgrade it's dnf upgrade --refresh

Sent this to my friends flexing a "top 65%" score. The site didn't make it clear that's not a good thing.

IQ tests test for many aspects of human intelligence. Any that would apply to the education system. IQ is usually separated into these groups so your overall result would show 94 general, 120 social, 84 spatial reasoning, etc...

That said, yes. 94 isn't an indication Special Education is warranted.

They aren't 'useless'. There's a reason despite it's flaws that it is still used today: It is a very good predictor of academic outcome.

That said, way too many assume it can do far more than it's supposed to.
