Well that’s just good, quality managing right there.

A hosting account and whatever forum software is these days is like $10/mo and you own the whoe kit 'n kaboodle. But no, Facebook users won’t come anyway so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is VERY HP and does not surprise me at all. If they don’t know why they’re going down, it’s not because everyone didn’t tell them.

The regular HP printer threads are another example.

That was particularly grisly. It sure went to shit fast, didn’t it.

x10 quality?

rebuilding battery packs is the new hotness. pop out the dead 18650s and load up some new ones - badda bang

(nah, j/k it’s Jenny.)

SAP’s annual revenue while Leo served as its CEO was approximately $15 billion. The HP board hired a CEO whose largest organizational experience was running a company smaller than HP’s smallest division. Based purely on revenue management experience, Apotheker wouldn’t have qualified to be a Executive Vice President at HP, yet the board put him in charge of a $125 billion technology company.

HP’s board has done a lot of messed up stuff. I wouldn’t touch HP gear with a stick.

And the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that, and

Delete. It.

So, trust your VPN service. Makes sense.

Every day this gets weirder to say but please - do not use big social media where your real information is required. Don’t use it. Don’t sign up. Delete it, right away. It was never, ever a good idea.

It’s a classic

When Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), the signature legislative achievement of President Donald Trump’s first term, it slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% — a massive revenue loss on paper for the federal government.

To make the 2017 bill comply with Senate budget rules, lawmakers needed to offset the cost. So they added future tax hikes that wouldn’t kick in right away, wouldn’t provoke immediate backlash from businesses, and could, in theory, be quietly repealed later.

The delayed change to Section 174 — from immediate expensing of R&D to mandatory amortization, meaning that companies must spread the deduction out in smaller chunks over five or even 15-year periods — was that kind of provision. It didn’t start affecting the budget until 2022, but it helped the TCJA appear “deficit neutral” over the 10-year window used for legislative scoring.

The delay wasn’t a technical necessity. It was a political tactic. Such moves are common in tax legislation. Phase-ins and delayed provisions let lawmakers game how the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) — Congress’ nonpartisan analyst of how bills impact budgets and deficits — scores legislation, pushing costs or revenue losses outside official forecasting windows.

And so, on schedule in 2022, the change to Section 174 went into effect. Companies filed their 2022 tax returns under the new rules in early 2023. And suddenly, R&D wasn’t a full, immediate write-off anymore. The tax benefits of salaries for engineers, product and project managers, data scientists, and even some user experience and marketing staff — all of which had previously reduced taxable income in year one — now had to be spread out over five- or 15-year periods.

Okay which of you space nerds wants to be a hero? This handle is going up for grabs on any fediverse instance. All you have to do is pull the latest from whatever nazi sewer it gets thrown into these days and post it verbatim.

It’s not impossible. You used to bulls-eye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

Your value stream is showing

Kid, I been from one side of this fiscal year roadmap to the other. I seen a lotta strange stuff, but I never seen anything that made me believe in some all-powerful process.

If your agile process has requirements and a due date - bad news.
