Except that citizen Trump is quite a bit less powerful than President Trump.

Yep, the only reason Motorola stopped producing them is because Motorola sold that business out to Zebra. Hell, zebra still supports the 4000, the 6300 is quite literally just a newer version.

Same deal with the MC33 scanner. My warehouse has an assortment of Zebra and Moto branded devices and Zebra handles servicing them all. Embedded industrial PCs don’t change much.

Last I remember, Baldurs Gate was on 6 separate discs, but I haven’t installed it from those in probably 20 years.

A corporation is a legal construct. While it’s theoretically possible for a single business to grow very large, most of the exploitation and legal cover provided by the simple act of incorporation becomes nearly impossible.

Plus without a state to push down competition, it becomes a lot harder to monopolize a market. Ideally there wouldn’t even be a market to monopolize, but that’s a different discussion altogether.

I wholeheartedly agree!

All corporations are created by the state. Corporations only exist because of the laws that create them. Without that special legal status it’s pretty much impossible to grow to the sizes most corporations do.

It’s actually 1 in 1000, 99.0% would be 1/100.

Probably because Dell uses fedex. I’ve been a Dell service tech off and on for 25 years, and it’s always been fedex.

Yes, a daggerboard. It’s like a centerboard keel, but slides through a slot instead of swinging up into the hull.

Scheduled pickups always cost more, but most businesses provide ARS (Authorized Return Service) labels that have pick up pre-paid. They saved $10 and made things inconvenient for you, so you’ll have to either pay for a pickup or drop it off at a UPS store or access point.

Source: been a field tech with several companies that use UPS exclusively. I am far more familiar with UPS than anyone ever should be.

Hoping to be at the point Apple was 4 years ago in 5-10 years is kinda sad.
