What happened to “Learn to Code.”
I thought that was the answer for unemployment.

Using interest rates to pay for government employment.

So what is used to host the virtual machine?

Microsoft Surface Pros for employees who carry them back and forth to the office for the two or three days a week they're in.

For remote contractors, whatever they use for their company. We previously had them connecting remotely to dedicated PCs in the office but now they're connecting to Windows Virtual Devices (WVD). Prior to 2019 we had 20 dedicated machines but now we're down to 5 dedicated machines due to software restrictions and have 30+ virtual machine users.

"So what is used to host the virtual machine?"

Just one more robust machine instead of 10 individual ones.

Dell gonna get spanked for not waiting until after Joe’s circus.

Dell hasn’t really done anything to innovate. In most cases, their products are just average at best.

Most of the things people needed PCs for in the first place, can now be done on their cell phone.

"Dude! You're getting a pink skip!"

[dfwgator]

I think that dude got a cell.

Dell went Chinese so screw them.

But what about all of the advanced features that will be built into Windows 13 requiring a new platform to handle the bloatwear.

Several years ago the TV news showed how the North Koreans were operating their computer systems.

First thing I noticed was that they were using DELL Computers. Again, North Korea.

I didn’t know that!

“Curtis stopped appearing in the commercials in 2003, after he was arrested for trying to buy marijuana. Dell’s strict drug-free policy forced them to terminate his contract, although Dell was already moving in a new direction with their commercials.”

He’s 39 now...which makes me feel old.

[wally_bert]

I buy a fair amount from Dell on the job.

[SaveFerris]

He did!!

[SPDSHDW]

Are you including Google, Twitter, Apple, Facebook into that %?

50k here and 60k there, and all of a sudden you’ve got numbers that mean something.

The last time I spoke to tech support it was a person from new Deli

The NSA is hiring snoopers and censors.
