Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it
  • Another angle: Those were some of the first dual-core x86 processors, released 2006 and 2005 respectively. (Intel had the Pentium D as its first in 2005).

    I don't remember which I had for sure. I'm leaning more towards Core 2 Duo. It was my first PC, I was 12 and built it with my father.

  • You can bypass the requirements

    Not all of them. Windows 11 stopped booting with Update 24H2 on CPUs that don't support the Instruction POPCNT. But that's only an issue for really old CPUs like Intel Core 2 Duo and AMD Athlon 64 X2

  • Which scene in a movie/series do you think didn't make any sense to the plot ?
  • In the same vein, in looper where they start crippling the past version of a person and the future one who is running away from something gets starts stumbling more and more until he can't walk, but the first few hundred meters he still made somehow.

  • Power goes out on entire island of Cuba, leaving 10 million people without electricity
  • For a historical analogue check out what happened in Italy on 28. September 2003. One international line in Switzerland sparked to a tree, and got shut down, that caused a cascade where the other lines to France were overheating and getting shut down a few minutes after, and Italy didn't manage to shed enough load in time to keep up their frequency internally, then everything shut off when it drooped low enough. Took them 18 hours afterwards to get the whole grid back online.

  • Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks?
  • Ah yes we have some general contracts for whole sectors as well that ususally contain better conditions (called Gesamtarbeitsvertrag GAV).

    My workplace, also IT, also gives 180 Swiss Franks a month to help with lunch (much appreciated in Zürich, shit's expensive). There are some tax rules concerning workplaces either offering cafeterias or lunch subsidies. I believe 180 is the most they can give you before it counts as a separate form of reportable income that needs to be taxed. I think this is common for office jobs, but I also don't have hard numbers.

  • There are various exceptions in Switzerland too, I think the weekly maximum if going over your contract is 50h and that can either be paid with 25% extra, or compensated by free time in another week. And then even this maximum can be surpassed by another 2h/d, for a real max of 60h, if there is exceptional work that needs to be done, also paid with 25% extra, or compensated by free time in another week.

    It seems a little complicated to me, lukily I haven't really had to deal with those protections in the law yet, since my workplace is pretty sensible overall.
