Or… we could criminally hold the Sackler family criminally liable for the mess they caused?

Most tech workers probably live in the suburbs and the public transit from the burbs into the city both suck and are insanely expensive.

Converting a commercial building to residential use isn’t that easy. For one the plumbing is very different for commercial use and not easily converted for residential. Either way this billionaire can get bent, remote work is better in every measurable way.

Is that because of the missing QT error?

It’s because of the Two Santa’s Problem. Republicans figured out in the 1970’s they couldn’t get elected competing with Democrats who want to expand social programs. They then adopted the strategy of saying the government doesn’t work, defunding it so that the self fulfilling prophecy comes true and they can be a Santa by giving tax cuts for the programs they defund.

Mine was sold by Samsung and it was still counterfeit.

They literally try to gas light you when you try to bring the problem up to them. They sent me an in app questionnaire that then told me that often products don’t work and that people think they are counterfeit. My memory stick was an obvious counterfeit. It’s kinda sick that Amazon does this.

Amazon has to deal with their counterfeit merchandise problem. Try to buy a memory card on Amazon and odds are you get a bogus counterfeit card.

Obligatory comment about how good the British show The Detectorists is.
