Company I work at does HP warranty repairs on hehalf of HP and the number of fuckin shattered screens from the shitty plastic hinge screw housing being shorn off was absurd.

It seems to be the case with a lot of the bezel-less designs, since I know I've seen some other brands with the same problem.

I just hate that they seem to have decided it's more profitable to just leave the shitty design as-is and deal with the repairs than to actually design that shit better.

$200 definitely seems reasonable though on part cost alone, since HUs are typically the 2nd most expensive order able part besides the system board itself.

In other words, the 3 parties acting as they always do😐

333C would seem to indicate that you are correct, however as it pertains to me making a living, it's not something I'm entirely willing to test out, even if losing my minimum salary job wouldn't exactly be the end of the world.

In any case, the fact that it was legal up until less than a year ago is egregious.

Indeed I am, however that quote was taken from Fairwork (https://www.fairwork.gov.au/pay-and-wages/pay-secrecy), which is hope is correct considering it's the main government sure for these sorts of things ahahaha. It's under the "When these rights apply" section.

I also variety remember looking at the legislature itself at the time and coming to the same conclusion.

Don't get me wrong, I still do it anyway. However I can't do so as openly as I'd like other use they can and will cause a stink about it (as they've done in the past when I wasn't careful enough with who I discussed it with)

Where a contract entered into before 7 December 2022 has pay secrecy terms that are inconsistent with these rights, and the contract is changed after 7 December 2022, these rights apply after the contract is changed.

Sadly, my contract prohibits discussing pay since it was written before the law that disallowed employers from including such clauses was a thing. Stuck with it until they have to alter my contract for any reason.

"New Sexuality" and the first order of business was to create a bespoke slur for it?

Got any sources for that? Since I can't seem to find anything that supports that claim outside of religious texts

Something tells me that the Torah isn't exactly a reliable historical source.

The Cannanite - Israelite connection is suggested by modern achaelogical information which I take as a little more reliable.

You probably would be too if someone mummified you

Not going to lie; I misread the title and thought Musk was suing someone that called him a Neo Nazi. I had meant to imply that Musk was the facist.
