I never did that kind of analysis, but the point is largely moot. They are going to get the monies bar some kind of event that completely changes the rules of the game.
That said, at certain point, even US government won't be able to bail out everyone and everyone is holding out their hands lately.
Intel's new Fabs in AZ started construction in 2021, before the CHIPS act has passed. It has had a gross profit in the tens of billions yearly and right now has ~$30Bn cash on hand. Not a single penny has yet been given from the CHIPS act to Intel [1]. So no.
That's why public transport shouldn't be left to the market. The benefits to society are huge in terms of environment so it's well worth subsidizing it.
Agreed. DC sends us notifications any time power status changes. We had a dark building event once, due actually to some similar sounding thing: power fail over caused some arc fault in HV that took out the fail over switchgear. We received updates frequently.
UPS failing early sounds like it may be a battery maintenance issue.
Your operational reviews must be lacking at AWS then (surprise surprise) then because there are so many instances where something will be released in alpha yet the documentation will still be outdated, stale and incorrect LOL.
I think you misunderstand what's being talked about in this thread. "Operations" in this context has nothing to do with external-facing documentation, and instead refers to the resilience of the service and ensuring it doesn't for example, stop working when a single data center experiences a power outage.
"It stopped working because you did XYZ which you shouldn't have done despite it not being documented as something you shouldn't do" isn't different to a customer than a data center going down. For example, I'm sure the EKS UI was really resilient which meant little when random nodes dropped from a cluster due to the utter crap code in the official CNI network driver. My point wasn't that every cloud provider released alpha level software by the same definition but that by a customer's definition they all released alpha level software and label it GA.
Only if you made absolutely sure that the battery was secured tightly - from the same article. Out of the 200M+ iPhones that Apple sells every year, how many people do you think wouldn’t put the battery and the cover on perfectly?
The same applies to gluing the rear cover back on, except instead of simply ensuring you've applied enough pressure and the gasket is in good condition, you now need to check that you've soldered the battery properly, positioned the glue correctly, heated the glue enough that it melts but doesn't fry your phone, and applied enough pressure evenly.
Well you don’t have to do anything. Spend $69 - $89 and let an Apple certified repair company to replace it and if they do something wrong, it’s covered under warranty.
All I'm saying is that you used to be able to get smartphones that were like this, and they weren't any more expensive than any other smartphones. (EDIT: I was wrong, they were about $25 more expensive.)
So this is demonstrably possible. The only reason I can think of that it's not done anymore is cost savings.
Modern phones are packed to the brim with features. My phone has a goddamn LIDAR scanner! I really don’t think it is feasible anymore, and I think most people would prefer an extra 2-300 mAh over swappable battery. Of course replacing it once by a dedicated shop each 3 years should be possible.
Only actual people who must have an IP68 battery replaceable phones are that kind of people. Others just go for an iPhone and just pays for shop replacements few years later.
I think you should finish the degree. For two reasons you have a scholarship / can do it without taking on debt and with recent events the job market will be tough for everyone.
I have a bachelors in a non-STEM field, and am self-taught (been working for ~5 yrs now, a few years as an IC and then now been an engineering manager for almost 2 years). I manage people who have bachelors/masters in computer science, and having the degree both grants you more job security and leeway in negotiating better compensation (I've seen qualified people without a degree get passed up/not been compensated as fairly for their skills). My company has a 'education benefit' so I've been looking to go back into school to get my masters in software engineering - maybe this is the year. But in my opinion/perspective, the degree opens up so many more degrees compared to if you didn't have it.
