    The Miami NAP has always been a hub of undersea fiber to europe and the americas, nothing new there.

  • Actual cuban here weighting in.

    I will not shed a single tear if Canel and all his people get kidnapped and tortured ... the Cuban people have suffered for 60 years because if the communist party stubbornness, but you know WHY the communist government is bad? because it's a dictatorship ... and you know who uses war powers without oversight or legal consequences? That's right ... dictators.

    Governments need REGULATION so that this shit doesn't happen, what went wrong with cuba is the same thing that's going wrong with America RN.

  • My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it?

    Jump

  • Most apartments with water included in the rent price (Sorry kids, there's no such thing as "free water") closely monitor their usage on a per building or floor basis. Whenever they detect irregularities they schedule inspections with the tenants to check for things like leaking toilet valves and such.

    "free water" just means that they've calculated the cost of installing the meters and additional plumbing and determined that monitoring global usage and including it in the price of rent is cheaper.

    Source: I have water included in my rent, I pay about $50 more a month than a similar apartment without.

  • Replying to my own comment to give yall one more tidbit.

    The latitude product nomenclature is still standard

    • 2 first digits of the model number are the "class" the higher the laptop the more high end
    • last 2 digits of the model number are the generation (we are current in 60)

    So for example the Latitude 9460 is the very high end laptop that came out at the beginning of this year while the 3540 was the entry level economy latitude that came out in 2023

  • Hijacking top comment to report that: This is true across the industry for (most) OEMs

    The Secret is to buy "Enterprise level"

    Check out the LATITUDE line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Latitude

    Those are enterprise fleet laptops ... the ones they have to support for 5-10 years.

    You know which line they don't discontinue parts for? You know which line has repair manuals and driver updates available? wanna take a wild guess which line is usually more modular and powerful at the expense of being less sleek looking and thin?

    And the best part is that you can usually buy them fairly cheap if you find them used.

    I prefer Dell Latitude to HP Elitebook, Thinkpads are OK too but they've gone down in quality a lot since they got bought by Lenovo

    TL;DR = Buy an enterprise level laptop, consumer line laptops are all trash,
