Many years ago, we had a troubled employee leave work very mad. He was quite furious with his computer and went home for his revolver unbeknownst to us. He came back to work with it and unloaded all six rounds into the system. Each round went through the case and each one missed the drive/motherboard/videocard. So, the system was still working despite the abrupt extra cooling holes. This further incensed him and he went away even madder, but this time in cuffs.
Yes, and one of the reasons I want to keep it going. It’s an old Fujitsu and has a cool form factor (another reason). I recycled about a dozen laptops a few months back, but could not bear to see this one go. It came with XP, but I don’t care to reload that at all. Am also downloading older versions of Slack to see if they’ll work.
More “kid glove” responses to a company killing people. Penalties really need to be harsher than a simple fine without admitting wrongdoing. My confidence in CPAP machines in general has been shook, but I will never knowingly buy a Philips product of any kind again.
I wish we’d stop taking the easy route and settling these suits too. Litigate them to a guilty verdict and punish them harshly. Otherwise it’s just the cost of doing business ad nauseum.
They were never really punished for this and I think this was a lesson learned by all that corps could do what they want without fear of repercussions.
Hung jury for a guy who fired his rifle at a passing crowd and killed someone. ... That means at least one jury member just thought that it wasn't a crime to kill people...
Is there one juror who was purported to be a Fox News viewer on Trump's hush money trial? My cynical self sees a similar result coming there.
