    Coretemp and Ethernet. Also a few years ago the guy that maintained meshcentral (the only reason to pay extra $$$ for having Intel vPro compatibile computers in the workspace)

    Basically this tells their biggest customers “next server needs to be based on AMD epyc”

    How much money they could possibly “save” with those THREE salaries? Just cut one week of travel with private jet for the C class and the same savings are served

      Mass layoffs are never done in a thoughtful way. It’s often the C-suite telling each division “cut x number of staff underneath you”. That order is filtered down through layers of management until it gets to the people who do actual work. If they’re lucky, they can negotiate some room on their team with one or two layers of management above them, but it just means another team underneath the same management layer is getting hit that much more.

      Remember that when a CEO says “we had to make the hard but necessary decision”. All that asshole had to do was say “cut 10,000 people” and filter that order down the stack. All the actual hard decisions were made far, far away from the board of directors.
