Still, part of the problem for the shortage of manufacturing jobs is the lack of education and training, according to Farley. He noted, for example, learning to take a diesel engine out of a Ford Super Duty truck takes at least five years. The current system is not meeting the standard, he added.

BS. It's not rocket science, and can be learned on the job with a proper apprenticeship culture, and without prior technical education. Also, if they had their engineers prioritize repairability at all, it wouldn't be such a difficult job.

    I was thinking about this earlier. The password manager browser plugin I use (Proton Pass) defaults to staying unlocked for the entire browser session. If someone physically gained access to my PC while my password manager was unlocked, they'd be able to access absolutely every password I have. I changed the behavior to auto-lock and ask for a 6-digit PIN, but I'm guessing it wouldn't take an impractical amount of time to brute-force a 6-digit PIN.

    Before I started use a password manager, I'd use maybe 3-4 passwords for different "risks," (bank, email, shopping, stupid shit that made me sign up, etc). Not really sure if a password manager is better (guess it depends on the "threat" you're worried about).

    Edit: Also on my phone, it just unlocks with a fingerprint, and I think law enforcement are allowed to force you to biometrically unlock stuff (or can unlock with fingerprints they have on file).

    IDK. Tech companies are bringing in more revenue than ever. The trend seems to be companies reporting great revenue growth, then laying off shortly after, to which the investors seem to reward. In the past, layoffs would usually bring stock prices down, since they have less human capital to generate profit from.

    Dunno, I haven't used private trackers in 10 years. You can add any magnet link to Tribler and it will go through exit nodes to hide your IP, kind of like Tor does for browsing clearnet. I haven't used i2p in a while either; back then, I used the Postman tracker, and don't know if that's still what most people do or not. I personally just use a paid VPN, because there really isn't a good way to set Tribbler up with an *arr stack.
