Redundancy doesn’t necessarily come with a golden handshake, though many employment contracts do mandate it.

But they do have to try to find you another job elsewhere in the organisation if that’s possible, and they have to disestablish the position not necessarily you. That means that if they want to make one person from a team redundant, they generally have to actually ask if anyone wants to leave, and if not, run a transparent process to decide who from the team to make redundant, not just pick someone.

You also have to not be planning to re-hire for the role any time soon as that would imply the redundancy wasn’t genuine.

If you’re in a country with good worker protection, there’s a big difference between ‘made redundant’ and ‘fired for cause’. There is no ‘fired for no reason’.

Google has removed the video through an automated process without talking to the owner of the channel or verifying who owns the video in the first place.

Honestly sounds like Hanlon’s Razor on Google’s part. No collusion necessary, just can’t be bothered to maintain/staff an actual effective system.

Running through a tent site is not the world’s smartest plan. You’ll trip on a guy wire.

I know NZ has ‘working holiday visas’ - I wouldn’t be surprised if the US has something similar.

Do you remember where you played it?

It sounds/looks a little like some of the stuff from bontegames.

It’s heavily dependant on the plastic type. PET bottles are pretty good.

Even if it’s not recycled, it’s still far better to landfill or burn it than have it hit waterways.

If you’re an importer or manufacturer-importer, you can choose to take a lower profit margin or make a loss to maintain the same final price. If the market is dominated by domestic competitors, you might need to do this to maintain sales.

If there’s no significant domestic competitors, they’re too small to sway the market, or they’re also forced to raise prices due to tariffs on their supply chain, the price the market will bear goes up.

But I agree: it looks like it’s mostly trying to beat the idea into farmers’ thick MAGA skulls.

That’s not bad pricing wise. There’s very very little prosumer gear that’s multi gigabit and it’s all much higher price, or it’s just a PC with several NICs.

If and when we move to hyperfibre this is going to be pretty high up on the list.

European governments and courts have a long history of laughing at US companies attempting to apply US labour laws on European soil. I’m sure they’ll cope.
