Not a criticism of the article / documents but an observation that aligns with others comments. For new users it is probably not going to be an issue to select a different window manager / desktop experience.
Boot Arch ISO
Run archinstall
select desktop / window manager you wish to install
No requirement to manually setup X or Wayland, as the scripts / install will take care of it for you. I also understand that this is not 100% in the ethos of using Arch (where you should really understand all the packages going into your system and how all the configuration is done).
I would also include that the following is also a good resource for learning Arch. https://arcolinux.com/ (although is is a derivative of Arch this site has alot of documentation that users can learn from)
Just to add, some martial arts groups use Aluminum training blades to train with
They are used to get users mentally prepared to be hit with a blade....being hit with a blunt metal blade hurts, but its ultimately better than being hit by a sharp steel one and gets you used to the mentality that you will be hit so how do you make it so it is less painful (or life threatening when you do get hit for real)
Just to clarify, the money has already been deposited to a holding account awaiting this ruling. So Apple will not be paying over any money, they will not be getting the money refunded to them.
Yeah, I think the only impact on Apple now is that they finally have to write it into the financial reporting and close the book on it, which means that this quarter has a slightly higher than normal taxation rate?
Might give a slight wobble in the stock price, but that's nothing unusual for AAPL at this time of year anyway.
1) They basically said "we expect you to change your employment terms, hours of work and duration of work etc. Do you accept?" without communicating what would it entail, if there would be additional payments for extra work etc.
2) If the contract is not renegotiated it defaults to the previously agreed contract. One party cannot solely renegotiate it, as with any contract there must be 2 parties in agreement.
3) They gave 24 hours to respond or you automatically "resigned". This is a forced resignation, for it to be lawful it would need to have been tendered / given by the employee. It was also stated by the court that 24 hours notice is not enough time for any reasonable person to digest the information and give an informed response.
4) 3 days later he received an email stating they accepted his resignation but they would not engage with him or his legal advisors in those 3 days or after November 19th.

This sounds more like a culture change than anything else. He’s not saying your terms of employment will change, he’s vaguely saying you’ll have to work harder. Obviously the court decided it was unfair, but I think this could have gone either way.
The original ruling was that Ireland did not give state aid to Apple, that any multinational could have applied the same rules. This was not accepted by the Commission, they asked for a higher court to rule.
After several years it has now been suggested that the higher court puts aside its judgement and that it goes back to the lower court, because apparently (according to the Advocate General) the lower court did not take into account several factors and had errors in its judgement (relating to Intellectual property rights, where tax should be paid e.g. in the country of sales or in the country of registration). Which seems to make it once again an issue on tax and not on sweetheart deals.
I'm not well versed on EU rules relating to the case; do you know if it's possible that this could 'ping pong' between the two courts or is there a mechanism for a final decision on the matter?
The governments stance is that any company could have applied the same tax rules if they wished, so it was not state aid. As a side note, the "irish double sandwich" rules have changed since this
The disagreement is between the European Commission and the Irish government. The deciding authority here will be the European Court of Justice, after appeal from the decision of the General Court - which favored Ireland.
not seeing this error message when I access the Chrome Plugins page for Bitwarden and it is working fine for me in Chrome. If you have recently updated you may need to restart (maybe will need you to kill tasks in task manager)
No. Technically there's a plan to reach every household, but there are still tons of houses an hour from from Dublin with no broadband, so the chance of the NBI build out reaching these islands any time soon is remote.
Just a clarification. If they were in the role for less than 2 years there is no legal reason to provide a redundancy package (statutory redundancy). The fact that employees are getting a payment even if they were there less than 2 years should show that Stripe are not "clawing back" contributions but that the refund is due to a stadard mechanism within the pension scheme.
