Qi is worthless to me without the magnets. Apple gave WPC the magnets for Qi2.

That’s why the rhetoric is shifting from “they’re taking our jobs” to “they are all violent murders and rapists”.

Even Florida didn’t want them.

Say what you want about Apple, but MagSafe is amazing.

Hell yeah. I wish the Lemmy community was bigger for osrs.

$5 million is his cash income.

I’m not trying to argue that it would mean anything to not pay him. I just wanted to express my frustration that CEOs are actively rewarded and lauded for making decisions like stock buybacks when the actual backbone of the industry are looked at as drains on society because they require things like SNAP or rent assistance just to survive.

I agree that taking away the cash compensation of the CEO means very little in terms of increases for the average worker mathematically, but these executives are the ones making the decisions to do things like stock buybacks when their lowest level employees are likely seeking government assistance to make ends meet.

The cash take-home pay is only a part of their total compensation. It seems like they average about $15 million in equity each year. The disparity between the compensation between the CEO and the common workers is what is troubling.

The CEO has performance intensives that literally double their base salary based on metrics that are completely dependent on the increased performance of the lower level employees, who could only see that kind of increase in their wildest dreams.

I bet the $2.6 billion in stock buybacks they did that year could have went a long way for the workers.

same here. always had issues getting nvidia drivers working on other distros, but pop os got me going out of the box.
