Personally, I find the whole thing condescending and dismissive, taking swipes at "Gen-X-ers and Millennials"

Ideally the card would have a TPM module and supports some sort of signed boot/firmware validation.
I know I'm being a bit coy, but hopefully that helps you understand the requirements a bit better?

I would guess that it was an intentional decision to avoid. Grady goes to great lengths to prevent anything political in his videos, and the Ukrainian war happens to be politically charged in America currently.

SpaceX/Tesla employees work as hard as they do because they believe in the mission of the company. They're willing to just buckle down and do amazing things beyond most people.
Twitter had a lot of normal employees, however, it also already had the true believers in the mission. Those people don't seem to have bought Musk's vision and they're leaving the company. He wanted to get just down to those folks, but I think by and large, they're gone. I don't know that he can recover from that mis-step. He needed to come in, explain his vision and got the true believers onboard before he cleaned house IMHO.

1. My phone 2. My wife's phone 3. My Tablet 4. My TV
They each have different screen geometries and even my tablet has two profiles really, local streaming at home or playing downloaded media on trips.
So I could transcode everything to 5 different formats and store it, or just transcode on demand and not worry about it.

> Today is your last working day at the company, however, you will remain employed by Twitter and will receive compensation and benefits through your separation date of February 2, 2023.
> During this time, you will be on a Non-Working Notice period and your access to Twitter systems will be deactivated.
> While you are not expected to work during the None-Working Notice period, you are still required to comply with all company policies, including the Employee Playbook and Code of Conduct.
It seems like a refusal to go off of the “None-Working Notice” would be treated the same as any other refusal to follow assignments and it would make legal sense that it would turn to a termination rather then layoff.
Not moral, but legal IMHO
