Or you can switch to an H1-B and apply for a Green Card immediately after getting it if you feel like becoming a permanent resident.

The H1-B also need to be renewed (even for the same employer), except it's on a 4 year period IIRC. Also, the TN can be renewed indefinitely, whereas the H1-B can only be renewed so many times before you're "forced" into

Well, the official Apple mouse does not require a dongle, their logic must be something along the lines of "that's what you get for using third party mice".

Only base salaries are used for Visa purposes. No equity/bonuses are included.

Do you need to support older hardware? Or is there a particular reason you can't use DB-25 and just use 19 pins?

It still baffles me that people feel entitled to live forever in a rental unit with minimum rent increases (while keeping the right to move out whenever if it's advantageous). Not being subject to this is pretty much the main advantage

Hasn't this been known for months now?

I agree, as a foreigner living in the US, it's baffling how different each state is in regards to law/budgets/etc.

Came here to say exactly this, 24-bit matters because of digital volume controls. 192khz on the other hand, is kinda pointless.

That is nowhere near the South Bay though.

There are some subscription services that are quite affordable and not having a cell phone in the modern world is not really an option.

Japan, Mexico City, and other seismically active places, have such systems in place and have had them for years. Amazing that California, the epicenter of tech, is just getting on board with this.
