Amazon has historically said that they don't care about their stock price. The losses in question are a mark-to-market loss on Rivian. If you look at their operational numbers they're mostly fine. That's the problem with the

The cost should be billed to the department with the users that were affected. The laptops are assigned to those employees, so normally any kind of compliance/spend should be associated with them as well. It doesn't matter if thos

The limits are because at this point there's no way to tell the tool what you're trying to do. The various photo modes are a step in that direction, but they've been stuck. Once they find a way to interact with the processing

Oh, they brought in Waldemar Horwat and he worked on the Rosemary runtime. For those who don't know, he wrote the TMON low-level Mac debugger when he was a teenager and has gone on to do all kinds of stuff.
