They've used LPCAMM on the Framework 13 Pro. I did wonder if they were going to update the Desktop to do the same.

They decide. It's their platform.

Haematoma Hitler?

AI is taking all the oxygen out of the room for anything else to survive right now. It has to die so that what remains can live. There is zero investment available for anything else.

The company is the employees, yes, including the CEOs. Their collective actions are the actions of Mullvad.

Whilst the donation does reflect well on the company, there's a lot more to the company that just one half of the leadership. I think people are right to keep a distinction between the two. "Mullvad" had no control of whether this donation was made or not, just as they have no control over any other employee making a political donation.

Should they consider if the CEOs public action have brought the company disrepute and fire him? Possibly, but I think it would be likely that such a decision could be challenged as a persons political views are not grounds for dismissal.

That doesn't make sense so I went and looked it up.

According to the S-1 filing of SpaceX, shareholders (which include employees with stock) can sell up to 20% of their stock starting on the second full day of trading after the company releases its first earnings report.

So each employee can sell 20% of their stock (probably options, but since they've had an "Employee Share Purchase Plan" (ESPP) some will hold actual shares). If 80% of someone's holdings are dependent on them staying at SpaceX I doubt many will leave after selling 20%.

The majority did not go to college.

No they don't. Not in my experience.

Remember, half of people are below average and average isn't that impressive.

I'd heard it was more that they said the AI business had taken the oxygen out of the room for them. Software was getting ignored. I think everyone knew IBM wasn't an AI player, but them saying AI had a knock on effect for them scared some.

It's since recovered, but it was one hell of a reaction.

Yeah, they bounced and flattened out to where they were before. I think it just shows that the markets are on a hair trigger right now.

And IBM had a 25% loss in a day.
