My guess is they are gonna switch to an ARM SoC, similar to one in Frame.

GTA grade name.

(There's already a company in GTA called ProLaps, which is sports equipment)

This applies tenfold if you lived in a country where the are only pirated copies of games and all consoles come pre-modchipped (especially if your game was a multi-language copy with a built-in selector/launcher). I assume the modchips had shit timing, so when the chip was having a bad day I would sometimes have to restart my PS2 for 10-15 minutes straight until it loaded. Sometimes I gave up and came back later to repeat the cycle.

Bonus memory: PS2 is supposed to play PS1 games. So when we got a PS2, on the first day I tried one of my bootleg PS1 games and it loaded fine. After that, it never loaded another PS1 game ever, showing the "please insert PS1 or PS2 disc" error.

The last point should say "... and stop halfway, because I don't feel like it anymore".
Or "... but get stuck halfway because I found something interesting in one of the drawers."

There's a good chance this person is doing this ironically, which makes it ok.

But please don't buy Cybertrucks ironically.

Is this really satire if it's indistinguishable from regular news?

No occupation, just visiting.

But that doesn't make sense even in capitalist mindset. Finding another specialist is going to take time and resources. Plus, this is apparently a very good employee, already tested. The new one will likely be not as good if this one is perfect.

I understand that this comic is a hyperbole, but seems like firing people over using their sick leave is financially detrimental.

What is this about even? What kind of install requires calls?

Talking to women is no longer considered a best practice.
Recommend upgrading to listening to women.
