Had a 5 minute discussion about the calorie content of mayo because my colleague is bad at maths and also reading.

Just imagine if I were allowed to work from home full time, then I might miss out on such riveting conversations. Wouldn’t that be terrible.

wait the pinkertons are some sort of defensive intelligence agency???

i thought they were some guys in pink top hats or something silly like that where they’d hop up to your front door and be like ‘well ahoy there friend-o it seems you’ve gotten the wrong cards!’

A private “detective” agency who are banned by law from ever being employed by the government because they’re that notorious

Also a subsidary of Securitas here in Sweden, which has its own problems. Mainly that in the last couple of years its been reported many times that many Securitas employees tend to use excessive force no matter the job. Aswell as a general behaviour of racial profiling and prejudice.

specifically Pinkertons but they’re not the only ones. Pinkertons are just the most known and prolific in their notoriety to the point the US Government name dropped them specifically in a bill banning them from ever working for the government

so now they’re working for corporations

That hereafter no employee of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, or similar agency, shall be employed in any Government service or by any officer of the District of Columbia.

the fact that 19th century america was weirded out enough to call your agency out by name

It’s more to do with the future of cloud gaming and everything it touches, PlayStation uses Azure which is - you guessed it - a Microsoft owned cloud service. Let’s be real, in the future cloud gaming could arguably be something decent as internet infrastructure upgrades.

Xbox - or Microsoft - so to speak, has the much bigger clout in the cloud gaming sector in the UK and it’s a step to prevent a monopoly and use this to abuse smaller competitors e.g Nintendo or Linux.

The CMA is very much hedging its bets on the Cloud being an expanding industry in the future (which it very much is), the US trade authorities are also investigating it along this avenue too. Scraping it from google right now the only countries to okay the deal (as of this moment) are Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Serbia, Chile and Japan.

That and I’m not a fan of conglomerates, Disney owning 1/4 of all Television orientated media needs smashing up. Don’t really fancy Microsoft devouring more IPs and having the biggest stake in Cloud either.
