I’m not a CPA, but I don’t think you can write off something that already made a profit. How would that even work, if companies were able to write off predicted ad revenue? They could make up any value and never have to pay any taxes at all.
I don’t think write-offs have anything to do with them removing these episodes.
I don’t think they can write it off either way, though. It only makes sense to write off shows that haven’t made money. It’s just “retiring” when you’re taking about something that’s already been released. There’s no ulterior profit motive, unlike when they write off unreleased movies and shows.
What does this have to do with write-offs? I don’t think they can write off episodes of South Park and the daily show that have already aired.
If that happens, they just fall back to the first option of waiting for their provider to set up the IPMI.
In what way is the Linux kernel proprietary?
Are they a good choice if you only need to print a few times a year? I thought laser printers are better for that since there’s no ink to dry out.
None of my mobile devices are “necessary,” though. Honestly, I could live just fine without an internet connection. Not that I’d enjoy it, but that’s not necessary.
“Necessary” is a little ambiguous. You could argue that wifi is unnecessary for a normal home network.
Here’s my use-case, I’m pretty sure the first 2 are pretty common (common enough to be supported by most OEM firmware):
Openwrt works great for gigabit networks with simple firewall rules and no IPS. But used 10-56gbps enterprise equipment is getting pretty cheap, and more complicated firewall configurations need more powerful hardware than the typical openwrt router.
And 56gbps on a home LAN might be overkill, but that’s not important.
What’s the point of replacing them? The warranty doesn’t keep them from dying, it just means you get a free replacement. The amount of life left on the drives after the warranty expires depends heavily on how they’re used, and most self hosters are pretty gentle on their drives. I could see replacing the drives that are heavily used, but replacing all drives just because their warranty expired seems like a waste of money and effort.
