    Cisco shuts down in Russia Networking giant Cisco will wind down its businesses in Russia and Belarus following the invasion of Ukraine earlier this year. The company first suspended its operations in the two countries back in March 2022 alongside several other major technology and mobile companies, condemning the “unjustified war” and the violence against civilians. Apple, Ericsson, Microsoft and Nokia are among the most notable firms to take action since the start of the invasion. Now Cisco has decided to make its stance permanent and has started the process of withdrawal. “Since our announcement on March 3, we have continued to closely monitor the war in Ukraine,” the company said in a statement on its website. “We have now made the decision to begin an orderly wind-down of our business in Russia and Belarus. “We are focused on ensuring impacted employees in Russia and Belarus are treated with respect and have our support through this transition. Cisco remains committed to using all its resources to help our employees, the institutions and people of Ukraine, and our customers and partners during this challenging time. “We will communicate directly with customers, partners, and vendors to settle our financial matters, including refunding prepaid service and software arrangements, to the extent permissible under applicable laws and regulations.” Earlier this week it was reported that users in Russia could not download Windows 10 or Windows 11.

    The judge was pretty emphatic in his ruling. Maybe if something similar happens in another state, a federal case may arise and this issue can be laid to rest permanently.

    @Jolly said in Uh, about that committee...: @xenon said in Uh, about that committee...: I only talk politics with you lot. Or I guess when I mansplain to my family back in Canada that their caricature understanding of American political issues is wrong. But to answer your question, no. Prithee, what is your parents perception of American politics? Greatest country in the world. Eons ahead of sort of politically corrupt places they came from. But my dad still sometimes worries that some people will think he's taliban - He has a turban and beard - so he dresses extra nice when he's here.

    @jon-nyc said in Bwhahahahahaha....: Ummmm he wrote a concurrence I think that's understood. I heard that Roberts wrote a concurring opinion that accused the majority of unnecessarily upsetting the country, even if the legal justification was sound.

    @Axtremus said in A long deep dive into the law of Roe & Dobbs: the right to have children also implies the right to not have one. But there is no right to commit murder. I guess there is a right to kill people during a war. Maybe we could declare war on women and children and thereby legalize murdering babies. That might satisfy a liberal scotus.

    Sure, dead babies are cheaper than live babies, even with the travel expense. The stockholders will be happy. Now, Democrats will love greedy corporations.
