“Corruption” that entertains junior enlisted should be viewed with a much less harsh eye than, for example, corruption that enriches senior officers, or contractors, or elected officials.
It’s not a good thing, but it’s not exactly what I’d call “important.” Plus, I’d be willing to bet it’s an artefact of the stupid budgeting system we use.
That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.
I think Microsoft may be overdrawn on that particular credit line.
It would be nice if this served as a pointed lesson to stop putting useless, unwanted, invasive features and AI into things. Or at least to make them work.
Bread and circuses. It’s not complicated.
You’re assuming that they know the first damn thing about their strongly held lifelong beliefs about the nature of reality.
If my credit card debt vanished, it would measurably improve the quality of the rest of my life. I’m not gonna just pile the debt back up, and not having to make the payments would free up money I could save for retirement or emergency.
Has he ever apologized for anything? Ever? Even sarcastically?
I don’t think there’s any difference between bought digital and physical media.

Just because someone is the moral equivalent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch does not inherently mean that they are also the intellectual equivalent of the same.
“Feature Phone” suggests that this was from the late 1900s, or early 2000. Storage limits at the time were impractical.
True enough. Used to be, we were the only game in town, and we knew it.
Our smarter presidents tried to make sure we remained the best option, or at least a good option. Trump, as you have noted, makes is the worst option.
Does anyone in Washington understand that a “deal” generally includes giving the other guy something they want, not just demanding things that you want?
I mean, anyone looking at Win11 is gonna be skeptical about anything Microsoft is putting out.
That’s kind of what I mean by “sane leadership.” Leaders that know they are there to serve the people, and that they will be removed if they don’t.
Of course, that requires sane voters, too.
I knew of this place from Master and Commander. Nice to see the images, though.
I was an enlisted aircraft maintainer for a term of service, and I don’t recall ever being in need of aa box cutter.
My opinion stands, however. They want knives, let them have knives.
