Or just reinstalls it in the next update.

I finally solved this problem in my desktop by having two separate M2 drives, one for Windows and one for Linux. Boot & grub live on the Linux drive and Windows never touches it.

With Linux and Windows on one drive, this is super annoying.

The existence of Project 2025 makes all of the "which candidate is better?" discussion completely irrelevant. If you support the people that support Project 2025 then you're a bootlicker who wants to end popular representation in the government and replace it with authoritarianism. If you are vocally against the people who oppose Project 2025 then you are collaborating with the enemy.

Any other option is better.

They couldn't afford surveyors but they can pay lawyers to file a half dozen fraudulent lawsuits?

I hope a judge smacks them.

Eh, this has been Republicans since long before MAGA. "Personal responsibility" and all that...

I want to see fines that have real teeth. No flat rates. Some defined amount per violation, in addition to forfeiture of all revenue derived from or connected to the violation(s). It might be complex to figure out what revenue that applies to inside a large corporation, so to help with the assessment you get a group of government auditors attached to your company for as long as the assessment takes. You pay their wages and provide them with whatever office space &etc they require, and they have a position on your executive board and full oversight of company operations until your debt to society is fully paid.

Regulatory violations should risk ending the company. If you can't run a profitable business legally then you shouldn't be running a business.

Seems like the entire networking stack is held together with string and duct tape and unnecessarily complicated.

The more you learn about network technology the more you realize how cobbled together it all is. Old, temporary fixes become permanent standards as new fixes are written on top of them. Apache, which was the most widely used web server for a long time, is literally named that because it was "a patchy" server. It's amazing that any of it works at all. It's even more amazing that it's been developed to the point where people with no technical training can use it.

The open nature of IP is what allows such a varied conglomerate of devices to share information with each other, but it also allows for very haphazard connections. The first modems were just an abuse of the existing voice phone network. The internet is a functional example of building the airplane while you're flying it. We try to revise the standards as we go, but we can't shut the whole thing down and rebuild it from scratch. There are no green fields.

It has always been so. It must be so. It will continue to be so.

(the flexibility of it all is really amazing though - in 2009 phreakmonkey was able to connect a laptop to the internet with a 1964 Livermore Data Systems Model A acoustic coupler modem and access Wikipedia!)

79,000 rpm/88 guns = 897.7 rpm/gun, but Wikipedia has the PPSh-41 rate of fire listed as 1250 rpm, which would make this 110,000 rpm.

But, that drum magazine only has 71 rounds, so you could get 110,000 rpm for about 3 seconds (71 rounds/1250 rpm = 0.057 min = 3.4 sec) ... and then what? Fly back to base so you can swap out 88 individual drum magazines? And also do maintenace on any of the guns that jammed?

Some real redneck engineering energy.

The king is not weak. In 100% of games it's the last piece to fall.

Yes, well that's because he puts everyone else in harm's way first. Typical behavior for a "noble".

Realistically, the more accessible the internet becomes the more it reflects the behavior of humanity at large.

These things exist because they're part of us. The internet probably makes them more visible, but I doubt it makes them more extant.

Imagine killing an animal because of a college sports rivalry, and not thinking there was anything wrong with that.

I'm sure Elon's server management methodology will produce a secure and reliable audiovisual communication system.

Surely Mr. "This is making my brain hurt" will do a great job setting up new network infrastructure and won't cut any corners, understaff any important teams or try to rush the completion of work that should be carefully planned and executed.
