Yep, I will never buy another Kindle.

I think they proved that the waste is not easily defined. I would call fraud, waste, but a computer program isn't likely to discover it without boots on the ground looking to see if the money is actually going where the records indicate.

The richest person in the world, who has had billions from government handouts, decided they were going to audit government spending.

Fraud doesn't even begin to describe it.

SpaceX did not receive government subsidies. Government contracts, yes, but those are payments for services delivered, not subsidies or handouts.

> Those contracts are direct subsidies.

They are not. You are imputing your own meanings into the word "subsidy". If you buy a Coke from a Coke machine, you are not "subsidizing" the machine's vendor.

I'm showing:

> Microsoft to force updates to Windows 11 25H2 for PCs with older OS versions

Makes me think Windows 10 computers are going to be upgraded whether or not the hardware supports it.

Thanks for the stroke. Where do I send the hospital bill?

> a search for "surface keyboard", could result in a "type cover" for some kind of tablet PC or a keyboard intended for desktop computers.

Do you mean blades?

Proof that I'm not hallucinating that name: https://www.windowscentral.com/meet-surface-music-kit-new-bl...

Oh, Blades, like the Xbox 360 Dashboard thing?

Or no, you must be referring to the Azure Portal sections.

Nothing. It is a private alley, not a city street.

Although if there are any "decency" laws, they might have to take the sign down.

I think it's misleading: It's a private alley, not a city street.

What stops someone else from paving an alley through their property and naming that? How is this different from something like that?

They're going to install a "San Francisco-style street sign" (emphasis mine) - not the city is going to install an official street sign.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct. After all, the moon is in Earth's orbit.

One would hope they’re still in Earth’s orbit - if they’ve achieved escape velocity they’re not coming back.

So if we’re being technical I think they did achieve escape velocity? But the moon’s gravity and some timed burns will slingshot them back.

But one could imagine, as a failsafe, arranging things so that Integrity was in fact still in orbit around the Earth, as a sort of "backup" in the event that they somehow missed the moon's slingshot effect.

Seveneves confirmed?
