The government doesn't use SQL
That's weird, I thought I used SQL databases from government agencies regularly. Guess I was mistaken.

Microsoft accidentally lists the benefits of not using a Microsoft account on Windows 11
The online requirements are unnerving to me. I feel like Microsoft wants my personal files. I don't think it's to outright steal or scam, but there is something in everyone's data they want. Maybe AI training. Anyway I'm not giving it up willingly.

Ocasio-Cortez demands GOP specify actual crimes in Biden impeachment inquiry
Yes, Democrats allow way too much Republican nonsense to happen without challenging it. Maybe they assume citizens will realize how asinine it is but that isn't working.

Amazon Let Its Drivers’ Urine Be Sold as an Energy Drink
TLDR, not an Onion headline, just a test to see what Amazon will allow. A person came up with a "Release" brand drink, filled bottles with urine, successfully listed them on Amazon, but only shipped them to friends that ordered them. Other people ordered them too though, but were not sent the product.
Another example of a multi-billion dollar company that doesn't curate their products/services. Costs too much money they would only profit 234 billion instead of 244 billion.

Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel
They need to finish Settings before doing that. Control Panel is almost always the easier way to accomplish things and still the only way to accomplish some IIRC.

17-year-old alleged ‘serial swatter’ charged after police say he made threats throughout the country
We have two big problems here, one that this person would make the phone calls, but you will never 100% fix human nature.
The biggest problem is that police will send a SWAT team after nothing but an anonymous phone call.

A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.
Yeah well let's quit making 7000 pound consumer vehicles. Small EVs would be more efficient and better for the environment because they need less materials to build and and less energy to recharge.

That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit
This seems like such a nothing case. Steam is optional. It's optional for publishers to use, it's optional for users to install. Steam provides many many benefits for even free games or games not purchased on the Steam store.
Any publisher can publish their game on their own site, on other stores, on physical media. Even though Steam is dominant, you can buy games somewhere else as easily as you can download and install Steam itself.
I hope this case gets thrown out.

Meta scrambles to delete its own AI accounts after backlash intensifies | CNN Business
It's a big irony to me that they were making users show their driver's license to ensure they were real people, and then the platform itself makes fake people.

'We're not stopping': Trump officials raise the stakes in showdowns with judges
US Marshals, please put these people in jail and work out the details later. We need a pause to sort through the copious amounts of unconstitutional acts. When a house is on fire you don't wait until it's finished burning before you act.

‘They don’t think he’s talking about them’: Trump support rises with Latinos
How can Latinos not realize how much Trump hates them? It's his main topic, how the dirty immigrants are pouring across the border bringing crime and taking American jobs. He and his cronies say it over and over with every speech.

That is hilarious that they expect iOS users to pay a fee to sideload apps. Like comically evil.

San Jose bakery loses thousands of dollars after Tesla reportedly cancels large order
There is such a power disparity between large corporations and normal people or small businesses. A corporation can make a small decision that would devestate a person or small business and it doesn't affect them at all.

People think that foreign countries pay the tariffs and I'm not sure trump doesn't think that as well.
