I am confused...
Unfortunately, Project 2025 is a whole book/organisation devoted to getting effective permanent revenge.
The NASA Vehicle Assembly Building is also a contender.
I'm not sure how many dividing walls there are inside Everett, but the VAB is basically one massive empty skyscraper.
I feel dumber having read that.
Banning a whole country because you disliked a company?
Dealing with stuff that's 'almost working' is often harder than starting from scratch; ask any tradesperson.
They also apparently cannot get their heads around the fact that people might give you a discount if you advertise their brand. Ad-supported pricing has been around for a long time; it's not some voodoo.
When you download a torrent, you're downloading it from someone else's computer. That 'someone else' is usually an individual, not some file sharing site with redundant servers.
When you download a torrent, someone had to send it. It's a small cost for individual torrents, but they had to pay for energy, internet connection, hard drives etc. If more people seed the torrent, you get a small bit of it from each seed, spreading the burden.
If no-one with the torrent has their computer on and seeding it, you cannot download the file, because there is no-one to download it from. If there are several seeds with the torrent, then you can still download it even if one or more seeds turn the computer off at night, delete the file, or are overloaded.
B key vs M key. Laptop likely needs a SATA M.2 using B or B+M keying, you have a PCIe x4 drive with M keying.
Not sure if sarcastic...
No, I think that one's fairly common. So is just "Republican gets pregnant, now supports abortion - but only for her specific circumstances".
Not all seeds are online 24/7. Sometimes leaving the torrent running for hours or days can allow you to download it when that PC/server gets switched on.
These have been around for at least a decade, maybe two. It's hardly a novel concept. Yes, they're potentially a crutch for buildings with spaces that don't get (enough) natural light... but they also do so on overcast days too.
If the cost per TB is the same and they're buying tens of PBs anyway, large commercial customers want fewer, bigger drives. That means fewer slots in servers, fewer storage controllers, and possibly even fewer servers.
Onboard storage on cellphones is all about how much they can charge and how many they can sell. 256GB extra for $200 is about 10x higher than the $100/TB flash storage can be gotten for.

Intriguing, but I find this somewhat hard to believe.
Glu-lam isn't new technology.
If you could achieve comparable strength: weight from timber as aluminium, GFRP, or CFRP, we'd see a high timber content in aircraft, instead of near zero.
If they're making the blades heavier to compensate, you get all kinds of runaway knock on effects. Blades are heavier, so need to be stronger, so need to be heavier... tower, bearings, foundations, mountings etc all need to be stronger.
Sort of an xkcd 808 argument.
