Ah yes, skeuomorphic design, where you take something that's a physical artefact of the hardware and force-fit it onto an utterly different device on which it makes no sense whatsoever.
The ketamine must have been particularly active that day. Look at the US budget, then look at the bits you can't touch (Medicare, Social Security, income security, veterans, etc), and try and figure out where you're going to save $2 trillion on what's left.
Mind you for an administration that just makes shit up as required it's par for the course.
Maybe the news has distorted a bit after crossing the Atlantic, but waren't there substantial outrages after the bits that couldn't be touched had in fact been touched?
I grew up in a location where people always drank raw milk, not from any bizarro beliefs but because for several centuries the way you got your milk was to watch for the cows heading for the barn, then about 30 minutes later send one of the kids over with a pail to collect the milk for the day. It was still warm from the cow, you put it in your fridge or, before electricity, in the basement cool room, and there was never any problem with it. As you say though, industrialisation of the processes and it taking days, weeks, possibly months between squirted-out-of-the-cow and consumption have messed that up.
In UNIX Fourth Research Edition (v4), the su command is vulnerable to a buffer overflow due to the 'password' variable having a fixed size of 100 bytes. A local user can exploit this to gain root privileges. It is unlikely that UNIX v4 is running anywhere outside of a very small number of lab environments.
I'm currently using 4G as a backup and the Starlink Standby plan would definitely be cheaper. Only by a few dollars, but still cheaper, and unlike the cellular plan there's unlimited bandwidth while with the cell plan I'm relying on rollover data accumulating during periods of non-use to cover when it's being used.
