That should certainly be the trigger for all governments in Europe to eliminate their dependence on MS, and, indeed, ALL US tech companies, because Apple and Google have bent the knee in other ways.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers found that a previously overlooked immune cell, known as gamma delta T-cells, can recognize, detect, AND destroy small cell lung cancer (SCLC) EVEN when it has hidden itself from the immune system, revealing a NEW immune pathway for fighting the deadliest form of the disease.

i want to eventually see the insanely long elon musk documentary, but in the interim, this short 2 paragraph nuclear bomb from @karlbode.com is about the single best description of elon ive ever seen
Quick reminder: Elon Musk is an unremarkable and virulent racist who cosplays as a supergenius engineer. He leveraged the money he lucked into at Paypal to opportunistically glom onto actual innovators and take singular credit for their work while consistently cutting corners in ways that put human lives at risk.

There's bottomless evidence he doesn't know how anything works, yet has found unsurprising financial success in a country being devoured alive by artifice.
