Interspersed with the occasional foray to the back porch, the better to put a few shells through the 12 gauge towards the cross-country skiers averting their eyes from the glare of the basement windows on Thanksgiving Eve... And blissfully somewhat out of range of #6, since Bill is too cheap to buy 00.

I believe that data centers for quite some time have been designed to automatically deactivate failed equipment but leave it in place and not replace it. It's just cheaper than sending someone to fix it and the small decrease in performance is accounted for in the design. The entire data center has a defined life dictated by technology advances. This is usually fairly short 3 to 5 years. (AI data centers are shorter).

...and it doesn't really have bugs...

Actually, it's an Office sort-of-clone, so OF COURSE it has bugs. It's Office (inspired).

Because, and read carefully, we all know only Microsoft and its lackey sycophants deliver buggy software.

Not an excuse, just a reality check. Once you get past Hello World, software gets, well, difficult. Film at 11.
