Oh aren't you clever. No Windows boots in seconds.

Recent versions of Windows can indeed get you to the login screen pretty quickly, much of the time. But, after that, the time it takes for you to go from the login screen to a functional, usable desktop can be several minutes. Perhaps not on a home computer, I don't know... but I've seen this happen quite a bit on our work machines on those unfortunate occasions I've needed to log into a Windows computer for whatever reason (which fortunately is not a daily occurrence).

Comment It's one reason Trump's leaning into redistricting (Score 5, Insightful) 92

Project 2025 is basically a billionaire wishlist - most of its elements will actively hurt anyone who's not super-rich, and Trump and his masters know they can't really hide that fact anymore. They also know they're almost certainly gonna get hammered - in the popular vote - in next year's midterms, so they need to stack the deck. Fortunately for them, there are enough ultra-rich Republicans running a few of the more populous states - who know Project 2025 benefits them as well.

The downside (from the GOP point of view) is that even in GOP-led states, the big cities tend to lean Democrat - and redistricting alone may not be enough. So they're working towards pre-staging the Border Patrol and National Guard in as many of those cities as they can, getting ready for active voter suppression.

Comment Re:Get the permit, man. (Score 3, Funny) 138

You'd think a guy who can buy up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Kauai could, ya know, get a permit from the city.

He's worried about the ethical issues.

As in - he's worried if he does one thing ethically, it might somehow metastasize into his other endeavors.
