Brentyl writes: According to this article from NPR, the Trump administration intends to buy $400 million worth of armored electric vehicles.

An early version of the official statement specified that the vehicles would be Teslas, until the statement was edited to remove the specific brand.

Critics point to the obvious apparent conflict of interest, with Elon Musk having a prominent role in the Trump administration.

Submission + - Windows: What Do I Need to Know? 2

Brentyl writes: Hello /. readers. Long-time Mac user here, faced with a challenge: Our 14-year-old wants a Windows laptop. He will use it for school and life, but the primary reason he wants Windows instead of a MacBook is gaming.

I don't need a recommendation on which laptop to buy, but I do need a Windows survival kit. What does a fairly savvy fellow, who is a complete Windows neophyte, need to know? Is the AV/firewall in Windows 10 Home sufficient? Are there must-have utilities or programs I need to get? When connecting to my home network, I need to make sure I ____? And so on.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
