The real reason is cost/staff cutting and not reviewing the strike plans;

"Hegseth dismantled most of the Pentagon’s civilian harm mitigation, or CHM, units — cutting headcount across a number of teams by roughly 90% to fewer than 20 staff members, people with direct knowledge of the matter said. Centcom’s team was reduced from 10 to 1.

No CHM team member reviewed the Minab site before the strike, according to officials involved in the internal investigation. That was a consequence of the cuts in staffing but also a decision not to involve the group in planning and operations..."

1.5C which was for a long time the figure we hoped we could stay under, it would still be a big rise, but one that would not be a total catastrophe. most scientists are now hoping we can stay under 2.0C, but most of them expect we'll reach 2.3C. 2.0C is only still possible if the whole planet acts now, but that's not happening, so...

it could, but it wont.

windows should be free, because all the privacy and ads invading things it includes. if linux can be free, i'm sure microsoft can do the same.

it always puzzles me, when companies in trouble, cook up strategies to get back on top by making things worse for their customers. when has that ever worked?

but, any movie is available on pirated sites, even without stealing drives, still movies are being played at theatres...

MS just can't learn from their past mistakes, how many times have they been bitten in the past by just letting application run/install automatically when plugging in devices, media, visiting websites, clicking (non-application) applications?
