Just checked USAJOBS.gov . There is not a single CISA based job listed. If they are understaffed as bad as this indicates why are there no job postings at their official site for hiring? None, Zero, Zip. Seems to be this article is fake news based on a stolen, uncheckable, email.

Not really news. There has been no Cyber talent in the government for a while because it won't PAY them. When you can make 2X more going contractor, or private industry, the only people in the government are people who need the ability not to get fired to have a small chance of holding a job. There is no innovation or dedication in or civil servants. Until the government is willing to meet the wages on the outside they will be unable to attract top talent.

If you think Government workers are a meritocracy and we are losing top talent, you obviously have never looked into Federal hiring practices. They self select for the worst candidate.

If you are a Govie reading this, yes I mean you.

So this move probably improved efficiency, not hurt it.

Microsoft sucks so much at naming things. My workplace also requires Office support and it's confusing to no end. The things people want to do are office things, not microsoft things.

However, this happened years ago in in-app texts, splash screens, doc and help pages like this,

and anywhere I look

You still have the option to buy a lifetime "subscription" which costs about the same as the extra feature always cost, anyway.

If you don't buy the subscription, you didn't really buy the heated seats, either - you got them thrown in because it's simpler and cheaper for BMW to put them into all cars instead of making manufacturing more complicated. Those who buy it are the ones paying for it.

And for some, 18 per month may be cheaper than buying the traditional extra, if they only use it in January or whatever.

Actually the Greens right now are doing absolutely everything regardless of whether it's against their credos, including bringing coal plants back online. It's chiefly the companies who own and operate the nuclear plants who are against it, and sometimes with not-too-bad reasons, such as depleted fuel because they have been preparing for shutdown. New fuel rods would have to come from - you guessed it - Russia.

Here in communist Germany the public insurance pays a visit twice a year. Cleaning at my dentist costs 70 EUR, of which 50 EUR per year are reimbursed by the public insurance. Of course they don't pay everything, so I have additional private insurance for 30 EUR per month, who pick up the slack. They also pay for 2 more cleanings per year.
