The way prospective Ferrari buyers let the brand treat them has always amused me. Then Porsche got in on the act with its higher-end 911 variants. And now BMW. It's like there are marketing psychologists somewhere who figured out these people have zero self-respect and will pay for the privilege of being treated like shit.
Haido verbally instructed the employee to delete the files after the screening
Or just, I don't know, return the drive??
Pavan Davuluri, EVP of Windows and devices at Microsoft, said this week: "We've connected with the team at LG and as an immediate next step, they have agreed to disable the McAfee pop-up from their app. We appreciate LG working with us toward a shared goal of a better experience for our mutual customers. We will keep improving here with our ecosystem partners."
Microsoft, you have a culture problem. Either take this seriously or STFU. Perhaps LG was inspired by how Windows has become a user hostile environment.
Off topic, but Pavan Davuluri is the same guy who wants Windows to evolve into an agentic OS.

Make a generous donation towards one of his damn vanity projects and this goes away.
If they were to ease off the gas pedal just a bit, they could probably do a boil-the-frog and get a larger number of smaller/less-obtrusive data centers built over a longer time period, and without the voter revolts and strict legislation that are likely to hobble them now.
The fire hose of cash is on full blast. Spend it as fast as you can-- no time for clever scheming.
We are not operating from a rational perspective here, its just pure malice.
It's called "making a buck and owning the libs"; the sadistic ideology that got Trump re-elected. Trump supporters are like having an abusive, self-destructive alcoholic in the family. However, instead of pleading with ONE to get help, there are MILLIONS of these people.
Capitalism is inherently sociopathic, no? And CEO is the top profession that attracts psychopaths*. I think what's happening in society is that the people at the top no longer pretend to care. And my concern (particularly since the last presidential election) is that we're normalizing this behavior.

The idiocy of MAGA is causing the pendulum to violently swing the other way. I'm all in favor of closing tax loopholes and increasing the amount of taxable wealth, but "one-time" money grabs via direct democracy sounds like an idea of a desperate and angry mob.
As someone who grew-up in a conservative household and listened to conservative talk radio, the point is this: owning the libs. It's ideological sadism-- deriving pleasure from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others as a means of upholding or enforcing a specific belief system, ideology, or social structure. That's the whole point of Trump. That's why he keeps "winning". How else would a crude, pathological liar, insurrectionist, and unrepentant felon get re-elected? He makes people like you miserable. Not only that, Trump proves Niccolo Machiavelli was right. 500 years ago he observed an uncomfortable truth about human psychology and power dynamics that organizational psychologists have since confirmed: malignant narcissism, not competence, is often the strongest predictor of who emerges as a leader.
Personally, I suspect American civilization peaked ~10 years ago. Trump's first term should have been a one and done, but here we are. Democrats may win the upcoming mid-terms and next presidency, but I wouldn't be surprised if the successor of MAGA finds a bigger, more evil idiot. They can't help themselves. It's pathological.
The past 30-days have been unusually cold and windy in my state, and people are getting their electric bills and freaking out. Social media is full of surprised people wanting to sue the power company for being "greedy".. lol. Not sure what they were expecting-- we were warned our bills would be higher in 2026 because of the influx of new data centers.
HDMI 2.2 allows 4K@240Hz (uncompressed). Gamers will appreciate it.
Microsoft's culture problem has only gotten worse. There's an uncanny desperation in their behavior that turns people off and they don't know how to stop.
Donald J. Trump isn't a complete idiot. He successfully ran The Apprentice. The man is turning real life into an absurd reality TV production-- a show the world cannot ignore. This altered photo is red meat for his crude, gullible audience who feel zero shame in acting on their authoritarian tendencies.
Regular Monitors don't have HDCP support without being a smartTV.
These days I would be surprised if any standard monitor lacks HDCP support over HDMI and DisplayPort. It's in most specs I see and I don't buy smart monitors.
You will have a head crash on your private pack.
