USB-A requires three attempts to connect, C only one.

That's not at all the assertion you made.

What I haven't seen was any effective debunking that moved the needle.

Not what I've observed in the last 20 years for either side, but I guess we'll see.

They've put all their eggs in the Trump basket, with no clear line of succession. Once he is humiliated again this year, the fever will break for some, and the rest will splinter into infighting. This was their last clear path, which is why they are forcing through everything they are able while they can.

Beating them at their own dishonest game has worked much better than trying to fact check them, and getting completely outpaced, ever did.

Give it time. Soon enough he'll hire a reputation management company, shave his beard, show up for Dancing on the Stars, then SNL will put him in a sketch as Waluigi.

Even load-balancing multiple servers in a homogenous network, where patches are only deployed in phases is better (and a best practice) than what, to outside observers, appears to have been everything going down due to a mass update everywhere, all at once.

How precise is this translation?

I've also heard "From many, one", which can be taken two ways: the same celebration of the individual (presumably over other individuals), or that the many come together as one, which is a much clearer call to action.

I prefer the Voltron version.

Two big assumptions here.

First, multiple business systems are already being supported, and the OS only incidentally. Assuming double or triple IT costs is very unlikely, but feel free to post evidence to the contrary.

Second, a tight coupling between costs and prices. Anyone that's been paying attention to gouging and shrinkflation of the past few years of record profits, or the doomsaying virtually anywhere the minimum wage has increased and businesses haven't been annihilated, would know this is nonsense.
