How do you even vote on that? I bought five shares a few years back, never voted on anything.

Don't rent out that container ship yet: CIOs and biz buyers view AI PCs with some caution
My employer recently bought Copilot subscriptions for everyone in IT to try it out and it's inability to interact with anything outside of it's own text window is really limiting what it can actually do. For example I tried to have Copilot find a picture of a cat and then send it to my cat enjoying coworker with the subject "Look at this cat". Turns out it can't include pictures and it can't send the message either.

Deplatforming hate forums doesn't work, British boffins warn
I remember when they deplatformed & debanked the neo-nazi site "The Daily Stormer" and left cryptocurrency as the only way to donate to the sites owners. That was when Bitcoin was at a few hundred dollars. They got quite the payout in 2021. Not only does deplatforming not work, it also makes neo-nazis rich.

The Moon or bust, says NASA, after successful SLS/Orion test flight
SLS is the absolute embodyment of a government program. It took decades to build an obsolete rocket with tech that was out of date when the program was started, then it wasted money for a few decades and now the only reason why it keeps going is government momentum.
Meanwhile the private sector (SpaceX) has eclipsed them in every way except for government compliance shenanigans.

Backup tech felt the need – the need for speed. And pastries and Tomb Raider
The whole prcedure seems dumb, so I get why he tried to streamline the process. Manually burning 10 DVDs and then only checking the result for errors a week later seems like a desaster waiting to happen no matter how closely the operator followed the manual. I still remember how error prone burning data to an optical medium was. From the labeling requirement I assume that they were writing a split archive on those DVDs. They were banking on burning 10 DVDs in a row with no error and then only verifying the result a week later?
This could not have been earlier than the middle of 2006, when the first Tomb Raider for PSP was released, which means USB harddrives were readily available and easily large enough to hold 10 DVDs worth of data. Just write the whole archive on one of them in one go, no errors from lasering holes in a silver disk, no split archives, no reading all 10 DVDs one after the other for a restore.
It's Guillermo's fault for modifying the procedure by himself, but it was still a garbage tier procedure.

Google's $100b bad day demo may be worth the price
How anyone could believe anything ChatGPT puts out after openAI demonstrated that they can and frequently do just manually edit and limit answers for certain topics is astonishing to me. Even more so since they don't even do it to correct factual mistakes but because of their own political believes. That the output is being actively manipulated by someone with an agenda makes the whole thing totally untrustworthy.

China reportedly bars export of homebrew Loongson chips to Russia – and everywhere else
The real reason is very likely that the chips are much much worse than advertised, most of the budget for r&d and fabs went into politicians pockets, then everyone involved lied to their superiors about how amazing the new domestic chips are. Now the Pooh Bear wants to save face by going "Y-you can't have our Intel and AMD equivalent chips! They're totally real and just as good as yous but you can't see them okay?!" in typical CCP fashion.

Re: Another plotless hack'n'slash?
If you're looking for a story driven MMORPG, you might want to give Final Fantasy XIV a try. The free trial lets you play though the base game and the first exansion which are several hundred hours of main story content and even more mostly well written side content to do.

But you're already admin!
If you have the ability to write to the steam installatio directory (owned by TrustedInstaller), then you alraedy have administrator rights.
If you aren't admin and want to boot into another OS to write your files there, you could also just blank the password of the Administrator account.
