I thought google implemented a captcha that looks at your browsing and usage history to determine if you're a bot or not. There isn't any picture-picking or wobbly word typing involved.
What kind of power do they use? 110v AC? Now would be a great time to convert to something more energy efficient. I'm sure the Tesla PowerWalls take solar, store the power in a battery, then convert it to 110AC so it can just be converted back to 5V/12V DC in the power supplies of all the equipment that needs power.
It's the integral component to your cell phone, wi-fi, and your garage door opener. You really should know this unless you want to start running wires to all those things.
Commonly, in TOS and TNG anyway, there was a lesson to be learned from each episode. For example, "Let that be your last battlefield" was a commentary on race, in TNG, "The measure of a man" was commenting on what is consciousness, and slavery. In Discovery, I don't detect any of those lessons.
I first encountered PC-MOS in 1991 or so. I was repairing a computer for a customer and it was installed on his machine. I asked him what it was, and he said "it's a multi-user Disk Operating system."
"How would that work?" I wondered. There is only one keyboard and one monitor.
The "Genius" (heh, yeah, right) shows his complete lack of understanding on how something as simple as a switch works. Hell, there aren't even any active components in it. It's just 2 conductive surfaces coming into contact. A crumb might prevent that altogether, or make it so that you would have to press harder in order to get your character. Getting *TWO* characters sounds to me like a cracked trace. This used to happen on heavily used mouse buttons. When you press down on the button lightly, it closes the switch. If you keep pressing and increase the force slightly, it flexes the PCB which expands the crack enough to break the current flow. Then, as you release the pressure, it reconnects again until you completely disengage the switch.
Either way, the solution is simple: REPLACE THE KEYBOARD!
Also, what they hell kind of "diagnostic" are they running that displays a progress bar in a non-interactive way? If there is a problem with the keyboard, you need to interact with it to test it!
What's the sentence for breaking that law? Fine? Community Service? Make it a mandatory 5 years of imprisonment, and I'll bet behaviors will change.
Here in our state, there are often road signs that say "Fines double in work zones". Perhaps the same should be applied to all traffic incidents when a cell phone is being used.

I would seriously like to see the person who climbs a tree to poop on an apple.

Tesla just fired a few hundred employees before they donated the equipment. Maybe so they could AFFORD the donation.

In other news, Amazon reports that shipments of paperback books to Hawaii have increased by 80%.
Because Mount Macintosh is getting kinda high...

"You know what I really want? I *REALLY* want my current biological dog to control my appliances." said no one ever.

Bacon! It's good for you!

Oh, man! Didn't you hear? Everyone on slashdot hates the new Star Trek and refuses to watch it. I'm sorry you wasted your time.
A replacement keyboard would have cost you about $15. Now do you think that the increased purchase price was worth it?
What's a Vungle? Alternatively, What's a Zain? When did the news become a bunch of made-up words?
If $50 isn't worth protecting, then give me $50.
European gas stations don't accept cash?

Hell! I'll eat any cupcake. I don't care what color it is!
It's probably just as well. If you want to track your calories burned, just install Google Fit.

It's totally time for a Scorpions comeback tour!
Would you rather that the exploits are named like Star Wars droids? K2SO? BB8? IG-88? Gonk?
The following are also scheduled to be phased out over the next 20 years:
-Steering Wheels
-Power/Light Switches
-Doorknobs
-Spoons
So about 100 people will be using brain implants, and the remaining 7 billion will have keyboards.
