They may have been stuck in a forced upgrade to Windows 10, and were in the process of rebooting when the collisions occurred. Could Microsoft have ignored the Navy's desires not to upgrade to Windows 10, i.e., taken the Navy's dismissal as an OK to do so?

They have the basic backups, and also cloud storage options.
It seems to met most, if not all, of your criteria.
It seems that Sonos is intentionally disabling a device after the sale. Sadly, I expect to see more of this type of ransom demands from manufacturers, not less.
... cable companies have not prevented competition...
You have obviously missed the court cases and the purchased laws that appear to prevent competition in the footprint of many established cable companies franchises.
So long as the wireless vendors continue to stick it to their customers with artificial constrainst and service downgrades, wireless is not going to be the replacement for fixed-line Internet access that many have been predicting.
Plex is starting down a slippery slope. I liked to use Plex precisely because I could opt out of the data collection. Oh well, it was a good run while it lasted.
It is exactly as "duh" as I think it is. If the cost of human labor rises, other types of labor may become more cost effective. That is what I said, and it still holds true. Where you went off the rails is to extrapolate my comment with your opinion that less cost effective human labor results in the loss of human jobs.
... Thurrott.com: Microsoft, I'm told, fabricated the story about Intel being at fault....
It appears that Microsoft is just as trustworthy as they have been in the past, i.e., not very trustworthy. This is the company that wants me to install Windows 10, apparently for the main purpose of harvesting personal data from my computer. Would you trust Microsoft with your personal data?
You clearly have only read the mischaracterization of his paper, and not the paper itself.
I did read the entire essay. I think it is funny that you are so sure I had not read it. Now you may think that I may have misinterpreted it, or misread it, but you cannot say definitely, as you did, that I did not read it.

It is a shame he still seems to be unable to comprehend why he was fired. As an Engineer he should know that the has to identify a problem in order to fix it. Unless he recognizes what the problem really is, then he will just continue spinning in place, looking more and more foolish.
... I suspect the majority of the issues can be traced to the Skylake CPUs in the Surface Pro 4. The issues with that generation CPU in mobile are pretty well known...
Microsoft was the one who put those CPUs into the Surface. I didn't, you didn't and Intel didn't. So you seem to be saying that Microsoft knowingly put a CPU into the Surface that had known reliability issues, without doing any QA testing of those CPUs before using them. Wow, that sounds even worse than I had thought.
I guess with the Surface, now that they have full control of the hardware, they can't blame anyone besides themselves for problems the user faces. All the drivers, hardware must have been fully tested by Microsoft's most capable QA team (what's left of it) before the Surface leaves the factory. So what could possibly go wrong?
It almost seems similar to everyone (OK, a lot of people) losing their ability to do mental arithmetic when calculators became popular. Crutches, that's all they are.
Buying batteries on Amazon seems to be more or less a crap-shoot. Looking at the comments, there seems to be a lot of knock-off, e.g., Duracell, batteries being sold and Amazon doesn't seem to care about it. Maybe Amazon has looked the other way to make room from their own brand of batteries, or maybe they really just don't care , so long as the sale goes through. Who knows? But I'll never buy batteries on Amazon.

It is amazing that we have developed as a civilization in the days before all this privacy-busting data collection.

... honestly if I've lost my primaries, AND my backups I'll be thrilled to pay $20/TB to retrieve them!...
They also have the option to copy the file(s) to a drive or thumbdrive and ship to you.

Obviously his work was not something that he cared about since he had no backups. So I do not see why he is complaining.

They've searched the current search area and found nothing. The next step is to start looking in a different search area.
Not as duh as you think it is.

They had to look through 35 years of data to come up with that conclusion?

He has so much to benefit for not understanding why he was fired.
That's where my thinking is going for now. It may be better for him to play the part of the victim.

From the earliest days of Apple, I had always thought that Apple was more about Icons than Text. What has changed?

I'm not saying don't use 'em. I am saying, try to keep the skills you may otherwise lose if you *only* use 'em.
