If bird flu takes off it could be billions, and tens or hundreds of millions in the USA. But at least they didn't trust that old woke left extremist "science" stuff. And their Jesus will greet them in heaven with a big "WTF???"

They cancelled the testing because it's not tested enough. MAGA brainworm logic will literally be the death of us all.
Well given that it's driven by an unholy alliance of end-times evangelicals, survival-of-the-fittest white supremacist techbro eugenicists and brainwormed health and fitness nuts, that could actually be their conscious plan. Of course they assume they're the superior ones who will survive.
I have a very feeble 25-year-old computer running Windows 2000 on a low-wattage CPU for embedded systems, and it feels far more responsive than Windows 11 on my desktop with an AMD 5950x. And I dual-boot Linux, which also feels much faster than Windows 11.
So, what I'm hearing you say is that MS should jam Copilot into every single app and every corner of the OS, to turn ordinary actions into LLM-driven ones? Because that's what the users and the planet are clamouring for.
For personal use? I never do anything that would qualify as "auditing" the code. I might glance at it, but mostly out of curiosity. If I'm contributing then I'll get to know the code as much as is needed for the thing I'm contributing, but still far from a proper audit. I think the idea that the open-source community is keeping a close eye on each other's code is a bit of a myth. No one has the time, unless someone has the money to pay for an audit.
I don't know whether corporations audit the open-source code they use, but in my experience it would be pretty hard to convince the typical executive that this is something worth investing in, like cybersecurity in general. They'd rather wait until disaster strikes then pay more.
Don't forget idiots. They played an important part too.
Microsoft always has 20 variants of the same name for maximal confusion. It's deep in their culture.
It's amazing that only one person is known to be missing after that. That's some good disaster preparation.
It still hurts the whole world if there is a reservoir of 340 million unvaccinated Americans for the virus to infect and mutate in. Though if this thing gets going that number would rapidly come down, but not in a good way.
Republicans have cancelled the government-funded monitoring, vaccine research, disaster preparation and disaster response capacity. It is the absolute most stupid, short-sighted and self-destructive thing a government could do when all the signs are that this is ready to go pandemic at any moment, and potentially be the deadliest thing humanity has experienced in centuries, or, in fact, ever.
Hmm, if only Americans were capable of joining the dots between the issues they care about and the politicians they vote for.
