[Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?
Ahh yes, I should maybe have posted this somewhere else now I think about it.
For me, I find the barriers to entry are quite high but if you can get a good training vid that covers the building blocks then it's easy to learn more.
School would be a good place for that initial learning.
I might be entitled to a benefit, maybe. So you better give me that benefit just in case.
Apply that same reasoning to other situations.
Give the elderly disability benefit, they may be entitled, maybe not. Do it just in case.
Or to another area: you may not need antibiotics, but just have them in case you miss out on them.
Sure, you catch everyone but it costs a lot of money.
To take this to an absurd conclusion: I a 29 year old, may be entitled to a pension. I haven't checked, or applied, but give it to me anyway, just incase I am entitled.
There is a reading order here that combines three book series that have an interwoven story. However, you can just read the main Eisenhorn books for flavour:
The Horus Heracy ( a huge number of books and multiple reading lists depending on your approach I.e. full chronological list ~400 books, main story books ~50.
Caine Books (a more lighthearted take on 40k)
Other mentions:
Watchers of the Throne
Vaults of Terra
Dawn of Fire
^These are a few Imperium heavy series. There are a ton of other faction books.
If I we're you I'd read Eisenhorn and if you like it, look at that top link. If you are hooked, look at the Horus Heracy. If you aren't hooked then try the 1st Caine book and see if it pulls you in.
Feel free to come back and ask again. There's a ton of lore out there.
Did killing Cesar at the end of Fallout New Vegas teach us nothing?
The war machine is too far along to be stopped easily.
Or if WW1 is your poison:
Initially, Wilhelm II wanted to halt the German mobilization, hoping for a peaceful resolution. However, Moltke insisted it was too late to stop the complex mobilization process once it had been set in motion. He argued that it was "like a wound-up clock" that couldn't simply be unwound. His words essentially conveyed that the mobilization machinery, once started, would continue inexorably towards war, effectively removing any possibility of reversal.
There's a link at the top of the site called "Climate crisis" and the Guardian is often accused of being too left wing.
