Simple fact: Meta is an antisemitic Nazi trash company. They banned many people for posting links to the HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY TRUST and have refused to reverse that blindingly antisemitic decision.

Nobody in their right mind would EVER want Zuck's Nazi Shitbag Company to have the kind of access to their life that "AI Glasses" feeding their entire life into a server would provide.

Likewise with PCI 4.0 cards in a PCI 3.0 motherboard:
[ 0.768734] [ T1] pci 0000:43:00.0: 126.016 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth, limited by 8.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link at 0000:40:03.1 (capable of 252.048 Gb/s with 16.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link)
or in a physically-x16-really-x4 slot:
[ 0.777737][ T1] pci 0000:09:00.0: 31.504 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth, limited by 8.0 GT/s PCIe x4 link at 0000:00:03.1 (capable of 126.024 Gb/s with 16.0 GT/s PCIe x8 link)

The second card has same problem as yours, when in a real x16 slot it'd use only 8 lanes despite physically having the connectors.

...and the bill will come due. The people at CISA, from the top down, have been working incredibly hard for years to get their hands around the myriad problems that we face and to make some meaningful progress on as many of them as possible. I haven't always agreed with their priorities or their analysis or their conclusions, but most of those disagreements have been minor -- and I recognize that they may have access to information that I don't.

The mass exodus of experienced talent from CISA is no doubt being greeted with cheers in Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and elsewhere. This significantly weakens the aggregate security posture of the US and it greatly impairs our ability to detect and respond to threats. I think, sadly, that it's only a matter of time until one of our adversaries decides to exploit this on a large scale, and I worry that the consequences may be dire.

Cleaning bugs off my car windshield periodically. That doesn't happen anymore because those bugs are dead and gone permanently.

I'm sure that's fine and I'm sure we can focus on important issues like woke and trans instead of part of our entire food chain collapsing... Ain't moral panics fun?

I think this is also due to cars becoming more aerodynamic for fuel efficiency. My newer cars will get bugs on the flatter areas of the front, but rarely the windshield anymore, unless it's a particularly large one that the slipstream can't get out of the way fast enough.
