Microsoft tries its best to force you to use Edge to open a pdf. If I have Adobe Reader set as my default pdf reader, that should be the end of it. Nope. Certain updates have reverted to using Edge so I, and others at my place of work, have to go in and reset the default.

Once someone has something set as their default, it should never be tampered with unless it's done by the user.

Pro-Kremlin bloggers are warning that Russia's centralized digital economy could collapse

While out working around the yard, this exact thought came to me. When you have a centralized economy, such as in Russia with Putin calling all the shots, any large scale interruption to any part of that centralization will have an outside effect. As this article relates, Yandex has its paws in everything. And what happens when Yandex goes down?

This entire invasion has been a fiasco on the Russian side from day one. I was truly astounded at how inept they were in the first month of their invasion, and that astounding has only increased over the past four years. A German officer wrote a book and toward the back of the book he outlined several things the Germans learned very quickly about Russian military doctrine. One of those items was that they would repeatedly throw men at the problem unitl either they succeeded or they exhausted their pool of men.

That was 80+ years ago and they still haven't changed. They learned nothing over the decades and this data center pummeling is another example of them not being able to think more than a day ahead.
