Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Since I've adopted PowerToys -> PowerToys Run and set a shortcut to open it with "Super (windows key) + Space" I don't know what a start menu is.

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I've enjoyed Mark Rober's videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn't sitting right with me...

If you take a look into the fitness bubble on YouTube you will see military propaganda too.
They're often competing against real soldiers/SEALS/whatever to demonstrate how well prepared they're are in the case of war.
Back in the subject of engineering, William Osman was also sponsored by the Navy (I think) one time.

Now that you mentioned public transportation the US will never agree to the project

I know a guy that very was vocal against street lights in the 90's.

He was/is an amateur astronomer that modified his rooftop to be an actual telescope and the street lamps were angled in a certain way that like 40% of the light produced by them was shinning to the sky, making his observations harder to perform.

He went to my school to warn about light pollution and also teach us about planets and all that good stuff.

I think he became frustrated and quitted because last time I saw anything about him he was all about rescuing dogs from the street. :/
