MDE plan 2 is no assurance of security. There was an incident where Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, pushed out definitions that caused the removal of many valid app shortcuts freaking users out that all of their apps were deleted. This is not an isolated incident. MDE makes sweeping changes to millions of machines that Microsoft appears to barely test at all.

I have been a passenger in a C-170 with a STOL kit that flew backwards over a beach on the Washington coast. We landed well behind where we took off. The takeoff and landing were both nearly vertical. Had a steady wind from the ocean.
You forgot to unfurl the course sails and get out and push.

Non sequitur from non-pilot: I was once in Duluth, MN in the bitter cold and watched a Cessna with skis (for landing on the frozen lakes of the Boundary Waters) land at the airport. It was the utterly bewildering to see how slowly it was going in the air. And how little distance it took to stop. Short Landing Kit I assume. I've seen ducks and geese come into land on lakes at higher speeds!
A certain STOL-modified Piper Cub barely needs a runway longer than a driveway. https://youtu.be/hPakbghLe38

The mindset of that pilot inherently dangerous and complacent. A friend of mine was a casual GA pilot in college. He was constantly practicing failure modes and making contingency plans such as engine failure at different points of takeoff and practicing stall recovery at various speeds, altitudes, bank angles, and AoAs.

This year's El Niño storms were as bad as those in the early 90's. Back then, I recall a storm where most fences were blown down and the dining room window pane glass flexed and bowed in visibly, I thought it would eventually break.
We're poised to experience a repeat of last year and supposedly a La Niña next year.

Bless her heart. I hope she gets early seating like my mom regardless of the airline's "Y2K" error.

Repeated layoffs: how to tell your other employees that you hate them and want them to leave also.
These damn investors and MBB consultants put a bug in managements' ear that costs must be cut everywhere while mindlessly sabotaging core profit centers and essential infrastructure in myriad indirect ways.

Perhaps kamikaze drones render large armor obsolete.
I pay $70 annually for Microsoft 365 (read: Microsoft Office), that's ~19 cents per day. That's practically nothing.
Commercial licenses are more expensive, but businesses will have bigger budgets to match.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: At some point you'll come off better just admitting you're a cheapskate who doesn't want to pay for software.
