Requires COPR repository because Microsoft repos can be versions behind. Microsoft can't keep their packages up to date in their own repo?
Well they can't on Windows, why would Linux be so much better for them?
At least with Windows, you can just go download the latest .exe or .msi installer.

What do you mean "at least"? COPR is way better than that.
That should read "At least on Linux you only need to choose COPR then you get a fully managed, up to date package rather than having to download an EXE or MSI and maintain it yourself manually like on Windows."

Pretty interesting. 802.11ax seems like a good upgrade (WiFi 4 to WiFi 5).

Microsoft (briefly) passed Apple to become the most valuable US company today
Microsoft's cloud strategy has impressed. Apple's smartphone sales? Not so much.
Microsoft reached a market capitalization of close to $813 billion today, with Apple falling only about a billion behind. Apple has fallen a long way since earlier this year, and Microsoft has also seen declines along with many other tech companies, but Microsoft's struggles have not been as pronounced, at least in terms of investor confidence.
The last time Microsoft secured this lead was in 2010. Earlier this year, Apple became the first US company to achieve a $1 trillion market cap. Amazon followed shortly after. Microsoft has still not reached that milestone, and all three are below it now, following a trying period for tech stocks.

Rival crime gangs race against each other to steal consumers' personal data.
Payment card skimming that steals consumers’ personal information from e-commerce sites has become a booming industry over the past six months, with high-profile attacks against Ticketmaster, British Airways, Newegg, and Alex Jones’ InfoWars, to name just a few. In a sign of the times, security researcher Jérôme Segura found two competing groups going head to head with each other for control of a single vulnerable site.

Details on getting running on AWS is in this good article on using AWS tools on Fedora article and over all using Fedora on the AWS arm64 EC2 is the same as x86_64.

I've never heard of her either. At least not this version. A thread of images from a Japanese illustrated history of America from 1861.
and OMG the comments...

@JaredBusch I see nothing inaccurate in those images. George Washingtonsan was Japanese, no duh
