Any rollout like this has a few percent of units assigned for RMA purposes. It’s absolutely normal to have some hardware failures and replacing them is expected beforehand.

As far as McConnell is concerned, I feel like for a long time now even though the lights are on there is nobody home. When he froze up during that press conference in 2023 it was hard to look at. The man was confused, scared and looked like he wanted to cry but forgot how to do so. I absolutely hate the man, but in my book nobody deserves something like that. But still they prop him up, instead of sending him off on retirement, they keep his walking corpse around to keep the power. I’m not sure if McConnell himself is aware of what is happening, or even wants to be part of it. I wouldn’t put it past the old bastard for sure. But at this point his judgement is clearly impaired and keeping him working is elder abuse IMHO.

Perfect how they are talking about child rape and the victim defending their selves by biting the penis. But let’s sensor the word bitch, the readers would be shocked and outraged if they read such a foul word. Wtf is wrong with people these days…

Well when they said the Pentagon was using AI to help coordinate the attacks on Iran, I simply assumed it was some expert system with a machine learning component. But no, it turns out they were using Grok, an actual LLM chatbot. Which is fucking crazy.

So sometimes the assumption goes the other way as well.
