The Monastery of Saint Catherine at Sinai, Egypt is the oldest active Eastern Orthodox monastery in the world, renowned for its extraordinary holdings of Byzantine art.
The location of the monastery is significant for Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The Monastery of Saint Catherine was founded between 548–565 CE, in the later years of the Byzantine emperor Justinian’s reign, part of a massive building program that he had initiated across the empire.

The oldest surviving deck of 52 playing cards (1475 AD), made in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
The concept of playing cards is thought to have originated in Asia, making its way to Europe by the late 14th Century AD, likely through trading routes.
In the Netherlands, cards became popular during 15th Century AD, as both a pastime and a means of socialization among nobility and the growing merchant class.

This reminds me of one of my favorite poker quotes:
"A split pair board is what started the Greco-Persian War."
What's stopping the UN from stopping the highest level of global conflict since ww2?
1. the veto power of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council
2. their refusal to give it up.

The issue with that approach for the desktop is everyone will just move to other OS-es.
When Microsoft does it, you live with it cuz you have no choice.
These patches do offer some benefits for cloud providers or in general orgs that host a bunch of different products on potentially the same machine.
I could see benefits in them, especially if the v3 or whatever addresses some of the issues.
Don’t known but just to be safe let me fix it already :

Mark Zuckerberg lies about content moderation to Joe Rogan’s face

This 14th Century AD, door at Exeter Cathedral, UK 🇬🇧, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap...
A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.
Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305-1467 AD, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents.
