Wait until workers start asking for a Golden Parachute Clause.
The less you need, the more you have.
Why is there a "Highway to Hell" and only a "Stairway to Heaven"? A prediction of the expected traffic load?

The difficult we do right away...

"You can never have too much of more than you need" - mantra of the hideously wealthy.
Enron comes to mind, first.
I get some consolation in that they can never know any measure of contentment -
"Who is wealthy? He who is satisfied with his portion."

Next up Amazon, etc. A while back (pre-covid) there was a story local to me about a woman who went shopping at Target. She looked up the price of something online at home. She got to the store and pulled up the item on her phone - tada, it was 15% more. Apparently, Target dynamically adjusts prices as you get closer to the store.
Amazon does this as well. So do car dealerships (always go in looking like a homeless person).

Worried that coffee will make your heart go pitter-patter, and not in a good way? A new study puts to rest the fear that your daily fuel will cause heart palpitations -- or cardiac arrhythmia, as doctors call it. So that 10th cup didn't do anything wrong?

What's that got to do with anything? Starbucks doesn't sell coffee; it sells overpriced fru-fru drinks, which contain some caffeine.

Tell that the rest of the population... not me 
Is the same with McDonald's and you can find them in places where some other 1st necessity facilities are missing.

Absolutely anything, including 10th cigarette.

DuckDuckGo today announced its Email Protection service, which aims to protect email privacy without requiring users to switch email providers. Would you rather your email was protected by one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

I thought the email was protected by the correct horse battery staple

mmmm ... i thought Thurrot was a Windows only hypemaster ...Quote: The big hurdle, I guess, is that you’ll need to create a new @duck.com email address and then use that with all your online services. So you’ll need to go to the effort of changing the email account you use everywhere online.
Okay, give me the exclusive rights to quack@duckgogo and i'll join up.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 are vulnerable to a local elevation of privilege vulnerability after discovering that users with low privileges can access sensitive Registry database files. Fortunately, the warnings on editing the Registry should keep them all out, right?

Clearly Microsoft is clueless. It's almost as if security is being implemented by a bunch of clowns or committee, your choice.
Does anyone know if Microsoft has an internal group whose sole purpose is to penetrate their OS? Oh wait... why harden your OS when what you really need are round edges on icons.
Don't even get me started on group policy operations.
