Affected PCs weren’t able to upgrade this time, but it’s the second in less than a year that Microsoft has made this mistake. Did it include coupons to get a new computer?

Maybe it is a tacticc of the marketing dept.
Let's elephant users out with an update that ends in error, all the people that can't restore easily will get pissed off and they might end buying a new hardware to avoid it failing the next time we have the "mistake".

As if KMS hasn't been turned inside out like a sock many, many times. Why bother with an upgrade when you can have a fresh install for free?

How did our industry sink to disrespect developers so badly, and how can we change the narrative? When you care enough to compile the very best

Mmmm... I don't think disrespect has to do with being a dev or not.
I might have been hated, but I was mostly respected by all the people I had to work with. Of course there were exceptions, but those guys were anyways lost cases.

Anyone (publicly) disrespects me: they are a pebble in my shoe ... I will shake my shoe out, or, if necessary, burn the shoe, and put on another shoe ... or, go barefoot.
Someone who shows me my technical limitations with positive intent, reveals my errors, reminds me how outdated and limited my skill set is (an outcome of life choices I made) in the last 15 years ...
If I react by feeling disrespected: that's in my head, my ego, not my shoe.
The real-world scenarios I have witnessed in software development include:
1) someone getting hired who turned out to be incapable of becoming productive in a busy team
2) old timers resistant to change as a fresh crop of managers, programmers, came in and new goals and strategies put in place.

Google was one of the companies to require employees to return to the office. Now they don't have sufficient office space. Karma strikes again.

It learns from military strategists or by playing against itself but trails behind top human strategists in unit coordination and weapons use "Wouldn't you prefer a good game of chess?"

Seeing as how we are paying for it rather than keeping people from going bankrupt from medical expenses, I'm already regretting it.

It's all right - when it gets to that stage, there'll be nobody left to regret it.

The developers will write the code skynet uses to exterminate us all.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
