Shredders cost about the same as waste-bins, these days.

But they require maintenance, and come with higher liability (e.g. if someone gets their fingers stuck in the shredder  )
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

There's a really simple solution: a bin with a narrow opening that no-one can get their hand through.
Kind of like a post box, really.

Even more than a shredder, that makes too much sense for government usage.
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?

They should fine people who talk about themselves too much 
"Sir, have you given yourself explicit permission to share this information about yourself?"
"Uhhh... What?"
"That's what I thought, see you in court."

Microsoft today is taking the unusual step of releasing security updates for unsupported but still widely-used Windows operating systems like XP and Windows 2003, citing the discovery of a “wormable” flaw that the company says could be used to fuel a fast-moving malware threat like the WannaCry ransomware attacks of 2017. Good news for people on XP still checking Windows Update regularly

Both of them?

Adobe is warning some owners of its Creative Cloud software applications that they’re no longer allowed to use older versions of the software. And searches for GIMP go through the roof

Well, yeah. But I couldn’t think of other alternatives. I just stick with Paint.net for most things, and Gimp for weird image formats.

Microsoft is launching the first decentralized infrastructure implementation by a major tech company that is built directly on the bitcoin blockchain. Does the amount of security vary by the moment?

Microsoft is working to improve the reliability of its Azure infrastructure on multiple fronts, including via 'Project Tardigrade,' its effort to enable a cloud app to survive platform failure. In the future, our VMs will have VMs

But will it be as adorable as a tardigrade?

Not possible!

No name, specs, or other details available yet. But the screen is amazing. But all laptop screens fold. Oh, this one *unfolds* (and still works)
We know you like typing on a screen, so we made you a full-sized screen keyboard?

Microsoft's Azure Cloud talk seems boring and mundane, but it's actually where all of the action is. "I work so hard every day, with that old black cloud hanging over my head to drive my dreams away"

Over the past few years, a series of studies have come out showing that drinking coffee--in fact, drinking a lot of coffee--has significant health benefits. In fact, some suggested there could be big benefits in drinking copious amounts. A hint: if you can't hear individual heart beats, you may have gone too far

Ah, the joys of science by confirmation bias.

And exactly how big is a "cup" of coffee?
The measurement for a cup is 8 fluid ounces (~237 ml).
An American coffee cup is defined as 6 fluid ounces (177ml).
And then some marketing genius figured out that if you redefine that to 5 oz (739ml), you can get 12 cups out of a coffee maker instead of 10.
All I know is that the vessel I drink coffee out of can only be filled 4 times per pot.
