I don’t think the shuttle is a good example at all.

The reusability was just marketing shtick so a large enough vehicle could be built to launch multiple Hubble-chassis Keyhole satellites for the NSA. (It’s probably more accurate to say the Hubble is built on a Keyhole satellite chassis).

In a way, the FBI did, but your point about click bait is still valid.

By compromising the Command-and-Control server of the malware, they were able to have it direct clients to uninstall.

This does make me think about meanings of such things in today’s deeply-interconnected world. For example, when a corporate admin tells their software management system to install/uninstall apps from machines, isn’t that the same thing? (A bit rhetorical, more of something to think about, since I don’t have a good answer to this).

Only office? Hahaha. Only if you never have to share a document.

Were you born in a barn!?

Password(s)

If not already using one, get a password manager like Bitwarden or KeePass (not LastPass).

Enable 2FA on all accounts where you can.

I keep a spreadsheet of accounts and their 2FA config (how the 2FA is setup, email, SMS, whatever, and which account it uses).

Wow, brilliant idea. Would take a while to learn to use.

99% of the time, unless there’s something I’m convinced I can only get there and I really need it.

I stopped buying games after COD something, the last multilayer where you could host your own server.

And depending on the OS on the other end:

Windows - SyncTrayzor

Android - Syncthing-Fork

iOS - Möbius

Linux - Syncthing

Syncthing is just such a great sync tool. Best alternative to it is Resilio Sync. They each have their pros/cons.

God I hate compressed file support in explorer.

I even disable zip support. Let me use my own app for that.

will depend more on whether Ryobi kills off the USB Lithium line like they did the Tek4 line.

This is where learning how to rebuild your own batteries cones in. Nearly all of them use multiple 18650 batteries, which cost about $2 each online.

I’ve rebuilt a few for my power tools. Larger ones cost about $10-$15 to rebuild. And newer batteries have greater capacity too.
