Windows has that button, but only if you right-click the drive in file explorer and select “eject”. The dialog is very similar, but has the option to continue anyways. That option doesn’t appear when ejecting from the taskbar.
Which is weird, because it means that Microsoft went out of their way to make two different, almost identical dialogs. And they made the better one harder to reach.
My university used Artemis to do basically what you’re describing. Files are uploaded via git. But it seems like selfhosting would be a lot of work.
He proposes the cloud be owned by communities, so in a way by everyone. That’s not the same everything being owned by private companies.
I mean, I don’t like AI. But leaving in debugging messages can easily happen without AI, too.
This seems to be an engineering sample CPU. Since these are pre-production, that could mean it’s basically a fully functional CPU. It could also have serious issues.

HiPER Calc Pro. A great scientific calculator I use constantly. (There is also a unpaid, ad-supported version, and the ads weren’t too intrusive the last time I tried it)
My router is called Jupiter, everything connected to it is named after a moon. Callisto, Ganymede, Thelxinoe, Kallichore are what I’m currently using.
You can host a Firefox sync server yourself. You could run that on something like a Raspberry Pi in your local network. If you need remote access, use something like cloudflare tunnels (although I guess that’s something else to be paranoid about).
Windows is clearly superior. If you’ve had enough of the settings app, you can just switch to the control center!

That’s why I don’t let every device decide individually. I know my router (FritzBox) prioritizes the pi-hole (it’s even called “preferred” and “alternative” DNS-Server in the UI)
I have my pi-hole setup as the upstream DNS in my router, with cloudflare as a secondary DNS. That way, all my devices always use the router for DNS (since that’s what is advertised in my DHCP) and the router then uses pi-hole if it’s available, or cloudflare if it isn’t. But the individual device doesn’t get to choose between different servers.
I’m guessing it’s about documenting the assembly of safety-critical components. If some part of, let’s say an airplane fails because a bolt comes loose, the manufacturer wants to have a paper trail attached to it to prove that this specific bolt was indeed torqued to the correct spec. Connecting the wrench to the network could make this documentation much easier.
Matlab
A guy walk into a bar and pulls out a scale model of a grand piano, as well as a wooden puppet. The puppet immediately animates and starts playing the piano.
After a perfect performance of Mozart’s piano sonata No.11, the puppet gets up, bows to the audience and falls lifeless to the ground. Everyone is astounded.
The bartender asks the guy: “That was great! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get a puppet like this?”
The guy hands him an old golden oil lamp. “You see, I found this lamp. If you rub it and say what you want, a genie pops out and grants the wish. Give it a try, if you want!”
The bartender is sceptical, but tries anyway. “I wish for a million bucks!” Immediately the bar is filled with a giant flock of ducks. On the tables, on the bar, on the ground, ducks are everywhere.
“What the fuck?! That’s not what I asked for!”
The guy chuckles. “O yeah, the genie is hard of hearing. Did you really think I asked for an eight inch pianist?”
