"The Ukrainian Air Force is using iPads, or similar tablets in the cockpits of its Soviet-era jets to enable rapid integration of modern Western air-to-ground weapons"
TWZ:
The fact that the size of the tablet, attached horizontally, blocks out key instruments in the cockpit suggests that it displays a variety of flight-critical data, as well as being used for navigation.
...
it seems that the same tablet is also vital for the employment of several Western-supplied air-to-ground weapons
...
its Soviet-era fighters lack the kinds of data bus interfaces that would ensure seamless compatibility with any of these three weapons.
This is something we have discussed in the past and we also concluded that a tablet was a likely part of the solution.
Libraries have to pay an insulting premium to provide digital files
NPR:
[Seattle Public Library's collection services manager] pointed to Brittney Spears’ 2023 memoir "The Woman In Me" as a prime example of the budget challenges that e-books pose. [SPL] paid the book’s publisher $17.81 for each physical copy it bought, a few dollars cheaper than what an individual would pay in a bookstore.
Electronic copies were a totally different story. The e-book and e-audiobook are about $17 for a consumer, but the library paid more than three times that price: $64.99 for an e-book and $59.99 for a digital audiobook.
...
That price tag is only the start of the story. Publishers largely don’t allow libraries to own digital books outright — they have to license them for a set period of time or a set number of checkouts.
In the case of "The Woman In Me," each copy is only rented to the library for two years, then they have to pay again to keep using it.

And speaking of Space Marines, a good thread explaining why an all male Clone Troopers force makes sense thematically in Star Wars, and not in Warhammer 40K:
But the idea of Space Marines as power armor clad roving fascist street gangs died with Rogue Trader. The direction GW has took Space Marines over the years leans far more into high fantasy paladin crusader tropes and I don't just mean the Black Templars. pic.twitter.com/WrQ99MPyGg
