Amazon almost always waves the S3 data transfer fee's as there stupidly high from the start and they already raped you on daily storage fee's anyway which is the real bread & butter money maker.

No AI didn't devalue the meaning of the word "Engineer" it was hopped up programmers 20 years ago that thought they were the equivalent of hardware engineers let alone the big "E" graduate program grads without a single math or science class to there name.
Show me a programmer that can do advanced math and I guarantee it's someone with a math degree pretending to be a programmer.

So your saying you've never even used WSL2 and your an idiot, got it.
WSL2 doesn't give you a full Linux environment it's a subset of bash commands, a 5.15 kernel and the ability to launch graphical UI's from bash.
No one is running a Linux desktop from WSL2. The most handy GUI I run is Remmina which beats the hell out of RDC.
What we do use it for is Bind9 dns commands (dig for starts), network tools, etc because our work does not allow us to run anything but Win11 and getting windows based tools installed is nearly impossible but I can install WSL2 and Windows Terminal on any machine and apt install anything I want.
Ping and Curl is for programs I'm an actual hardware Eng.

Yes mama was right your so special.
This has nothing to do with running Linux but you just couldn't help yourself.
This is about having Linux tools inside a Win10/11 work machine

I could do that before manually. What I really want is to get out of the 5.15 kernel WSL has been stuck in or let me update it myself.

Talk about idealistic.
A union is just a second CEO that's raping one of your other collective holes. They have proven they are only out for themselves and there DNC CEO.
The only way to stop that mess is by being said CEO.

Submission + - Software Update Makes HDR Content 'Unwatchable' On Roku TVs (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader writes: An update to Roku OS has resulted in colors looking washed out in HDR content viewed on Roku apps, like Disney+. Complaints started surfacing on Roku's community forum a week ago. On May 1, a company representative posted that Roku was “investigating the Disney Plus HDR content that was washed out after the recent update.” However, based on user feedback, it seems that HDR on additional Roku apps, including Apple TV+ and Netflix, are also affected. Roku’s representative has been asking users to share their experiences so that Roku can dig deeper into the problem. [...]
Roku hasn’t provided a list of affected devices, but users have named multiple TCL TV models, at least one Hisense, and one Sharp TV as being impacted. We haven't seen any reports of Roku streaming sticks being affected. One forum user claimed that plugging a Roku streaming stick into a Roku TV circumvented the problem. Forum user Squinky said the washed-out colors were only on Disney+. However, other users have reported seeing the problem across other apps, including Max and Fandango. [...] Users have noted that common troubleshooting efforts, like restarting and factory resetting their TVs and checking for software updates, haven’t fixed the problem.
The problems appear to stem from the Roku OS 14.5 update, which was issued at the end of April. According to the release notes, the update is available for all Roku TV models from 2014 on, except for models 65R648, 75R648, and 75U800GMR. Roku streaming sticks also received the update. Per Roku, the software update includes “various performance optimizations, bug fixes, and improvements to security, stability.” Other additions include a “new personalized row of content within the Live TV Guide” and upgrades to Roku OS’ daily trivia, voice control, and discovery capabilities.
