Tethering is a function of your phone, not the mobile network. They are being skinflints.

Breathless F-35 pilots to get oxygen boost via algorithm tweak

Re: Why oxygen generators?
You'd need to get rid of CO2 from the pilot anyway, no matter what system you use (except for natural air pass through). If they can design and make an oxygen concentrator that delivers the correct partial pressure of oxygen then surely they can design and make a mixing valve to do the same thing when fed from an oxygen cylinder?
I suppose that with an oxygen concentrator you don't need to refill/replace tanks and don't have capacity/duration limitations.
UK government's war on e-cigs is over

Re: No vaping in the workplace please
Oh for goodness sake! The vaping 'e-liquid' is a mixture of propylene glycol and glycerine (in various ratios) with very small quantities of nicotine and flavourings. Everybody exhales water vapour or water particles so to count those as an 'output' when you're complaining about vapers polluting the atmosphere is ridiculous. What you see and what bothers you in the 'smoke' is the cloud of propylene glycol and glycerine fog/aerosol, probably any scent/flavouring too. Vaping has nothing to do with water vapour/aerosol.

Hot HoloLens models 'shafted by Microsoft'

Re: The Las Vegas attitude...
Note that in the USA, "drinking with an underage female GI employee" could easily mean drinking with a twenty year old woman, due to the alcohol laws there.
"Microsoft is committed to a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture where everyone has the chance to succeed."
Some men think that 'the chance to succeed' applies to activities outside of work too.

US border cops search cloud accounts? Ha ha, nope, negative, no way, siree – Homeland Sec

Sighs
It seems like the safest thing to do would be to leave your 'real' phone (and laptop) at home and store everything in 'the cloud', then take a freshly wiped 'burner' phone and laptop through customs and immigration with you.
I can't think of anyone I'd trust less with my various account identities and passwords than some government functionaries. The mind boggling thing is that they can't figure out that real terrorists and criminals already do this and have encrypted data archives in obscure cloud storage accounts.

Re: Why?
"Because the contracts for the XP migration were all signed years ago before 10 was avaliable."
I'm sure that the supplier of the 'upgrade' to 8.1 had no idea and could not forsee that Win 10 would be released when it was.
Many years ago when I was involved in writing a spec for a hand held 'equipment manual reader' device, using COTS, for the military, we told the customer that details of the hardware, OS and software should not be settled until a year before delivery, for obvious reasons.
