Oh.

Moving down the stack, Unix systems have never been big on supporting arbitrary drivers: remember that Unix systems were typically coupled to specific machines and vendors. NT, on the other hand, intended to be an OS for “any” machine and was sold by a software company, so supporting drivers written by others was critical. As a result, NT came with the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), an abstraction to support network card drivers with ease. To this day, manufacturer-supplied drivers are just not a thing on Linux, which leads to interesting contraptions like the ndiswrapper, a very popular shim in the early 2000s to be able to reuse Windows drivers for WiFi cards on Linux.

But I also get why the IRS doesn't want to walk up to Congress right now, hat in hand, and say "We spent more money prosecuting them than we gained" or anything close to that, and give the GOP ammo for defunding them again.

Actual outlays for enforcement. Outlays for enforcement activities in 2023 were less than projected. Most of the expenditures from the enforcement account stem from labor costs, and through 2023, the IRS hired fewer revenue agents (the enforcement staff who handle complex audits) than it had planned. That shortfall suggests that the IRS has encountered greater difficulty in hiring auditors than it anticipated. CBO expects that the IRS will be able to use all the mandatory funding that it designated for hiring in later years, but because of the delays in hiring and training new auditors, revenue collections from enforcement activities are smaller in CBO’s February 2024 projections than they were in its previous projections.

I hate that this takes up space in my brain

Besides the fact that present-day battery technology makes this impossible, modern smartphones display a very obvious indicator when apps are using the microphone.

Hotword detection notwithstanding, as that happens at the hardware level.

You aren't being downvoted "simply for bringing up points that might happen to not fit the hive mind mentality." You're being downvoted for making up a contrived excuse that was easily disproven by the fucking thumbnail, let alone the article, for your own titillation.
