It's deeply embarrassing and outright confusing why the Army would spend such a large amount of money on Windows Server licenses. 1200 licenses is a LOT of licenses for what I could assume would be just some random computers or more padding to justify corruption and bribes or other stuff they blow their budget on.

It's quite stupid that Romania does not have a PROPER push for IT and digitization, or even just infrastructure and website modernization. Most of the government and agency websites look worse than something made in the 90s, they're mobile-unfriendly, dated and are so inconsistent. I could probably count on my fingers how many of these have some basic 3rd party-provided accessibility feature.

We're just spending absurd amounts of money on useless shit, IT projects filled with nonsense and cool promises that won't ever happen or get delayed indefinitely.

Well, for anyone out there wondering what did the #RoArmy do when first alerted about a #drone crashing in the woods on the #Romanian shore of the #Danube:

A couple of soldiers shown up in an Army SUV, walked away for around 20 meters, found nothing and returned. That's it. That's the investigation they did.

The #mayor of #Ceatalchioi - the village where the #drone was found - said that he's been alerting the authorities for a full month already. He was the one who eventually found the #drone wreckage.

Thank God there are still competent people somewhere despite not where needed.

Now the government said that #RO-ALERT emergency notifications will be sent to people's smartphones whenever attacks start on #Ukrainian Danube ports. That's very helpful for everyone living in the villages of #Ceatalchioi #Plauru and others on the shore of the Danube River, only 200 m away from these ports, who lies below poverty and mainly does agriculture and fishing to sustain themselves (which is roughly ~100% of the residents). I still wonder what's the solution if these drones fall on their houses or for those people that are poor and don't have a smartphone. But we're slowly getting there. 👍
