Real stupid take from the lemmy user. Trump lost the popular vote.

Every foreign adversary wants Trump to win because it's obvious to everyone in the world that he's going to cause the collapse of America. When America keels over, a power vacuum opens up.
People like to laugh at that quote but it's about as good of a fumble recovery as anyone could have done in that situation. Dubya was no fool, despite his "bumbling everyman" persona.
And Marcus definitely knows a few things about mental health. He's been around that block once or twice.
I turned it to Japanese voices so I didn't have to hear the god awful English voice acting and it's improved my experience a lot
I hope they add a localization patch so I can change it to something fun like Spanish or German
The Machine Spirit is (mostly) an abstraction. The AdMech as a whole is a collection of tech support geeks whose documentation and manfiles were converted to hymns 10,000 years ago. Very few members actually have any significant understanding of what they're doing anymore. They just know that if they speak the Holy Words of System Reset and then poke the button with a circle on it, the machine spirit dies and resurrects anew.
So, mostly, no, AI has been well and truly eradicated in 40k and most of what is referred to as "Machine Spirit" is just semi-basic technology being crabby like it already does in the modern day. When a modern programmer says his system is "thinking" or is "upset" he doesn't mean it literally - AdMech just forgot that language wasn't literal.
That said, there are a few suspiciously intelligent and well-informed Machine Spirits in a few places. A couple of them can outright hold a conversation.
Yes but this way you can hot swap in a fully charged battery from your carrier unit without needing to power down the vehicle. You could use both batteries in parallel, but the proposed solution minimizes charging time on any given machine by sourcing it all out to the carrier and allowing constant uptime of the target vehicle by never leaving it with two dead batteries.
The plan works perfectly. You are not in charge of the hive mind.
E-Jerry Can modular batteries
We've already established that weight isn't really an issue so let's just give it two battery racks. It runs off one battery at a time so the other one can be disconnected and changed. When the one in use runs low, throw the breaker over and either change the dead battery or keep running on the aux until that one dies too if you're in an emergency situation.
Larger vehicles with higher power requirements can scale up the number of battery racks they have and still use the universal Grunt Power Brick just in larger quantities, and you can create a battery hauler with a generator and like 40 battery slots to carry around your fresh ones and recharge your empties. That generator might be the one thing in your squadron that still runs on gasoline, supplemented with solar.
Dark Arisen just gave you most of the MTX content for free. When you start the game and pull an Eternal Ferrystone out of your bank along with all the starter armor that sells for 500k gold - yeah, that was all MTX gear.
I mean, ha ha funny joke, but realistically, yes. Someone with no money and no friends or family with money is a waste to advertise to. You fly under the radar by virtue of being a statistically bad investment. You'll still get hit with all the same shotgun-style advertisement that the rest of us do, but you're unlikely to find yourself being a priority for targeted advertisement. It's a little bit of a silver lining to an unhappy situation.
Crazy people are already committing random acts of terrorism, remember when some Trumper took out an electrical substation about a year ago and left a couple dozen thousand people without heat or power in the dead of winter? All that to shut down a drag show (supposedly).
