While the article deals with the topic that is not funny at all, I am amused by people having somewhat ironic names:

> Plamen Tonchev, head of Bulgaria's State Agency for National Security (DANS) said he believed the fire at the Starlink facility was an act of sabotage.

"Plamen" means "Flame", when translated from most Slavic languages (incl. bulgarian) to English.

> OTOH, that phrase doesn't account for laptops.

It is also not anger-ready for people working on tablets with rubber keyboards attached.

I honestly believe we're in a dire need for a more up-to-date metaphor that lets us better express our anger at a computer, due to monitors becoming paper thin and lightweight in the past decade or so.
