As I understand them, these are accounting audits, similar (if perhaps more detail) to a SOC2. The real thing keeping CAs from being gravely insecure is the CA death penalty Google will inflict if a CA suffers a security breach that results in any kind of misissuance.
It's not just Google, but also Mozilla, Apple, and Microsoft. They all work together on shutting down bad behavior.
Apple and Microsoft mainly have power because they control Safari and Edge. Firefox is of course dying, but they still wield significant power because their trusted CA list is copied by all the major Linux distributions that run on servers.

There is an STeam goal for adoption and usage. There is a QS dashboard for SDMs to see statistics on their org's adoption and abandonment rates. There is BT guidance being propagated out to VPs and directors on how to roll out programs. As placardloop said, there was a mandatory OP1 FAQ question on GenAI usage.
I have an uplift arm and while I'm not at my desk right now, it's height adjustable and I can get it pretty close to my face (without sacrificing the height adjustment) - I have both the range and the crestview (Upgraded when I got a bigger monitor).
Is it really that clear that Google has more power here? Whom would users blame if suddenly half their pages are falsely accused of being "untrusted"? Probably the browser, not LE, right?
That's not leverage that a CA can use. If half the internet suddenly displays TLS warning interstitials, it doesn't make people mad at the CA, and it doesn't make people mad at their browser: it just _trains them to ignore such warnings_. That's a bad outcome all around, and one that a CA whose core purpose is improving security for end-users cannot condone.
Today's challenge ("Sports Teams") was particularly easy because each one was plural. That made each one "unscramble a 4 letter word" instead of a 5. Might be a consideration for the future.
Both these (sløyd /woodworking, heimekunnskap/cooking and home economics) were mandatory for everyone in Norway back in the nineties(although to be fair shop time was limited to wood, we weren't allowed to use metal lathes etc anymore), as was sewing (both with hand and machines).
I'm still thankful because of all the stuff I can relatively easy cook, fix or make thanks to those few hours in school.
(I'd also say they made for extremely welcome breaks between boring stuff in other subjects and being bullied during breaks.)
