Perfect use case

Primary use case is through terminal/web interface.

Wouldn't be surprised if the touchscreen was a similar cost to a non-touchscreen at that size and they figured "might as well".

People are only mad about Pluto because it happened in their lifetime.

Prior planets include The Sun, Ceres in 1801, Pallas in 1802, Juno in 1804, Vesta in 1807, Astraea in 1845, Hebe, Iris, and Flora in 1847, Metis in 1848, and Hygiea in 1849.

The treatment was surgery. Not even weeks/months of chemo.

His treatment of "eat exclusively one type of fruit a week" IIRC almost hospitalized Kushner when he replicated it while doing the biopic.

Yeah it's nuts how it went from "These are the bad guys. This is antithetical to the point of Star Trek and the Federation." to "Secret agents in space that can just shoot 'bad' guys is cool though right?"

But if you identify it, it's not a UFO.

I just wish a single ship weren't saving the Federation/Galaxy/Multiverse every season.

It also waffles hard between "The important part of the Federation is it's ideals" and "Section 31 is pretty badass right?".

Have used Linux for decades. Switched over full time a few months ago and have generally been happy but all your points are extremely valid.

Plasma will occasionally freeze the taskbar/desktop when it wakes up or I switch back to my desktop from work laptop using a KVM, effectively connecting a monitor.

For me that's fine, manually open a terminal and kill the process so it'll restart. For all but a handful of my extended friends and family that means the computer is broken until you log off or restart. It's not a smooth experience.

It's hundreds or thousands of dollars for a small jar.

The point of NIST foodstuffs is to test industrial equipment / cleaning chemicals / etc. against a standard, not to eat. IIRC Tom Scott has a video about'm.

Maybe commercial MQTT? From the wiki it seems like mostly an intermediary protocol to get disparate things working on the same system. Their site is pure marketing garbage for explaining anything about it though.

Agreed.

They're also not materially different from Instagram or Youtube. Singling them out as "the problem" is short-sighted at best.

Had the same experience and opinion for years, they do fine on Backblaze's drive stats but don't know that I'll ever super trust them just 'cus.

That said, the current home server has a mix of drives from different manufacturers including seagate to hopefully mitigate the chances that more than one fails at a time.
