NEVER start a sentence off "Fossil discovered beyond Pluto ..." .. Do you realize all the things that start spinning up in a brain when a sentence starts like that?

Is there a page somewhere that explains why they're special besides using a weird desktop I'm not going to use? I went so far as to read press releases and still couldn't find any explanation of why yet another distro.

This sure is worth having a deep discussion about. Let's keep this thread going! Our corporate masters will be pleased.

It's possible. Just do an image search on aliexpress.

Exactly. Every year they fail to explain big amounts of money with lots of digits before the decimal place. We should cut their budget specifically by those amounts until they learn to pass an audit. Then we can look at how much money they need to continue operation.

It seems likely to be caused by vibration, so we could deploy a collection tent and play the seafloor some thumpin' bass.

You have choices. There are desktop keyboards with a very broad range of pressure and keystroke specs, and then there are also mechanical keyboards with swappable keyswitches where you can choose your own specs. They come in both standard and low-profile, low-travel variants. Standard keyswitches seem to have total travel between 4mm and about 3mm, with actuation points anywhere from 2mm to 3mm, and the force varies a lot as well.

I am currently running outemu silent peach switches. I have two boards using silent peach v1 and am about to try silent peach v3s for a new 75% layout keyboard. All versions of these switches are linear and damped for nosie reduction. They also all have 3.3mm travel, the actuation is at about 2mm, and they are factory lubricated so they are very smooth. I have tried Kailh, Outemu, Reddragon, and Cherry switches and so far I like Outemu the best, but I haven't tried lubing genuine Cherry branded switches yet.

I owned an Acer Aspire. It was almost $300 with a single-core Atom and a 10 widescreen display. Some years later I bought the first new laptop in a bunch of years. It was $300 with a 2C2T AMD processor (Zen/Raven Ridge) and a 15" widescreen display.

Netbooks existed because people wanted a cheaper laptop, and they went away because the parts got cheaper and you could get a laptop with actually decent specs for a low price.

I do, too. They should start by cutting the defense budget every year by the amount by which they could not pass the prior year's audit.

Yeah his political views were pretty fashy all-around.

We wouldn't have the Wright Brothers, if Otto Lilienthal didn't exist.

I don't even want rounded corners. I like sharp windows.

What a typical waste of time.

The Amiga was a dead end. It was awesome for its time and I owned many of them, but the cool stuff you could do with the OS was in many cases predicated on a lack of memory protection and this was also a major drawback. It was good that you could reboot quickly, because it was frequently necessary. The custom chips were however death to backwards compatibility, and the more they were used, the harder it was to update existing software for a new chipset.

PCs started to do the things Amiga did even at the time, for example there were accelerated graphics cards even for Windows 3.1 that would accelerate drawing operations and do bitblits, and the GUS Max would offload some audio processing from the CPU.

The commenter clearly seemed to think the world was going to be supremely unfair to the CEO (turns out 'exec' is ambiguous, as the man, his wife, the mistress, and the mistress' husband are all executives one place or another). You said the exec deserves to lose because of his actions, which seems to be inconsistent. The commenter's stance is based on his blatant assumption that the wife was not earning money and the mistress was just some gold digger, and that even if the wife wasn't earning money, that if the split happens it's unfair for her to get a cut of the CEOs wealth that he earned.

The assertions of misogyny are because he filled in the gaps he didn't know with assumptions consistent with negative stereotypes of women in these situations. He jumped right to the fiction of the struggling man paying huge alimony to some indolent ex-wife living a life of luxury. That the mistress was only in it for gold
digging.

You seem to have just been hit with the headlines and manufactured a scenario where he is a rich guy married to a stay at home wife, with a gold digging mistress.

My spouse was interested enough to bother to dig in and the reality is that the CEO, the wife, the mistress, and the mistress' husband are all four rich with income, so alimony is likely not even a factor. Similarly, the assets being split is unlikely to be lopsided.

From what I've seen in actual life, that all seems to be a rich person trope, and an exaggeration. Those I've known with modest lifestyles that get divorced seem not to have encountered a whole lot of financial duress due to that (maybe child support, but not the wife). I was at a business lunch where three people started bemoaning this as if it were true, that their former spouses are just draining them of all their cash. However, one of them had just been talking about his brand new BMW M5 that his 'lame' former wife would never let him buy and another chimed in with the same experience, albeit with a more humble Kia Stinger. Broadly they all seemed to be doing quite well and the wife would have otherwise been stuck high and dry largely at their "man of their house" mindset that didn't have her earn an income, which is fine, but expect them to be able to use some of your income even after the relationship falls apart.
