One thing I find very amusing about this is that AMD used to have a reputation for pulling too much power and running hot for years (before zen and bulldozer, when they had otherwise competetive CPUs). And now intel has been struggling with this for years - while AMD increases performance and power efficiency with each generation.

Kein wirklich grosses Problem. Hier in Finnland haben wir ein Endlager im Betrieb - 400m tief in Granit gesprengt, das ist geologisch extrem stabil. Faesser werden in einzelnen Loechern mit mehreren Layern zur Sicherheit gelagert, und am Ende werden die Zugangstunnel bis an die Oberflaeche zubetoniert. Falls das spaeter ueberhaupt jemand finden sollte - ohne ordentliches Werkzeug kommt da niemand rein, und eine Zivilisation die das hat duerfte auch die Gefahr erkennen.

And for the family friendly aspect nothing after the wii beat it.

The multiplayer games there are just better than something like the switch offers, and the controllers are a good size and weight for emulating whatever they are representing in games. Stuff like tennis with the tiny light switch controllers just feels wrong.

Yeah, that'd be the Unicode ellipsis character (…) rendered on a system without a Unicode font on the terminal.

It's getting better. I recently removed a bunch of AIX and Solaris specific dotfiles/directories that haven't been of use for years.

I think that amount is way too high. Nowadays I could afford it without problems, but a few years back spending some time in hospital would've messed up my budget.

I might be fine with paying for elective procedures - but hospital stays for other reasons should be covered by healthcare.

I switched from an IBM M13 to a Tex Shinobi with box navy a few months ago. It is not as good as buckling spring, but good enough - and the more compact keyboard, full programmability and the better trackpoint make up for it.

I initially tried Cherry MX Blues, but they're horrible. Never understood the Cherry hype in the 90s, and still don't understand it now.

Ich hab das erst vor ein paar Jahren zusammengepuzzled: Ich hatte in einem Jahr nach einer Grundschulveranstaltung einen Scholoriegel bekommen - Raider. Ich hab danach viele Jahre versucht den wieder zu finden, aber ohne Erfolg.

Der Zeitrahmen passt auf die Umbenennung - von der Werbekampagne hab ich erst vor ein paar Jahren gelernt. Ich hab zwar irgenwdwann Twix entdeckt, was mich daran erinnert hat - aber ich wusste eben dass das Ding nicht Twix hiess und hab weitergesucht.

It seems they recently fucked up something with i.redd.it handling - opening image links from old reddit always redirects to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/ for a few days now.

I find it funny that a bunch of the simple basics are nowadays considered complicated. I've been doing my own mail and DNS for over two decades now, and don't see a reason for stopping. It is pretty low maintenance, and generally less headache than having someone else do it.
