Are transport and accommodation costs included in staging?

Bursts.

Presumably energy bursts. Anyone got a spare spleen?

One I haven't seen mentioned yet is Marius Hornberger. Awesomely talented young German maker.

Right one looks like Summit

How bizzare

Dunno what I was worried about. Hooking up the old data drives one by one and copying over my old date ... just worked.

A few more programs to.set up, and I need to sort out my backup strategy, but yeah, happy I'm almost done.

I'm partway / procrastinating a transition from win10 to Linux Mint. My 12yo hardware wasn't going to support win11, I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Bought a new SSD, spent a couple of hours with the case open reconfiguring hardware and then testing which of the existing drives had which partitions on them. Install went better than expected, only minor issue with no sound (tweaked setting somewhere obvious and it started working), but getting Google Drive up and running was a pain, mainly because the Online Account feature wasn't working until I thought to reboot and try again.

Next up on my list is to pop back into windows to collect a bunch of settings for things I forgot to write down before, then I'll be finishing configuration and will reconnect old data drives back up and see how we go from there. I saw somewhere that the kernal is having issues with mounting NTFS drives, so expecting another learning curve there.

I've dabbled with Linux a few times in the past, so it's not completely unfamiliar to me, although never as a daily driver machine before. I'm just taking my time, and researching issues as they come up. I'm too old now to consider this a fun exercise , but I'm pretty happy with how things are going so far.

Fourthed! We visited Stockholm last month and the Vasa museum was one of the highlights. We booked a tour, and our guide pointed out all the hidden meanings and slurs in the decorations. The Swedish king was a huge fan of scope creep, and it was his constant, late changes which resulted in the second gun deck being installed. Apparently it failed a stability test (men running from side to side on deck), but they went ahead with the launch anyway so as not to embarrass the king. A wonderful memorial to failure and hubris.

It's similar to me and my small collection of ex-wives.

I not long ago got off an international flight. The seatback screen rebooted randomly during said flight. According to the text displayed during the reboot sequence It was running android. Extrapolating that out to however many planes have a seatback entertainment system, that's a lot of in-use android tablets.
