Using that thing with a 0.4mm nozzle... God imagine the print time when utilizing all that volume...

For context, I answered this after your edit. First, I don't know how to add another context menu on a file manager, but I imagine if there is a way to do that, there is a command to be run when doing it. Hence, what I will answer is only the command.

For editing a file, you absolutely don't need to open the editor as root. You can however, make a temporary copy of a file that your own user has access to, edit those temporary files, and when you are done editing it just replace the old file. This is what sudoedit FILE does.

Secondly, for manipulating a file, I agree with the other commenter that it still is a bad practice to run the file manager as root. Instead, try to add a context menu for taking ownership of a file/folder recursively. chown does exactly that. Of course chown won't save you if that file is a network mount with some form of other access control.

Third and last, yes I agree that if a user wanted to nuke their installation it is their right to do so. However, do remember that this is also a forum and that we always remind each other the best practice since maybe another user will stumble upon this and think "oh, this is how it is in Linux". We do not have the equivalent of "Run as Administrator" here in linux as that would mess up a lot of assumptions for other programs and easily make the system unstable or outright unusable.

IF this virus mutates and becomes a pandemic, at least now we know who to blame.

Program documentation first, Arch Wiki second, Gentoo third, surfing the web as a last resort, then ask the forum in the same order. The problem is that there is no universal way to log stuff to so I can't really point out where to look.

What if a ghost is affected by gravity but not other "fundamental" force in the standard model? This will raise a lot of interesting questions. Is... ghost dark matter?

The article you mentioned specifically mentions inland evaporative pool to turn those brine for road salts or other uses. But the problem is just that no one is doing it.

I mean, possibly? Autism can indeed manifest as something extreme. And whose to say it spread evenly? Maybe on his bad day he can watch 5 back-to-back or 3 with breaks in between

Edit: Out of curiosity I tried to search the movie duration (keyword: back to the future movie duration) and got 1h 56m.

So, 116 minute × 50.000 = 5.800.000 minutes 5.800.000/(60×24×365)≈11 years

I don't mind paintball since there is a kind of paintball which MUST be thrown NEAR a suspect with unremovable paint. What I am worrying about is non-human aiming it. Now don't get me wrong, computer aim can be very good (see: any military defense weapon) but I doubt the startup isn't cutting corners somewhere.

Edit to add: Maybe a system of confirmation before shooting would also be helpful. Like, when intrusion is detected, the device should confirm whether to shoot or not. But I don't know how it will work at sleep time.

I mean, kinda? What sort of heater are we talking about and how do we measure its efficiency? But, if the definition is just converting energy to heat, without specifying where the heat needs to be, then sure. Every heater has 100% efficiency. Otherwise, there will always be a loss at transport and others.

Oh, I see. If that's how we would define it then yes of course. I mean, I already saw upscaler and other "AI" technologies being used on consumer hardware. That is actually useful AI. LLM usefulness compared to their resource consumption is IMHO not worth it.
