You can do maths and programming on a very cheap pc, don't necessarily need an expensive PowerPC with i dunno which graphics card is currently the hype

Because cassette tapes were awful, fast declining quality, tiny picture + tiny booklet if you're lucky. Discman was awful while cycling to school, potholes causing interruptions... The mp3-player 256MB was a really cool innovation! Enjoyed that supermuch. Went through batteries FAST tho. But vinyl LPs... Is just different. It was never meant for on the road scenario and the size of the 12" sleeve just makes for a really cool collection of pictures alongside the cool collection of music. I still enjoy playing vinyl while I find it is the ultimate album experience. You get nice sleeve/context, sort of forced to listen album a to z and always dead silence in the end instead of some algorithm or autoplay making everything a never ending stream of best case 'related' stuff but more common the next sponsored crap being pushed on you...
In a lot of countries they are deeper embedded in many corporate/government cultures than ever before with the office365+teams combo tho...
Plastic kitchen tools like a spatula, made from any kind of plastic, will break down mechanically and in high temperatures. Always. It can't be good to eat plastic, i'ld rather avoid it. Wooden kitchen utensils of course suffer similar issues, but I'm a bit more fine with ingesting tiny pieces of wood once in a while. If I can, while tending to my food, I will always use glass, metal or wood instead of plastic. But you do you, plastic is cheaper... It's not poisonous by the way, but is can be carcinogenic. Yes, arsenic is deadlier than plastic. That does not mean ingesting plastic is healthy.
I'ld still be amazed if European countries decided to pile up 150.000 soldiers, thousands of tanks and artillery somewhere in Finland near Russian border pointing towards st. Petersburg. They just can't not react. This would pull so much Russian force away from the actual frontlines...
it will become like many appliances... You want a dumb tv? Possible, but it will cost you more than a smart one. You want a dumb fridge? Fine, but soon it will cost you more than a 'smart' one you can't even turn on without making an account somewhere and registering your email and phone
why does a fridge need a computer and a screen?
Fair enough if it's decaying in many ways! I had gotten the impression it would be just for the usb-c only. In my perfect world many electronic appliances would also be forced to be a minimum level of repairable and have replaceable batteries of course. Possibly only "professionally replaceable", but not glued in and/or artificially made as little repairable as possible.
Logical things I think it could or should become the norm as well: electric razors, vaporisers, head-flashlights (like Petzl), many kinds of toys like RC cars and such, christmas lights, Halloween decorations etc etc.
It think in many cases it will usually be a lot more ecological to use devices you already own as long as you can and keep repairing them if possible. It's nice to have usb-c, but throwing out a fine, still functioning toothbrush to replace it by a usb-c chargeable model just for that reason seems to me like the opposite of ecological.
I'm not proud of where I got it
Flex launcher looks cool, thanks. Might be more convenient and slicker than trying to put everything in steam and autostart steam...
I'm not sure why it should be redacted much at all at this point, except for names of known victims. It is of national intrest to the greatest imaginable importance that this dude is sent out of office and to death row yesterday. USA is broken.
