Oh no, you!
I like the tiberium approach, but I’m thinking sugar crystals with food dye. A stick of cinnamon bark could serve as the blossom tree in the middle of the tiberium field.
Alternatively, bake a Mammoth Tank cake (somehow). Probably the most iconic C&C unit:
Alternatively, the Temple of NOD:

As Bjorn said, there’s the .ml one, but many intentionally avoid .ml in general due to… let’s not get into that…
Consider me a subscriber if you were to create one elsewhere.
You’ve never had to bike over to a friend’s house 8km away to download a modem driver and copy it onto a floppy and bike back home only to realize that the floppy had bad sectors and you had to do it all over again, and it shows.
That’s just the way network hardware has always been, regardless of OS.
Yes, but it’s easy to work around.
Source: I bought a brand new Lenovo Legion autumn 2024, and the GPU needed a very recent nvidia driver, which in turn needed a newer kernel than what was available by default. I had to install a mainline kernel, and download nvidia driver from their site. Took maybe 30 minutes to get it up and running properly.
After 30 years of playing whack-a-mole with piracy sites, this time it will surely help.
One can argue that Linux Mint isn’t that up to date. But in my opinion, it’s up to date enough.
It’s new enough that you’re not living in the digital medieval era, and at the same time, any software installed is for the most part mature, well tested, and stable. And I find that more important than bleeding edge versioning.
And on the few occasions where I need something newer than what can be found in the standard repos, there’s always the option of building from git or adding additional sources.
I’ve been a linux user off and on in varying capacity since the 90s, combined with some FreeBSD, but linux was only a secondary OS on my desktop until I made the complete switch once I saw the trajectory of Windows 8.
Mint reminds me of how Windows 7 was designed: Simply a good OS.
The TV is used by everyone in the household, so it stays in the living room. Anyone who wants one in their bedroom has to buy it themselves.
While Hitler, Pol Pot, Beria, and Kissinger are all good and obvious contenders, I think these will be surpassed by someone who is alive right now.
But who? Well, it’s most likely someone who already has significant resources at their disposal. For all their flaws, I don’t think the lizards of Amazon, Google, OpenAI, and Facebook have much of an agenda beyond growing their fortunes. But I am convinced we haven’t seen the final form of Peter Thiel.
As a valid work visa holder in multiple countries, they already have my biometrics as they were a part of the visa process. Having the same data in my passport just speeds things up.
As long as I can enter/exit without showing more than my passport, I’m OK with it. My JD Vance memes stay locked the fuck down.
Probably because the charging circuitry would make the electronics inside bigger, and a rechargeable cell has a massively reduced capacity compared to a primary cell. The electronics package is tiny, and the battery itself is by far the biggest component. I think it makes sense to keep it semi-single-use with those factors in mind.
In fact, I’ve considered 3d printing a new shell for it to make it even tinier and definitely water proof.
Actually, it’s probably the reverse; When new it’s rated as waterproof down to 10m depth. Volvo calls it the “sports key”.
However, the battery is only rated for 3 years, and it’s not possible to change the battery without voiding the warranty, and having a new key programmed and shipped costs 500 USD equivalent.
But I’m a DIY cheapskate who voids warranty for a living, so I tore it up. It wad a standard 2032 cell, so I soldered o a new one and filled the fob with epoxy, and now it works again. I just don’t trust it to be as waterproof anymore.
I always keep it in my jeans, and it hasn’t failed me so far.
I haven’t needed it yet, but I still bring one of the proper key fobs for longer drives such as vacation or work trips.
Around where I live, ferry crossings are often short, so many of them are battery powered.
If I’m wearing a jacket, its pockets also adds:
Same, 2019 model T8 here.
It replaced my tank of a 1996 940
You’re good, no worries

I studied electronics, and today I work in IT, specializing in networking. I have no fucking idea why RF, let alone wifi, works. I mean understand how it works, but the why-part is magic, trust me.
I eat like shit, and it probably wouldn’t hurt to cut back on the beer, so I kinda compensate through everyday stuff. Such as never using an escalator or elevator when it’s a matter of fewer than 3 floors, I generally walk when I can, and every other workday starts with 30 push-ups and 10 chinups.
A colleague of mine met his wife that way. He’s from India, where it’s a lot more common.
Took me years to realize that the “correct” reply is to ask the same question back, not answering.
But my go-to phrase when having just gotten out of bed, headed for my shift was “too early to tell”
