Cullen White, AnitaB.org's chief impact officer, said in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, that some registrants had lied about their gender identity when signing up, and men were now taking up space and time with recruiters that should go to women. "All of those are limited resources to which you have no right," White said.
I'm neither condoning nor condemning what any participant did, but I found this part (emphasis added) a bit
As everyone these days like to say, gender is separate from sex.
Hell, my Con Law professor was saying that in '02, and I'm sure he'd been saying it for years.
We have no federal laws passed which protect gender or gender identity
Strictly speaking, that’s true. But. BHO expanded Title VII by executive order (see, e.g., E.O. 13988), to include “gender identity.” But that was in the wake of the SCOTUS ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County , 590 U.S.—(2020), expanding the statutory term “sex”to include “gender identity” (and sexual orientation). So while technically no federal statutes protect “gender or gender identity,”in practice, under Bostock (and of course various state laws; the most populous state in the country having, e.g., the Unruh Civil Rights Act, which expressly does protect “a person’s gender identity and gender expression [a person’s gender-related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth].”
almost everything else, at least everything else that isn't a toy, has been using proper barrel jack connectors and DC/DC converters pretty much forever.
You're aware that basically every laptop coming out the past several years, from MacBook Air and Pro models to Lenovo ThinkPads (basically, anything but gaming laptops with power-sucking GTX GPUs etc) are using USB-C PD to charge, right? Current, widely available devices allow for 100W (20V @ 5A PDO), and up to 240W was standardized a couple of years ago.

The script (and that dialog) was written by Lawrence Kasdan and Leigh Brackett, and the movie was directed by Irvin Kershner...
It is known.

And I'm not talking about the codec. I am talking about the fact that you pretty much need iTunes in order to use the iPod. And they also had their proprietary charging port. 2 huge fails.
iTunes or
The first iPods used Firewire, an IEEE standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394
Later iPods used the 30 pin connector, which was pretty trivial to unwind (https://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml), and could be sourced from any number of sources. It's also worth remembering that, at the time, pretty much *every* device used a different proprietary connector (looking sideways at my old Palm Treo, Palm Pilot, Samsung and Motorola flip phones, etc), or had basic connectors (SanDisk MP3 player with a Mini USB B socket) that could *only* be used to manage the media, with no audio transmission or playback control etc.
The iPod nano has a camera, the shuffle didn't.
There are 7 generations of Nano, only the 5th gen had a camera. I had a 1st gen (no camera), and then 6 years later (2011) Apple recalled it and gave everyone a 6th gen (no camera, Apple Watch-ish form factor). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Nano
Pedantic, but, “the late 1990s dotcom crash” didn’t happen in the late 1990s. I was there, Gandalf The dot-com boom survived through the quadruple digit calendar year flip (LNX set an IPO record in December 1999; I had some code in the Linux kernel and so I got to participate

Thing is, with iOS, you can do exactly the same thing. Case in point: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/manual-raw-camera/id917146276
The IIgs had a separate keyboard (in fact, it was the launch device for ADB).
considering Electric engines for planes are likely on the horizon as well
They're already here (look up Bye Aerospace, and Airbus had a couple of tech demonstrators, the e-Fan prototypes, among others). But the energy density just isn't there, and won't be for a long time barring some fantastic breakthrough in battery technology. The electric planes we've been able to build to date have an endurance of about 2 hours at like 65 knots, and are 2- or (at most, so far) 4-seaters, with limited usable load. Useful for trainers and as proof of concept, but not for much else.
I did have Linux on a system with 8MB RAM, way back in the mid-nineties
Now I'm having flashbacks. I think the lowest spec'd system I ever installed Linux on was an 80386SX at 40 MHz with 4MB RAM, but there's a possibility I tried it on one of our 16 MHz 386SX machines, just to see how it would run. The 40 MHz machine worked as a serial port server, with a couple of 16550 UART cards talking to some VT220 terminals. (We were using pine for email in those days, and had onions tied to our belts, as that was the fashion of the time.) For a while, my main portable was an old ActionNote 500c, a 486SLC2/50 (really just a 386sx) with 8MB RAM (I'm pretty sure; I kinda remember finding an expansion module for it).
Ungh. Why sans serif?
Studies have shown that long passages of serif type are easier to read and comprehend than long passages of sans-serif type. The rule accordingly limits the principal sections of submissions to serif type, although sans-serif type may be used in headings and captions. This is the same approach magazines, newspapers, and commercial printers take. Look at a professionally printed brief; you will find sans-serif type confined to captions, if it is used at all.
