I don't think making it smaller works yet. The focal depth problem is too serious. Until someone comes up with a way to solve it with holograms or something, we're stuck with bulky optics that still hurt most people's eyes. I further think you could use fiber, which would only make the device more expensive. Wasn't that supposed to be on the Firewire roadmap anyway? Hmm, I see they formally gave up on that back in 2013.
I remember a friend trying to get his shiny new AWE64 to work with his off-brand beige box. Either the printer port or the sound card could work, because they had incompatible DMA channel-address space combos.
He must have had a strange LPT port and/or address then, because normally those wouldn't be in conflict. I've had cards with fairly huge numbers of dip switches, but as long as you could get your hands on some documentation you were OK. Even very cheap ATA multi-I/O cards usually had fairly generous I/O ranges. I had a 120MB Maxtor ATA disk in the 386DX25 on which I first ran Linux, on a $15 no-brand ATA card, and with a 1MB Trident VGA card. That $15 card had pretty decent UARTs, too.
I tried to significantly upgrade the CPU in an AMD-based netbook that I really, really liked... it was 64 bit, but it was single core, and I was just trying to get it into the prior era at the time really and just get it to be a dual-core. And in theory this was possible and I even did it, but it was unreliable AF and I stalled out at the BIOS hacking stage and just got some other used thing. And now I have a $300 HP (I know ugh) Ryzen 3 laptop which... I doubled the RAM and quadrupled the SSD in. Remarkably, it has a combo SATA/NVMe M.2 slot. It's been great with Devuan on it, it's still running version 4 even. We watch youtube on it while we eat dinner, high tech shit. But suspend/resume works reliably, so I've got that going for me.
That's terrible, it means if you buy very much RAM in the frist place you're basically getting reamed.
I'm gonna want something Linux-based, and then it's not going to be all GPLv3. Otherwise, I'm happy to agree.
The fewer platforms I have to learn, the better.

Reminds me of when I worked for an environmental cleanup company that was eventually bought out by a chemical company. The company was thus paid to clean up its own messes, via Fed Superfund money.

Why is that? Is it to simplify communications? The lakes would certainly be more interesting.

I believe courts have interpreted it to mean people on US territories or citizens (even when abroad). Conservative courts have also assigned corporations and organizations many person-like legal qualities, which liberals often balk at because it gives them a potentially overly large voice on political issues traditionally considered only to be rights for individuals.

Courts may rule evidence is needed before "punishing" Tik Tok, otherwise could be considered unequal treatment.
If there is any place in the world where the Jews can have a state of their own, it is in The Land of Israel.
That's one thing, illegally settling lands that they were not handed by the US through the UN is another.
The history of the Jews, as well as the history of the Jewish statehood, began before 1948.
And yet THOUSANDS OF YEARS after the region we're discussing was settled by others.
