Well, if you're the drive controller firmware, storage space is a non-consideration for the most part. You can store stuff on the drive platters. A certain percentage of those are reserved for sector reallocation anyway, so you could use those without anyone really every being the wiser.

I love linux periodicals, but the ones from Europe always seem to be extremely pricey, at least to US customers. For print, I intuitively understand that, but the digital-only prices always seem high to me.

1-Year US/Canada Subscription: 95 GBP == 162.13 US Dollar
1-Year Digital Subscription: 38 GBP == 64.86 US Dollar

I keep looking at Linux Format, but that has even higher digital-only prices.

My impulse buy point for digital subscriptions is maybe $50/year.

For comparison, I looked up a subscription I do have:
Linux Journal offers 24 issues for $49.50. I suppose it's more advertising-supported, but still.

Oh well. I'm glad that these periodicals exist, and I hope they do well enough to hang around. :-)

I made a top-of-the-cubicle LED indicator using Devcon.exe and a Microsoft Mouse that happened to glow red when it was receiving USB power once.

I basically had devcon.exe 'enable' the mouse when it was ready to indicate something and 'disable' it otherwise.

Worked reasonably well, but that was back before I got all the notifications on the smartphone anyway.

If I read the character list correctly, that's the division / slash symbol. That does sound somewhat ominous from a malformed-URL perspective. (They also added something that looks like backslash as 27cd).

The Witcher Sequel is also available from gog.com as a drm-free pre-order for the same price as is available Steam. The Steam version will probably have Steam Achievements, etc, though, so which is more worth the money may be up to some debate.
