Don't underestimate the number of Chewbacca cosplayers there are out there. I know a few.

I have travelled the ferry between Roedby and Puttgarden several times on a train.
It had felt a little unsafe to get out of the train to leave your belongings behind during the crossing, but it was a nice change of pace.
It was nice to get out on the deck and get a view of the Femern Baelt straight. That is something that future train travellers will be denied.

The worst part was for the train sometimes having to wait for the next ferry. That time should also be accounted for when calculating time savings.

Vulnerabilities in the algorithm were found in 2004, 05, 06, 07 and 08. And is was widely recommended to not be used any further in 2010.

(I am myself guilty of having written production software with it in 2008, that was deployed in 2009 ... which had to get updated in 2010)

There is no ideological, economical or scientific reason for Trump's stance against wind turbines. It is purely out of spite.

This article sums up the background:
How Trump's loathing for wind turbines started with a Scottish court battle.

Back in 2012, Trump had objected to 11 wind turbines which were planned within view from his new golf course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The wind turbines were eventually built.
He had objected up in the Scottish courts and even appealed as far as the UK Supreme Court.
He lost all the way, and because he is a sore loser he has been an enemy to wind turbines ever since.

BTW. Trump calls wind turbines that creates electricity "windmills".
There is a British idiom "Tilting at Windmills" which means to attack imaginary enemies. It is a reference to the classic novel "Don Quixote". So for a Brit used to the expression, Trump appears even more ridiculous.

Imagine it feeling your where your fingers are holding it and using it to distort the image on the screen to make it resemble squeezing a transparent gel ball. .. just to take the current user interface analogy to its extreme.

*shudder*

Up until the mid '90s, most computers were made to have a CRT monitor sit on top of it. I don't think that was a problem.

I used to lug CRT monitors to LAN parties back in the 90s... It was just the way we did it back then.

The mouse here was a common design from Mouse Systems, who also made the same model adapted to the IBM PC and for several other Unix vendors.

Linux as host OS is the way.

I think that if you are going to run MS Windows at all, then you should run it in a virtual machine that supports snapshots.
Then, if you'd get a bad Windows Update -- which MS has had a tendency to push out much too often lately -- then you would be able to roll back your Windows installation to a previous snapshot instead of getting a bricked computer.

Your data should also never be on the C: drive, for the same reason.

No 13" laptop has a numpad. They are not wide enough to fit one beside the main keyboard.

If you want a numpad, you could get a Framework 16".
But unlike every other 16" laptop, Framework's numpad is an option: you could choose between having a numpad, and having spacers on the sides of the main keyboard.
Or you could get both options and switch when you like.

My impression of John Ternus is that he is very media-trained to the point of being a condescending bullshitter.
Tim Cook had sometimes looked slightly embarrassed. Not with this guy. Therefore, my very personal gut reaction is that I'd expect him to take more risks than Tim Cook had done, for better and for worse.

The people I know who identify as Republican all despise Trump though. From my perspective, the dissent and dissatisfaction is is only growing.

The keyboard and screen now comprise a text terminal to the fast CPU on the mainboard.
RAM has become too expensive for graphics. /s

There will soon be a mainbord with SpacemiT K3.

The K3 is not super-fast, but it is the fastest RISC-V CPU so far that anyone has used and been allowed to speak about. The latest Ubuntu runs on it. The 8 AI cores can also be used as slower CPU cores, but that requires a custom kernel.

Other faster RISC-V CPUs are expected later this year, but this is so far the only new RISC-V mainboard for the Framework 13 this year.

There are CAPTCHA systems out there on the web that monitor mouse movements to distinguish whether a user is a human or a bot, so as to keep AI web-scrapers out.

My first thought when reading this, was that perhaps this training on human mouse movements is intended to make AI scrapers that could circumvent those countermeasures ...

There was a high-profile scam two years ago wherein deepfakes had been used to impersonate high-level executives in a teleconference call to order a lower-ranking employee to authorise payments.

But ... wherever this tech is going to be deployed, do you think it will be compulsory for the high-level executives to use or only for the lower-ranking employees?
