The originally floppy drive was notorious for breaking down, in between trips to the repair show I backed up things to tape. I did have a tape drive with signal meter and tuning knob, though.

All of them! except the user port is just a header on the board, commodore sells an adapter if you want to converter the header into an authentic user port.

Back in the day some software, probably GeOS being one of them, could use ram expansion. Some games, like the port of Sonic requires expanded RAM.

Apparently the new machine also supports output to CRT. Heck, it even supports hooking up your old cartridges, tape drive, floppy drives and printers.

Last 2 times the phone just asked if I want to transfer from old phone, and then told me which app to install on old phone, and then everything just carried over..

Something about weather causing unexpected Corona discharge on long AC lines, which induced a slow oscillation in frequency until it oscillated too far down, so shit started disconnecting, resulting in cascade failure.

Took until the N900 4 years after 770 before the "mobile Linux computer" line was bestowed with a cellular modem, not counting the WiMAX modem in the N810W.
  I remember using a fairly standard claws email client on both N810 and N900 and having no issues with the UI elements despite the approximately 4" screen. Today phones have 7" screens, UI elements are humongous yet I keep hitting the wrong things all the time. I wonder what happened.

There are phones with ridiculous batteries already today. Typically used by people who generally prefer ruggedized versions of everything.

For example Unihertz Tank 3 Pro
23800 mAh battery, 120W charging,.

built in 100 lumen laser projector for projecting all those, erm, Linux Isos you download into its 512GB storage, large part of the backside consists of a cob led array capable of producing 1200 lumens, which is in the same league as car headlights in terms of output. But if you don't want to create daylight for the 100MP main camera, you can also use the 64MP night vision camera.

IP68 rating and shock proofed, because who wouldnt add ruggedness to an already silly brick.

But the smell is nicer

I wonder how much activity needs to take place outside china for a laptop to no longer be considered chinese. Is it enough to ship it to Vietnam and then ship it once again? Is it enough if they ship them bulk to somewhere else where they add the retail packaging?
Do they need to ship them disassembled from china to somewhere else? How disassembled?

I went sleep sometimes early 2010s and recently woke up too!

IRC is declining, but seems like it's still used more (for dev Collab) than what I remember from early 2000s. Overall though seems all opensource activity is down, or then it's all web crud that my brain autoignores.

Norway is pretty much the only place in the world that uses IT grounding. I believe the reason was that it was very challenging to get good ground from the mountains.
Interesting to read that TN grounding is coming though. I bet some old school electricians are going to blow up a few things due to the voltage difference though

General for general outlets, specialized for fixed appliances. (And if something you plug in starts tripping you change the protection device)

This. I learned this long before I became an electrician, when I struggled with crashing software and installed Norton Crashguard, which basically ignored crashes and let the all continue running, often with amusing results. Ignoring the bug/crash is no solution, and auto restarting software after it crashes is a horrible kludge.

The same applies to electrical faults.

Does US have different type of GFCI? In Europe we've got various types with different capabilities:

Type AC: only good for sinusoidal AC
Type A: also handles pulsed DC component in the waveform (electronic loads)
Type F: like A, but also handles variable speed drive/motor loads
Type B: the ultimate, trip threshold varies depending on waveform frequency, intended for variable speed drives, PV systems, EV chargers, and medical equipment.

Inference ("running an ai model") is much less expensive than training one, LLMs seem able to run with somewhat tolerable performance on the CPU of a Raspberry Pi 5. As far as I understand they're quantized down from the original FP32?

For training they still need to run FP32
