Watch for battery life when buying older Surface devices. Replacing batteries in the older Surface Pros is notoriously difficult, because apparently the whole assembly is glued together. Loss of battery life is what forced an early retirement of my 5th-gen (2015) Surface Pro, even though not was otherwise completely serviceable. Newer versions are apparently more repairable, but you’ll have to investigate where that cut-off line of repairability is.
I mean, I think it started as a BSD fork with a Linux kernel jammed in so… you’re not far off.
I’m pretty sure Jurassic Park (the movie) coming out was when it became common knowledge to the general public. A few hardcore dinosaur nerds (and readers of the Jurassic Park novel) were generally aware beforehand, but it was the movie that pushed it into common knowledge.

South America has a ton of hydroelectric capacity.
Dude, you live in Italy, the food is amazing! That said, after a two week trip to Italy, my wife is a much better cook of Italian food now. …In America.
The state of Florida. They don’t need my tourist dollars right now. When they can figure out state government again, I’ll consider spending my money there. They have no shortage of tourists, but I know it’s not my money propping up that insanity.
My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but also the time-value of money on constructing a new nuclear plant is a very real problem. Yes, we should be using a massive, mature, and mostly-carbon-neutral energy source. However, due to economic factors, we can build a lot of renewables capacity before the site planning is even done on a new nuclear power plant. It’s a lot easier to finance a new renewables facility that is generating revenue pretty quickly.
The comments on that article are just a shit-show. It kind of hurts the credibility of the author when you see all that.
You must not be aware of how long it takes a single nuclear power plant to come online…
That entire block that says “ethanol” is corn, plus that entire block that says corn syrup, and a good chunk of that block that says “livestock feed”. It’s a lot of corn.
It’s kind of hidden. Tap the 3 lines in the top-left corner, then pick with with “Local” or “All” and there should be an option in there to pick an instance and enter your login/pass.
I’ve used it off and on in KUbuntu for a couple of years without issue, installing the helper app from the .deb file directed to me by the plugin. I have scanned it for viruses and watched for strange behavior, and I haven’t observed anything suspicious. It runs as the current user, no elevated privileges required.
