Bill’s PC. As in Bill Gates, probably. You’re lucky it didn’t get overrun with malware.

(No idea who/what inspired the Japanese name マサキ though.)

For ceramic, maybe see if someone can do a kintsugi fix for it instead of 3D printing?

I haven’t seen compelling enough evidence to believe in the supernatural.

That said, we do seem to be well on our way to engineering ghost-like phenomenon. People will set up LLMs and generative AI systems that imitate dead people, if they haven’t already…

No ghosts IRL? No problem! We’ll make ghosts!

Thanks Humanity. 🙄️

I don’t know about bears, but I wouldn’t it put it past a bonobo…

Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.

I use container tabs for that. Makes it easy to keep two logged in accounts side-by-side.

Those tiny guys are cute compared to this horror from Hawaii:

You gotta make sure to shake out your shoes before putting them on and check your sheets before getting in bed if you live around those guys…

No, we are communicating. People can coordinate their actions to achieve things that are impossible for an individual. We obviously don’t have perfect shared understanding, and miscommunications are not uncommon (as others have already pointed out) but we can exchange enough information to do useful things.

Also, we can make jokes. The fact that it’s possible to craft a joke and make someone laugh by setting up and intentionally subverting expectations through language is pretty good evidence that we have shared understanding and similar processing.

if anyone knows a better solution to sharing videos that doesn’t involve making accounts, please let me know!

I don’t know how to fix your trackpad issue though. Sorry.

Should be trivial to set up something like that if you’ve got parts you want to work with. Any desktop with an automatic background switcher should be able to cycle through images in a directory you specify on a timer. Set up your favorite remote access software (SSH, Samba, NFS …) and you’re done. If you want more control over the behavior, you could script up something custom with a little more effort – but it’s still not particularly hard to implement something like that.

Watch out for burn in on the screen if you’re leaving it on all the time.

By “legacy” they probably mean that they work with the older process technologies, not that the fab itself is old:

The acquisition includes an existing 300 mm fab cleanroom of 300,000 square feet and will further position Micron to address growing global demand for memory solutions

In its May 2024 ’Hooray, we’re open!’ announcement, PSMC said it invested more than NT$300 billion (US$9.5 billion) on the facility, and that it had capacity to produce 50,000 12-inch wafers per month under 55, 40 and 28 nanometer technology nodes.

Those kinds of chips are still very useful for things like cars and washing machines and such where you don’t need bleeding edge chip tech.

As others have noted, you can use the mount command from the terminal. On Mint, you should also be able to use the Disks utility that ships with the OS if you’d prefer to use a GUI.

I’m not aware of an already existing way to do that within Cinnamon, but you could try installing the Unity desktop instead (which is what Ubuntu was using back then). Canonical moved away from it in favor of GNOME some years ago, so it’s languished, but I was running a version of it until I jumped ship to Mint and Cinnamon earlier this year; it’s still possible to run it, though you might have to work around some breakage from limited maintenance.

Staying within Cinnamon, you can move the panel up to the top and re-arrange/remove elements on it. I made a few tweaks like that to my set up since I was running Unity for so long. e.g. put the menu on the right with a different icon, etc. That was good enough for me, personally.

Yes, and they’re often used together.

Celery is cold tolerant and can be grown/harvested in winter, IIRC. That might also be a factor in why it’s prevalent in soups?

My guess was that it was probably due to Hollywood, but some form of mass communication, almost certainly.
