Yes. It's the one we're on now.

Man, I was really wondering why you're taking such a weird stance...

got a vasectomy

Aaaaah, so it's just post-purchase rationalisation.

Heeeeeey, MAGDArena!

Did that, kind of. The system's been running flawlessly for like a decade now. I'm not sure if they even understand the difference.

Title pretty much says it.

I regularly draw stuff on a computer and always had convertible laptops, first to take notes and later to be able to draw stuff. I started with a Lifebook T3010, went on to get a Thinkpad X60 tablet, later an X220t. When I needed to replace that, I got a Dell XPS which I hated with a passion due to its lousy digitiser, which was an AES pen instead of the tech they used in previous generations. Out of my frustration, I got a wacom cintiq tablet display, which is, however, clumsy and over the years the connector (which really isn't made to be used in non-office environments) started acting out, so I started to look for a convertible again. However, I'm having a hard time finding EMR convertibles. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a convertible with decent Linux support that has a built-in EMR panel? I'm already thinking about getting an older Thinkpad X2x0t off of ebay, but it's hard to find a good deal on one it seems...

And Kelvin?

The top one was just the hangar.

Not to be overly pedantic, but changing the order of things in the second part of the sentence is really throwing me off by suggesting that donuts are fermented and that there's a beer with fried dough as an ingredient somewhere.

Lise Meitner went on to be forgotten? In my city, a big street bears her name, including the tram station there. Fittingly, it's the tram to the University that stops there. Essentially, her name is hammered into all students' heads here.

systemd gets stuck because it's trying to mount two separate partitions to the same mount point

Uh... Sounds like it's not really systemd's fault, your setup is just terrible.

I've tried fixing it, but all I did was break it more.

If you're unable to fix it, maybe get somebody else? Like, this doesn't sound like it's an unfixable issue...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage

The "5-dimensional" descriptor is only a marketing term, since the device has 3 physical dimensions and no exotic higher dimensional properties. The fractal/holographic nature of its data storage is also purely 3-dimensional. The size, orientation and three-dimensional position of the nanostructures comprise the so-called five dimensions.

☹️

/edit

Further down in the article it is a little clearer...

In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it.

The website even lists a little more...

In order to increase the data capacity of optical storage, there is the potential of storing more than one bit in a single voxel by implementing multiplex technology. The recently developed 5D optical storage technique uses birefringence as an extra degree of freedom – the property of a medium whereby its refractive index varies depending on the polarization and direction of incident light. Birefringence generated by the orientation and size of optical nano-gratings offers two extra dimensions, providing much higher storage capacities.

So, it's supposedly three dimensions of position plus angle and (maybe?) polarity. So, it seems to be more than just a marketing gimmick, but I can't find any information about the resolution of those additional two parameters, so I can't tell if a single voxel stores two bits or two terabits.
