See the trick is to never turn the computer off, to avoid wearing out the power button :}

That's a sweet case though, maybe you can find a replacement power button

Ah, the computer of Theseus. My 20year old server of Theseus only has the chassis left of original parts. And an unplugged floppy and DVD drive xD

Add to that doing field work with slow and unreliable internet, and it literally takes 30 seconds to open the context menu in explorer. Gotta wait for corporate.exe to time out first. At least opening the start menu doesn't literally take 30 seconds anymore, after a regedit change to stop it from searching online first.

Flip the classroom: Each student watches the lecture at home at their own pace (with individual pause and rewind). Assignment are done as during interactive classroom sessions, not as homework

I still have a couple DVD drives. They're both disconnected because the PCs they're in both got new motherboards at some point in time without an IDE plug 😅

All of them. Not directly, but RAM and SSD price explosions hurt. Also buying electricity for my home heater from the same market as billion dollar data centers hurt too

That was 3 years ago already?! Shit I'm getting old

Tldr: don't let Perfect be the enemy of good

I don't know about Codebergs policy on the matter, but morally I think there's nothing wrong with putting open-source mods for closed-source games on Codeberg.
I always use FOSS software whenever possible, even if they're lacking in some aspects compared to closed-source alternatives, but have no problems with closed source games. Games are entertainment, not utility. Games have a short lifecycle compared to utility software. Games are often a one-time experience, and when you've finished a game it's done. (Nobody ever "finished" their use of Notepad). Meanwhile developers gotta eat.

There's also some precedence for open-source projects that can only be fully accessed with closed source software, like open-hardware using Eagle for PCB and schematic design (before KiCAD truly took off), or Fusion360 for CAD ( FreeCAD development is accelerating though)

Building on top of Unity is a massive risk as made evident by last year's rug pull incident. And there's nothing stopping them from trying again

The 2024+ Long Range Single motor (rear wheel drive) is rated for 655km which is pretty decent. Compared to the 2021 first gen dual motor (long range) which was rated at 390km

BMW i5 Touring and Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo are the only electric stationwagons I know of. I share your dispair at the lack of "medium" size electric cars. For a decade there was only one sedan, the Tesla S. And later a second sedan, the Tesla 3. At least these days there's greater selection of sedans, though still not many wagons. Although to be fair there's hardly even fossil wagons for sale these days.

The prevelance of tiny or massive EVs kinda make sense. Small city cars are usually used for shorter journeys so they can get away with a smaller lighter batteries. Big SUVs are heavy to begin with, so the heavy battery doesn't make that a massive difference. Fossil sedans and estates can be relatively light but are still often used for long journeys, but a longrange sedan EV will be very heavy.

There's strong Farquaad vibes here..

Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make
