Oh boy, I've been collecting these for years. Finally my time to shine!

I think I was fairly slow before learning home row typing. I just hunt-and-pecked whenever using a keyboard. We got our first computer some time around 1998, so I was introduced to computers a few years prior to taking the typing class.
Just a standard QWERTY layout. Nothing fancy.
Just used the stock antenna that came with the HT. Cheapest antenna money can buy, just about. But I live out in the countryside and don't have a lot of tall trees or buildings obscuring the view, so there was a solid 7 minute window where the ISS was passing directly overhead.
Was a bit cloudy, so I couldn't actually see it when it was passing over, but the signal came through clear as a bell.
I took one typing class in 8th grade and became faster than 99% of typists. Can sustain about 145wpm for a typical paragraph of text, but can burst up to 200wpm for shorter, simple bits of text.
Not a particularly marketable superpower in this day and age, but is a fun flex once in a while at the office.
I was being sarcastic, lol. It's a play on the "you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty" gag.
Episodes of Rick and Morty really hit close to home in a way that normies couldn't possibly fathom. It's a blessing and a curse.
Depends on what you're trying to do with the webcam.
If you just want to take pictures and videos, you can use Cheese.
If you want the webcam to be accessible to other devices on your network so you can view it remotely, you can use Motion (requires a small amount of configuration, but afterward it Just Works)
LLMs are pretty good at reverse dictionary lookup. If I'm struggling to remember a particular word, I can describe the term very loosely and usually get exactly what I'm looking for. Which makes sense, given how they work under the hood.
I've also occasionally used them for study assistance, like creating mnemonics. I always hated the old mnemonic I learned in school for the OSI model because it had absolutely nothing to do with computers or communication; it was some arbitrary mnemonic about pizza. Was able to make an entirely new mnemonic actually related to the subject matter which makes it way easier to remember: "Precise Data Navigation Takes Some Planning Ahead". Pretty handy.
Looks like a defense response. Didn't sneak up behind it and scare it did you?
Enjoy!
