I didn’t know alternate Windows shells where still a thing. I remember Litestep was another back in the day.

If there was intelligent life on Mars in past there would presumably be lasting signs that we could discover.

Who knows what signs we might find in ice cores from the Martian South Pole.

It’s amazing how far technology has progressed.

It’s called “disk destroyer” for a reason.

Always double check your dd commands folks.

Well, there is still time for a relatively unknown backbencher to come forward. I think something similar happened the last time Burnham ran for the leadership.

The majority of the public is desperate for change, and running out of patience with a political system that doesn't deliver.

Starmer ran on a vague platform of change and competence, but since taking office Starmer has shown have little political vision or political acumen to move the country forward. The Labour government has been less beset by personal scandal, but the bar for that was already incredibly low.

Some old computer magazines in the 8 bit era occasionally distributed software on flexidiscs. They were also called Floppy ROMs.

The older games still hold up at least. I’ve been playing through Emerald again and it’s been a lot of fun.

There’s also quite a few good ROM hacks out there too.

I hadn’t heard of Moonfin before, it looks promising as an Apple TV client. Any pitfalls with it?

Unfortunately many parts of Sailfish are proprietary though.

I think the options either that combination are limited. IKEA Zigbee devices use removable batteries, but they don’t have a temperature sensor. They do have a USB air quality sensor but it’s a bit more complex/expensive.

There are some good WiFi, Bluetooth or RF options with removable batteries but they won’t be Zigbee.

I’ve heard of some people modifying the coin cell devices to used a wired power supply, maybe that would be an option.

It's not mentioned in the release notes anywhere, but the 2025.8 update has subtly changed the shade of blue used in the UI:

It's been throwing me off a bit ever since I updated.
