The main cause of bitrot in older disks is the organic dyes fading (aside from REALLY cheap disks where delamination was a problem), whereas M-Disc uses an inorganic carbon material

iPhones don't come with those expensive high-bandwidth cables, they come with charging cables that only do USB 2.0

On a warship? They’d have still seen it.

It took 6 months to discover, and even then it was by techs who went to physically install different hardware saw the dish hardware mounted to the ship. That's the real WTF here, how do these ships not have some kind of passive RF scanning/rogue AP detection??

It was seen by regular enlisted people who saw the network on their phones and left comment sheets asking WTF it was, but the person in question snatched up the papers before they got to the officers. If they had hidden the SSID, nobody would have seen it because nobody scans for hidden SSIDs on their phones.

How can Spez be so clueless

The gatekeeper legislation sets minimums for revenue before you're counted as a gatekeeper, and all the game consoles are too small a market to count.

I'm a millennial but I grew up with Macs which mostly just worked, I don't remember having to do much troubleshooting as a kid.

But for me it was more that there was nothing else to do. You got bored, and messed around with and explored the computer, figuring out what you could make it do. Even once we got internet, it was dialup, so you got online for a bit, checked some things, downloaded some shareware, then disconnected and were stuck with whatever was on the computer again to mess with.

These days the kids have a never-ending social media feed, they have no reason to ever be bored again.

Where I went to school, originally the dorms were on the university network but a year in they offloaded us onto regular, commercial ISPs. The change was great for us since the university network was very strict on stuff like torrents (using DPI any torrent, even legal, got you disconnected for 24h)

The logic was just that when UNIX was originally evolving, they ran out of disk space on their PDP-11 and had to start moving less-essential binaries to a different disk. That's why it's "/usr/" which was originally for user data but that disk happened to have free space.

Any other explanation is just retcon. Some distros try to simplify things.

YouTube creators can see the view rate for each section of the video, I'd be surprised if sponsors didn't ask for that data (if just to know the viewer retention for sponsor segments at the beginning vs end of the video)

I've literally voted for the "Pirate Party" in my country

Close, it's 18650 cells which are super common. Even stuff like laptop and EV batteries may be composed of them.

Fun fact, the numbers indicate the physical size - 18mm diameter 65.0mm length. The same applies to those button cell batteries - CR2032 is 20mm diameter by 3.2mm thickness.
