Only downside I've encountered using W10 IoT LTSC is that I had the temporarily change the currentbuild key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion) in registry to 19045 to be able to install docker and WSL2.

I'd change mine so that the portrait and landscape button layout were separately configurable.

Focal length wouldn't even be an issue if the photographer was taking the photos from the same position. The fish-eye effect is literally because the photographer is closer. Cropping a photo with a different focal length will give the same composition and difference will be the distortion introduced by the camera and the image processing.

Neat. I usually just use 7zip to open .exe and .msi files.

A game such as Turing Complete will give the same sort of understanding of the fundamentals of computing, although not a physical learning experience.

You'd be better off with an engine specifically designed to be efficient. Turbines are great at many things, but they are complex and don't scale down very well. They were primarily used where high torque and power is required, and they just aren't practical outside of that.

A better option would be a constant speed ICE engine running at it's peak efficiency (like a diesel-electric train).

Seems pretty self-explanatory:

Or you know you could just try to work it out for yourself.

Whole thing screams scam or April Fools joke. There's one commit to the source code repository.

Anyone want to try it on a VM and report back?

The article says that they're biconcave, which means that the thinnest part of the lens is in the centre (similar to a red blood cell). For high-myopia lenses, they often remove the lens material away from the centre to limit the maximum thickness at the expense of reducing the field of view. The resulting surface is usually left unpolished, but the lens underneath will still bend light, resulting in the circular patterns you mentioned. In this case a very large amount of material is removed as they would be impossible to use with a conventional frame otherwise. The alternative would be to use glasses with very small lenses.

Inline whitespace summation at the same time as mathematical operations seems like a problem. I don't think that there's a standard order of operation for that sort of thing.
