Yeah, it feels "not ND friendly" too. Totally breaks my reading flow.

I am the person addressed when someone says "you", not "yu". Why is that person changing how I'm addressed?

It's also confusing because it feels initially like it's some new Linux command or user, like "su".

Opposite for me. It seems to noticably improve my sleep quality.

I'd have assumed Qualcom are looking at the Steam Deck / Steam Machine and Steam OS, and thinking: "I might want some of that."

And looking at the direction Microsoft is going, and thinking: "Shackling our laptop and desktop chip sales to this is a bad idea."

The entire landscape outside of the Raspberry Pi is a shitshow in terms of "Just download a distro for your device class and arch and it'll work."

Arm SystemReady appears to be a slow push in the right direction from the opposite end.

If you ask any British person in my generation, "Badger badger badger badger?" they'll probably join in. I don't think you appreciate how viral and beloved it is.

The process uses the depth of the toner layer to make a mould of the physical ridges, which you use to generate a a gelatine cast of them. It's like a single-layer depth 3D print where the medium is fused toner from the laser printer.

There's also the issue that the device is covered in fingerprints, and if you can build a clean image of the print, you can likely manufacture a gelatin copy of that fingerprint that will work on most fingerprint scanners.

I can't speak to the current generation of Apple fingerprint scanners, but historically iirc you can grab a print, clean it up in Photoshop, print it on OHP transparency using a laser printer and use it like a mould to copy a fingerprint.

Before the plague shut down the place I got my larger bottle refilled, I got a mid-size standard CO2 to SodaStream adapter from Ali Express. Saved me a fortune hooked up direct to the SodaStream, especially as sparkling water was intermittently surprisingly difficult to get hold of during those times. I should contact the gas supplier, see where the nearest point is now.

Looks smooth, but holy motion sickness.

Given the impact of international terrorism and crime on India, minimising illicit money flow in and out of the country seems an inherently sensible precaution.
