My Mandarin is very rusty, but if it could also read it aloud that would be even better...

To be fair, most of those Wordpress / LAMP etc. sites probably also do have at least some client-side js, so they'd count for both?

Or you can buy a three-pack of Xiao ESP32-C3s for $20 from Amazon in the US and not worry? Seeed also ships domestically, though more slowly. If I was trying to build and sell a product around them paying 3X as much would matter to me, but for the Home Assistant etc. screwing around I do with them, it's fine to pay the upcharge.

Looks like CD Projekt (for Cyberpunk 2077 I expect).

Of course, if you look at the energy mix for our grid. But the possibility (maybe even the inevitability) exists that the grid will be powered by cleaner sources over time. No such possibility exists for an ICE vehicle...

I generate 80% of the power I drive on (PHEV + 10kW of PV on the roof), though I mostly commute by bike so I don't drive a ton.

Can we hope that they'll defend this patent, and no one else will be able to abuse their customers in the same way? (More likely the obvious prior art means it's dead in the water, but we can dream).

Different horses for different courses? I wouldn't open a 100MB logfile in VS Code, but ST or Zed handle that fine. I use all three, though my ST license was for a version or two back, so I have mostly switched to Zed for those giant-file-don't-need-any-bells-and-whistles tasks.

They played at my college freshman year (1989, cough, cough) and stayed in an empty room in my dorm, right next to mine. The show was great, though they were personally a little awkward (or just weren't sure what to make of a bunch of kids). Escape from Noise will always be my favorite as a result.

I have had zero luck trying to get gMaps updated to remove an imaginary address they added for my garage. I might as well just put up extra address numbers and another mailbox.

I gather that for many people, their smartphone is their only computing device. Doesn't have much appeal for me, but if that was the case, I could see that nudging people towards bigger devices, even if it makes them less practical as phones you carry around / try to grasp with one hand.
