Could it write a deterministic constraint solving program that at least gives it a head start at narrowing down options?

My theory is they saw capacity would have issues during weekday working hours due to last minute frenzy of usage, so would rather it happen on a weekend if it has to happen.

Could try asking for a seahorse emoji in addition…

I like to have it both ways. Given the options available so far I've preferred to have bookmarks shared between both and mainly keep tabs / working context separate.
The best I've managed so far is to run separate instances of Firefox with the same Sync Account which appear as separate 'devices'. Nightly with a different icon and theme makes it obvious which is which.
This way if I come across something interesting I want dig into further on my own time, I can bookmark it as well as 'Send Tab To Device -> Home' or 'Phone' depending on where I want to be and what environment I want to have available when I see it later (e.g. read only, or hands on).
Yes, I may be hoarding a lot of tabs but that's a separate issue...

It’s a kind of product that makes completely opaque barrier. Often used in the most high-risk spots like on and either side of your nose.

I miss the blue coloured model which had rumble/vibration feedback, just before everything moved to wireless which wouldn’t have had good enough battery tech at the time to continue it. Today, if they can fit them into tiny Nintendo controllers, surely it could be done well again…

“One hop further” sounds like an unbounded loose end… could you tighten this up further somehow?
Pre-allocate a larger, more worthwhile portion to do a round trip or something else more verifiable?

Which formats or types of devices would give you the best ability to attempt to future-proof the capture of (relatively low short-term value) home videos of random family moments?

Have they been in your trenches, and lived to tell the tale?

Seats should automatically recline after take-off, and automatically raise during meals and landing. No manual recline control.

A colleague did a similar thing, except set it to whisper the time quietly at lengthy but random intervals.
It took the victim so long to figure out what was causing it, that it made it so much funnier.

Wouldn't that mean any other users would be unable to use (or maybe just install or upgrade) homebrew stuff?

It sounds very similar to a 'Saccade' [1]. Something your eyes do all the time when waking whenever they move. From your mind's perspective it seems to cut off the old signal from wherever yours eyes were previously facing/absorbing, wipes the slate clean and starts building up mental imagery and models based on the new input feed.
I think this might be getting at what they mean by 'change of scene', but it's probably not possible to prove exactly what's happening since it's subjective.
As an experiment you can do yourself to highlight this effect, go to you bathroom and look into the mirror with your face almost touching it, staring at the point between your eyes.
Try not to move your eyes at all and relax them, even if it feels like they might be moving off-target. Eventually your whole 'view' should subtly change, maybe blur and come into and out of seeming focus as your brain tries to interpret the noisy input it's getting (since nothing should be changing, the only difference in the input is noise) and may refocus your mental imagery/minds eye at showing you what it thinks you're looking at.
