How did they identify your software? Could you guys produce a sibling program whose job is to identify the windows version and notify the main program?

Taste is overrated. Taste is an excuse for gatekeeping and a tool for exclusivity. Your work won’t fly because it lacks taste, whatever that’s it, defined by whomever.

I'm using JDK 21 (old) and the startup time is sub-second for small programs.

Just stacco on wood frame. It’s adding a new circuit from the panel; might need to add a circuit breaker for the circuit. The wire can go through crawl space or over in attic.

OT. What’s the going rate for adding a new circuit from the panel? Let’s say the circuit ended with an external outlet outside of the garage and to an outlet inside the garage.

That's i3. Also what's the temperature when it's doing work instead of idling?

It's the CPU voltage setting in BIOS that got reverted.

I did clean the thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink, and re-applied new thermal gel. That didn't help. It was the raised voltage preset in the BIOS. If I lowered the voltage, the temperature stayed low and it would run fine, until the next power down reverting the BIOS changes. The box was too small, the heat sink was too cheap, and the fan was too lacking to be a proper overclocking setup. It would run fine out of the box for couple months until the CPU and hardware worn out due to stress and heat.

Just a note on OP's hardware choice. I used to have a Beelink with the N100 CPU. That thing overheated and reboot intermittently after couple months of usage. I suspected they overclocked the CPU to look good in benchmarks. I tried to underclock in the BIOS. The temperatures dropped but the setting was reverted after the next power down. Nothing in the BIOS stuck. Their support was worse than useless. The machine ended up as spare parts.

You are better off getting the used business mini-PC from HP/Dell/Leveno/Asus. They have better specs and run great.

Dermatologists are hit or miss. I had one years ago who had her own practice. Her office was fancy and filled with skincare products; I guess her main clienteles were women wanting better looking skin. But she was good. She looked at the symptom for a minute, prescribed a cream, and gave detail instruction on how to apply it. The whole visit was less than 5 minutes. My skin condition plaguing me for several years were gone within two weeks.

Years later I had dermatologists in hospitals who were bad to useless. The only good one was a new graduate doing substitution shift for my dermatologist who was on leave. The sub prescribed medication that actually work.

May be AI will figure out reality is a simulation and decide to pulling the plug.
