It's just a panel of self-blinking LEDs. But they're cheap and low quality, so they start off all-on, sort of in sync, then after a while they're blinking "randomly".

So I think you want an LED string built out of lights like these?

* What about the market for truly inexpensive things? Do I get e.g. my plastic knife replaced every time it gets dull, for 20 years? Does a consumer still have the option to buy a truly inexpensive (and low quality) specialized tool, that they know(/expect) they'll only need once? (Or will they all be expensive, because it's now illegal to make something that won't last for 20 years?) * How does this affect expensive things? What will a car cost, if I have to pay for all the possible issues that will come up with it over 20 years up front? * How will this be enforced? Just form a corporation that "goes out of business" every year or two, and is magically replaced by another distinct corporate entity. Sure the warranty lasts 20 years but if the company servicing the warranty doesn't ... (The even more significant proliferation of e.g. HOOLEEZOO branded items?)

I've been able to observe, most obviously with my first gen Nexus 7 but also with other devices, that pure CPU benchmarks are still fine, but "disk" benchmarks show terribly low (~100kbps) throughput. Lots of modern software assumes flash/SSD is fast, but inexpensive flash wears out to the point that this assumption fails.

At least once I've seen a thorough wipe very temporarily restore some performance in such a case.

But definitely use the "override current launcher" setting. The description implies this is a "only if you're having problems" option, but I find it makes a variety of subtle things work the way they should.

See e.g. https://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh section "Escape Characters" and "~C' Open command line. Currently this allows the addition of port forwardings ..."

They are but I think the more official/rigorous term is "prismatic cell".

(As opposed to cylindrical like 18650 et. al.)

"to cook something in hot fat or oil; to be cooked in hot fat or oil"

Because of what the word means?

A search gives me only what I see as lowish reputation sources, like the fandom wiki you linked.

* The "?" about link says a lot of this. * It was an old idea that somehow solidified recently, after spending enough time with color wheels and other things, to assemble this. * This is initially based on an HSL (hue/saturation/lightness) color wheel arrangement. But several web colors have identical H/S, so I tweaked it to spread those (especially, as you noticed, the greys) out artificially. * One of the things I wanted was to use a "real" (HSL) arrangement, to leave the values arranged visually. Close colors are close on purpose, so e.g. you can see that e.g. "tan" is a little silly, by how small its area is (there's a lot of colors very close to it, crowding it out) as compared to e.g. "crimson" which is large (not many reds, around that hue).

I can't anti-suggest this more. Everything I've done on anything labeled "cloud" is weird and special, in ways that would impede learning or dilute its quality. They're several wrapper layers above what's really going on.

Get a bare VPS (I'd start with one listed at LowEndBox for a couple bucks a month) or dedicated host for learning. After you've learned there, you can try learning the significant extra complexity of "cloud".

"Google Public DNS is a validating, security-aware resolver. All responses from DNSSEC signed zones are validated unless clients explicitly set the CD flag in DNS requests to disable the validation."

In the 90s? Laptops barely existed, definitely not "little minature" ones. I remember e.g. the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC launched in 2007, and many follow-ons after that.

The clipboard manager I used on Windows, which only works there and hasn't been supported for a while, allowed a "Win+V, type, enter" workflow to very easily search for whatever I "type"d as a substring, and paste that entry. No interacting with menus, no up/down presses, no mouse. I miss that feature.

The URL above is the documentation of the feature, which happens to also embed it.

There's a second sort of form of this: even if your (first) goal isn't to make changes, but just to maintain what you've got (operations, reactions to security issues, keeping up with the new Android/iOS/Windows/Web 99.0 way of doing things) you might need a team of a few people.

But they won't need to be doing that 100% of the time. The work will come in spurts. You'll find something to do with the time in between, because you can't hire people just for the spurts. Thus sometimes-BS jobs.

Meaning the long and awkward "descriptive" name becomes a lie over time. But the "code" name has no meaning, so it doesn't become wrong, you just need to maybe re-learn the meaning of the otherwise meaningless word.
