anyway, even if it's not 100.0% multi-tenant secure, I don't have a habit of allowing actively malicious people root access on my box
the people who I do give out that kind of privilege to, I trust pretty well
there are people who access some services on the box (services that should not, in principle, grant them any privilege escalation) who I don't trust much, but that's true of any public-facing server
Welp, got a Dirt Devil cordless vac. NiCd, as is typical for these sorts of vacs.
(High discharge capability at low cost, but lower capacity and shorter service life.)
A peek at one of the exhaust vents reveals that the cells are Wintonic 1300 mAh sub-C, not exactly the best. There are clearly better cells for this form factor. I guess cost is the big issue here...
I hope they last a reasonable period of time. I'm going to avoid overcharging it as this is probably what caused my old DustBuster to fail.
(Three-year warranty does help here; let's hope Royal Appliance does indeed honor it in the event of a problem.)
@Bob SWTOR people peer-pressured me into play Cards Against Humanity - might not last longer than an hour, if you want to join we might be able to squeeze that in before Sins
@bwDraco avoid also overdischarge , when there are ni-mhy or ni-cd cells in series. People tended to want to discharge power tools fully. I was just checking out a few packs for someone, they incurred reverse charge from riding the pack till it was moving to a crawl.
while they both like to be used, when one cell item is at a very low state, and people keep hammering away, that kills it just as much as continually overcharging.
@JourneymanGeek if you're fast you can get through, maybe plonk a starbase there. would not recommend pushing further through the next asteroid because that was blue. the volcanic and oceanic branch is safe though
I have seen bunch of articles saying how raspberries could be joined to make a cluster. I basically am a 3d artist type thing and you know rendering a 10 second animation can take hours.
So if I make a cluster of about 20 or more raspberries with each having 1 GB RAM will the end result have 20 ...

Mind-boggling configurability.
Brightness set in cd/m^2. Direct color temperature and gamma adjustment. White and RGB points configurable as CIE xy coordinates. Hue/saturation/offset adjustments for RGBCMY. Just mind-boggling.
Overdrive (Response Improve). Automatic brightness and ambient light compensation. Color vision emulation for simulating how images will look to colorblind persons.
White LEDs work like fluorescents. There's a led that's uv iirc, and that's converted by phosphors to white. Newer LEDs use better phosphors with a better white point I guess.
The external Acer IPS display attached to this laptop has an OK gamut but much better color accuracy out of the box (though calibration is still necessary). However, it does suffer from more IPS glow than I'd like.
After decades of hearing that "delete" does not really make the data impossible to recover, I have to ask WHY the OS was not corrected long ago to do what it should have been doing all along? What is the big deal? Can't the system just trundle along in the background over-overwriting and whatever...
specifically: most of the time deletion does not have to be unrecoverable, so the performant option wins out. and sometimes users make mistakes and WANT to recover
I'm just pointing out that as the OS is kinda unknown to a point, it might of done any number of things with your files before you decided to delete them...
