BeOS was pretty neat. It’s almost a shame that it was a proprietary dead end.
The en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeBox was also quite an impressive thing on paper in its day though you kind of knew it was going to be unobtainable and/or too expensive.

My favorite as well.

I’m tempted to just say "good, less WD drives around ". But there aren’t a lot, if any, good manufacturers left. What we actually get is probably more Seagate, which is even worse.

Likewise. Though the bed offset needs to be carefully set. It’s slightly different to the smooth one on mine.

- Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly? 1 month ago:
I’m guessing it wasn’t (well) oiled. Oiled board are fairly easy to clean and nothing will soak into them as long as they’re cleaned after using.
Might come off with scraping and oiling, so treat the board again. Otherwise the spot is not going to be harmful in any way and cutting boards get marked over time in any case.

Big schlorp is probably the words I’ll think about from now on whenever I see something about whales.

If you care about your data, the second thing to demand is ECC. That tends to narrow all the trash out of the choices, so it’ll be easier.
The first thing is backups. The first thing is always backups. With checksums. Preferably encrypted and at rest.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 1 month ago:
A second, freeware expansion, Grand Theft Auto Mission Pack #2: London 1961, was released for personal computers in July 1999, to coincide with the release of the Grand Theft Auto games on the internet. It is much shorter in length, and features the same map and characters as London 1969, but takes place eight years prior.

Always has been. Just with a lot of facade and flag waving. Facade is getting trashed and you’re starting to see what flags really stand for.

I don’t regularly use it, but I run into yt in search results every now and then. If I’ve looked, the front page and lots of recommends have always looked like cancer, I’ve never seen anything like that. Could it be a localized thing?
- Comment on Google's mail system helpfully classified this notice of a class action settlement AGAINST GOOGLE as spam 2 months ago:
Yes. Google’s spam filter is one of the best there is. It’s possible to train a better bespoke one if you control your own email, but provide one for free for all your users? Nobody’s ever done that better.
I remember the time before learning filters (turn of the 2000s). It was hopeless. (I also remember the time before spam email. It was hopeful.)

Yes, for some values of dumb. New ones? I don’t know. But many older ones have no connectivity.

Your nice list doesn’t seem to have non polar solvents in case it’s greasy. Something like soap, alcohol, (turpentine, acetone, xylene).
But yeah, might not be a surface stain as the other comments suggest.

Wings3d is worth a look at as a modeller as well. I really liked that. Not as colossal as blender. Nice, focused features.

- Comment on Ender 3 V2 Causing Circuit Breaker to Trip (Even when PSU is flipped off!) 5 months ago:
Is the PSU in V2 any less shady than in old Enders? The almost naked industrial unit was easy to install with wrong screws that reach into the circuit board or have things fall into the contacts or through the slots inside.
I’d look at the cable and the switch and any connectors and connections there first.

It’s a bit off the mark, but I’ll mention the Nybbles and Bytes youtube videos because I think they’re pretty neat.
- Comment on What are the most useful things you've printed? 5 months ago:
Most useful as in something I wouldn’t have otherwise is probably some gridfinite thing. SD and usb stick holders maybe.
Most used is probably a plain headphone hook for office. Daily use and storage for years.
Most saved time and money? Jigs and dummy parts at work which have helped avoid more expensive processes and mistakes in more expensive processes.
- Comment on New Plague Linux malware stealthily maintains SSH access 6 months ago:
One more path for malware is that the system has a root hole and this is where the exploit hides the malware.
Or a hostile actor gets their hands on an unencrypted hard drive and installs this when the owner isn’t looking.
