Don't call the ambulance, it's too late for me

You are totally correct, but I feel like pointing out that a surprising number of games use the 4k texture nomenclature in a totally illogical way; they label it 4k because it's meant to look good on a 4k screen, not because the texture itself is at that resolution (or any loosely related resolution).

Which is itself really annoying. But I guess less savvy crowd might not actually understand what 'real' 4k textures even refer to?

Seeing as it's their river and they are operating it, not sure what exactly you want as evidence.

Bvckup (not a typo)

Made by a little Swiss company, extremely light but very competent. Stays completely out of your way unless it absolutely must get your attention (which is usually never).

I think it's paid only but it's very reasonable. Works great in intermittent situations, I. E. It won't blow up if it tries to run a scheduled backup and the source or target is disconnected etc... Works very well for me for a decade.

The most level-headed take I've seen on both of these topics in long time.

Lived at a farm that got some organic farming approvals; it depends on the country. And perhaps even your region. In my country, you can get certain approvals/certifications for organic farming, and the regulations for that is very strict. Things like "chemical" (synthetic) pesticides are forbidden outright, so are strong fertilizers etc. This has government oversight, so, there are randomized sampling and testing done on approved entities (farms, companies).

Sadly this often leads to higher costs and more land use. Like it or not, a lot of the things forbidden do lead to much higher yields etc. The end result is higher prices; organic (certified) products are quite expensive here.

While true that the x nm nomenclature doesn't match physical feature size anymore, it's definitely not just marketing bs. The process nodes are very significant and very (very) challenging technological steps, that yield power efficiency gains in the dozens of % usually.

Adam Savage in The Expanse. I watch that man making stuff in his workshop every week, did a triple take suddenly seeing him appear in the show!

They do also use an antireflective coating/paint on the satellites now, which had helped quite a lot.

My partner is in her mid 30s and is a game designer. Suffice to say she likes games, board games / pen & paper, video games...

These are all things that most phones already do, though. I think a realistic expectation of battery lifetime is needed here. Better allow for easier replacement in my opinion, the batteries themselves are not expensive (though we don't want to generate unnecessary waste, so, of course we try to make them last as long as feasible)

We have literally not a single plant in our apartment, and I'm sick of it! We need some green! But I have no idea what to start with.

FWIW we're in the far nordics near the arctic circle, so conditions in places like windows vary quite wildly throughout the year, from occasionaly hot and long summer days to cold and very short winter days.

Not really fuzzed about beautiful flowers, just leaves, vines, will keep us happy. Maybe succulents?

Would appreciate any advice :)
