I have encountered kWh/h before and consider it to be on a whole other level of messed up. And that was in a country that uses the metric system.

Is this a frame perfect trick?

It was clamped on my old machine. Replacing the seal was pretty doable.

I can't remember what I expected but it was pretty straightforward. Having someone else to help was beneficial.

Maybe they are not too keen to get hit with an antitrust case.

If I were still using mice at home and wouldn't have another solution for the numpad, I'd strongly consider one. But probably the curved variant.

I'd assume that to be the case because it allows lefties to use the numpad with their strong hand.

Ah, that sounds easier. Thanks for the explanation!

By pre-tinning one of the pads on the board, placing the ic and reheating while pressing it down? Then the other pads one after another?

The top of the soldering iron probably looks huge next to the transistor. :D

Or just a bit of fancy sand.

Depends on the perspective:

For people working with semiconductors: a few chunks of impure silicon.

For electrical engineers usually a switch that's controlled by a voltage (or charge if you're pretentious). And rarely an amplifier.

For computer scientists: the thing to puzzle logic gates with.

I really like the idea, especially for a language with type inference. Have you thought about mixing in a few questions with lifetimes?

I'd like to try it if you decide to make it available somewhere. :)

The Switch comes with SMA connectors? Truly an upgrade when it comes to I/O.

Chat is this true?

App stores on Android or iOS work like this and I've never seen someone struggling with that.

But I can see that UI polish may be lacking on Linux (to varying degrees) and how that makes a big difference.

Clicking "update all" or having automatic updates enabled doesn't look too complicated to me.

The lack of commercial software is not a problem with Linux itself. More a problem caused by its current market share.

I think I'll give it a shot. :)
My current worksheet is to use Chromium for PWAs only. But this has its own drawbacks.
