I got my copy in a Kelloggs cereal box. Those were simpler times

I’m gonna download this to my iPhone, just in case.

Try and stop me, Tim Apple!

I’m in NZ, we are 2 working adults with 2 kids in daycare, living in a tiny 2 bedroom place. We cook everything from scratch, rice/beans/lentils/potatoes/etc. We scrape by, but we’re one accident away from destitute. We can’t downsize any more, it’s a lot harder out there for some than many realise

I don’t know much, but the govt could encourage R&D through grants particularly for new players. I know of a few people who did research for masters/PHDs that ended up going to Aus to carry cos there was no money to fund them continuing locally

This is me with the Hymn of the Faith from FFX

Don’t forget kitchen scales!

I do think New Zealand’s emphasis on primary industries is shortsighted, but it seems it’s always been that way. Any business in other sectors that gets big enough ends up moving headquarters overseas. And I think NZ is losing ground as certain markets move towards fewer Ag focused food products like meat alternatives. NZ has a lot of expertise in the food technology but it gets lost overseas because opportunities for bleeding edge food science are basically non existent in NZ unless you want to go into the Agricultural sector

I’m not sure if they all do, but some models also support a daughter board for additional IO. Often it’s DisplayPort but I’ve seen ones with Ethernet and DB9/RS232 on AliExpress/ebay

Some of the HP DeskMini machines might be a good one. There’s a model that has 2 x m.2 for a little high speed network storage or as a HTPC.

If I did, I guarantee every item in my life held together with screws will work its way loose out of spite, and that’s not a risk I’m willing to take

Just like the box of screws my great grand father passed down to my grand father, then to my father and finally to me. This multigenerational collection of screws from goodness knows where will keep growing until I bestow it on the heir to my estate.

I finally upgraded my R5-1600 to a … R5-3600 Modern hardware is just too damn expensive, and AMD are the GOA for making our old hardware have a good life
