There are SATA SSD enclosures for M.2 drives. Those are cheap enough now that granny can still upgrade her old PC on the cheap.

Link? An adapter allowing a M.2 SATA SSD to be used in a 2.5" SATA enclosure is cheap and dead simple: just needs a 5V to 3.3V regulator. But that doesn't help. Connecting a M.2 NVMe SSD to a SATA host port would be much more exotic, and I don't recall ever hearing about someone producing the silicon necessary to make that work.

Do you mean something like nmap's network topolgy view? https://nmap.org/book/zenmap-topology.html

Just for visualizing network topology on Linux, there's a lot of tools.

I'm not very proficient nor really need office apps in my day to day use but I've heard good things about OnlyOffice should LibreOffice not meet your needs.

I've used OnlyOffice, the UI is much closer to modern Office and generally feels more polished, and the compatibility is meant to be better as well

So does KDE's Dolphin and many others on Linux. Linux had tabs on file explorers well before Explorer did as well as virtual desktops, app stores, and a few other things that Windows didn't have but later implemented.

Right. It seems that maybe gp wasn't aware.

I'm not sure about SSR currently but Kooha and KDE's own Spectacle work on Wayland fine. I'm running Plasma 6.5 on Arch and very pleased with it.

Didn't know Spectacle can do screen recordings now. Just tried it: The "New Recording" button seems to be broken. It does nothing. No error message on the terminal even. Maybe it only works under Wayland?

Yeah same here. Kind of shitty.

OBS Studio still works fortunately.

>Linux's moto "freedom of choice" falls apart >Using the workaround for X it run faster and stable

I think your post proves opposite.

The latest Plasma version still includes the X session. This post concerns the upcoming version, which takes away your choice of using the X session.

>Still far, far too complex to occur "randomly," which is fascinating

I don't see the word "random" anywhere in the article. By random maybe you mean it's seemingly indeterministic? Regardless of the nature of the underlying process, at the classical level, the environment acts as a deterministic filter, ie, other chemical processes.

For those of us who don't have many options other than satellite internet, it generally uses CG-NAT, specifically Starlink.

Probably something like Boy Interrupted[0]. Sad story and something I can sympathize with having some of the same feelings very early on despite having a rather normal upbringing and siblings not showing signs of it.

But doing what is in one's best interest isn't necessarily the more intelligent decision. In a rat society, the more "intelligent" rats can possibly be better at acquiring resources to survive if selective pressure is put upon those with such talents but can just as well be early signifiers of 'behavioral sinks'[0]. Not to mention, certain illnesses, mental and otherwise can change motive regardless of IQ.

Actions don't necessarily dictate intelligence. The goal of life has to be defined to make such arguments. For example, using a maze as an analog you could argue the more intelligent person can arrive to the end faster and more elegantly but with life, it has no such defined and agreed on ends. If we're arguing that selfishness is a sign of intelligence then that view is quite myopic.
