The problem would be solved if these scales would take a AAA battery which has a lot more capacity than a tiny cell.

I seriously don't understand why Apple won't make server macs, with proper server features like IPMI, rack mounting support, virtualization. As a software developer, macs are horrible to work with.

Beyond the nightmare that is code signing and certificates (required even for debug builds), the physical devices are special snowflakes. Getting them to play nicely in a CI/CD system is really difficult. They often freeze or misbehave requiring physical access to fix. Also, if you want to target older OS X or iOS versions, you need to use an older version of XCode (that Apple makes really difficult to find) and an older version of MacOS.

There are many other use cases beyond software development, such as render farms, network storage, backup etc.

NetGuard just outright blocks network access. Apps can't send tracking data if they are not able to access the servers. I'm using it in whitelist mode where I only allow access to apps that need it.

The internet when it wasn't overtaken by a few major corporations.

There is the LTSC version (not sure if 11 is released yet, but 10 definitely is) which is basically debloated windows. Made by Microsoft, and targeted towards embedded devices.

That would be terrible for worldwide peace and stability. US has too much power and influence for an implosion to not cause worldwide chaos. Trump would mean US siding with other dictatorships, like Russia, China, Iran. Russia would likely succeed in Eastern Europe. Taiwan would likely be occupied by China. NATO vs an alliance made of US, Russia and China would be very uncomfortable.

The RPI400 is basically a full solution. You just need a display and a mouse, and you have a fully functional desktop computer. Not very powerful, but good enough for basic tasks like writing documents or browsing the web, coding etc.

Low end phones aren't that bad, if you are willing to make some sacrifices, like an uglier screen, worse camera.

For example, the Samsung Galaxy A05

A full working computer, more powerful than what we used to go to the moon, and using less power than a light bulb.

It can take many forms, like smartphones, SBCs or older PCs/laptops.

The tape head is basically a small and really sensitive electromagnet. Magnetized tape creates small disturbances in the magnetic signal. Amplify those disturbances and you get sound. Similar to an antenna, but only works in close proximity.

This also works in reverse. Feed an audio signal through the electromagnet, and the electromagnet will create the disturbances in whatever is next to it. You can do this to record to a tape, or you can do this to pass sound to another tape head, which is how these aux cassettes work.

You can build one yourself really easily. Just take the tape head from a broken player and solder to an aux cable. Take a cassette, remove the tape, and put the tape head in the middle portion so it comes into contact with the player tape head.

~~The tech~~ industry shouldn’t be dominated by a few companies.

FTFY

Also the patent office needs to employ actual specialists and reject the bullshit patents, like rounded rectangles.
