Yeah, it was kinda the stuff of nightmares. I think it actually... fused .... some things together.

Yes. So much yes.
Sure, at least half of the FAANG use Linux. But they use a homegrown Linux flavor often maintained by an entire dedicated team. Not some random ass Ubuntu or Mint ISO you downloaded; these images are custom tailored to the workflows, dev needs, security needs, and even package management needs of the corporation. They often carry a complete profile template that integrates with whatever they've chosen to enforce authentication, have a lavish on-board remote monitoring system, you name it.
Uhhh...great? I'm happy you had a good experience? But the data and programs over the last few years disagree with your assertion here.

Are all homeless folks users that leave needles lying around? Statistically, no, of course not. Is it a likely correlation? The data is above for you to draw your own conclusions.
Not safe enough. Give it another decade; I'm sure they'll get around to ruining it by then.
Ah, yes, what a nice way to be sliced into a thousand pieces at once if you trip. Even more fun if they get knocked out of their retention mode.
Is there a rubbing alcohol dispenser that sprays from the adjacent room after you go through? In case the first set of blood-curdling screams aren't loud enough.
Saw that myself for the first time last night. Surprisingly atrocious. And WTH happened to the shadows around it? Did I just visit it on an overcast day?
The trees themselves would be right at home in a game from the early 2000s. Frickin' Planetside 2, the game infamous for its indestructible trees and graphics from 10 years ago, has better looking flora assets.
I will also go as far to say it looks as if the game was designed for HDR, but due to lack of time, they just compressed the range, capped it about 10% below the normal maximum to leave some breathing room, and called it a day. Even the flashlight looks washed out at times.
In other news, IBM is still in the cloud game, stares angrily at Oracle ahead of it.
I'd like to think that half the crew died along the way, and it got to the point where promotions were being handed out just to keep the ranks filled.
"Shit, we lost another commander. Lets promote one of the remaining lietenants and....hey, Harry, how do you feel about getting another pip?"
Did you actually watch the video?
He literally presents a list of reasons around 5:12. Then he goes on to describe how formaldehyde already affects him.
Resin priting can be a lot of fun, but he's correct: that shit is toxic. It needs to be respected, and he's also correct in pointing out the carbon filter on many printers is basically a placebo for the consumer.
Still don't believe him? Fine. Go checkout the small book that is the set of warnings with this stuff from a resin producer: https://entropyresins.com/safety/epoxy-safety-tips/
Yeah, that was a good one. Worf got that plant petal on him after the away mission, and boom: Wordi.
"Number one, you can't build that now. Those tanks just took out your north power supply."
"Captain, I assure you I can build the radar. I only need five units to-"
"THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!"
Windows 11 is trash. Microsoft kept boasting it was "faster" than 10, but it is (unsurprisingly?) heavy in some weird areas, including a less snappy start menu, more telemetry, invasive integration with their software, you name it. Tried one machine in my collection to try it via an upgrade (a Microsoft Surface Pro 6), and the performance was so bad I ended up going back to Windows 10. Multi-second lag just to get to the program shortcuts is a really bad sign.
