Multiple GPUs work fine in Linux. You can have one playing a game while you wait for the others to finish the real work.

This is why you never rely on cloud storage. It can be the third copy in your 3-2-1 backup, but should absolutely never be the only copy.

If it's not FOSS, I don't want it.

Wacom tablets should work with KDE and Wayland. They work great with X11 though.

Good, that's the way it should be.

The local ISP has been promising fiber for over a decade. They waited until Starlink took most of their customers before they started putting it in.

The Ampere CPUs are nice. They have lots of cores running at a high clock speed, lots of PCIe lanes and socketed ECC RAM.

5G in rural America is terrible. I can't make a phone call in my house, let alone get an internet connection. I'm not even in a particularly remote area.

There are Starlink dishes everwhere you look here because it's currently the only real option. It will probably be a while until they get some competition from Amazon.

You don't even need a CNC machine. Basic hand tools and some pipe are enough to make a zip gun.

It's a good thing I saved the 24GB of DDR3-1600 from my old laptop. I might actually be able to get some money for it.

You can even buy a USB adapter to connect an 8 inch floppy drive to a modern PC and read 50 year old disks if you want to.

If the battery cooks off inside the data center, it will do some damage. The amount of water that will be required to put it out will do even more damage.
