No. They will just use the $10 card and leave. They will prey on the fact that "get a gift card for your computer troubles" is something a legitimate company has done.

Buy a $10 Xbox gift card and send us the code so that we can activate it. Then you get back to the shop and get $20 in cash - $10 for returning the card and $10 from us. We'll pay the tax, too.

Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom

The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term "open source".

Yes, get yourself eclipse glasses, a pinhole projector, a floppy disk, digital camera or whatever allows you to observe the eclipse safely – no phenomenon is worth risking your eyesight over. However, the consensus is that you can watch the sun flares without protection during totality. The totality lasted 0 to 4 minutes depending on your location.

...and ignore one of the coolest things there is to see on the sky

A solar or lunar eclipse?

Is this by Inspirobot? Its most-upvoted quote on r/inspirobot uses the same image.

Areas with loam touch all three sides. So... Some kind of loam exists without sand, some without clay and some without silt. I am not a soil scientist but I'd guess that any substance that contains neither is a kind of loam.

First sentence of my post, for this very reason – they own the franchise, after all. The law may also change the other way but that's very unlikely to happen in the US within 50 years.

I wonder if they could develop a system of draconian DRM (only their own theatres with metal detectors, personalized online streams...) and mildly edit movies every few decades so that they can destroy the original and effectively renew copyright. The gaming industry’s always-online DRM makes nuking a release possible but copyright lasts for about 20 console generations (we’ve only had 8 so far!) so they don't even have to do that.

I think that at least the sub-title "Episode IV: A New Hope" was added in that DVD release... Anyway, a "4K77" scan of a 1977 film reel distributed directly by the studio exists, it's just noisy and needed color correction.
