I read they knew about steam power for a long time but couldn't make the engines / containers / doohickies strong enough to contain the pressure.
Actually the floon goes inside the zargnix. Duh.
My main worry is that if I lose my phone or it's stolen, especially if I'm overseas,I won't be able to access a lot of sites due to the 2 factor authentication. A lot of sites don't have alternative 2fa methods, only SMS or through the app. I've been trying to think of a way to access these sites if overseas and my phone gets lost or stolen, the only thing I can think of is to take my sim out and hide it, and buy a local sim when in a new country. If I need 2FA I put in my old sim, but for day to day stuff use the local sim. If the phone gets stolen / lost, I've not lost the 2FA capability.
I think we all assume that any actor with a decent recurring role in a hit TV show is earning thousands an episode. I often look up actors on IMDB while I'm watching something where I know I've seen them before, and it's amazing how many times you see they have gone years without being in anything. Some may be doing theatre, but a lot of familiar faces are often only in 1 thing a year, or go a couple of years without being in anything then have 2-3 episodes. I really feel it's not a viable career for most. Yet the execs make millions. This actor - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2895488/?ref_=tt_cl_t_12 - Susan Park, for example. She was in the first Fargo TV series in 2014, 5 episodes, which is where I remember her from. Then between 2014 and 2020 she was in a total of 29 TV episodes. Let's be generous and say she earned $10000 per episode. That's only $48333 a year on average. And 11 of those were 2016-2017, so between 2017 and 2020 she was in 6 episodes. She then was cast in Snowpiercer in 2020 and has been in other stuff since (High Desert most recently). She also did some minor film roles, I doubt the pay was much for those. So this is an actor I recognise who has been in some major TV shows, yet is out of work a lot.
I posted the same movie before seeing this. I wish they would make a TV series of these books instead of Foundation. I thought the movie was a good robot movie, but was very disappointed that it didn't follow the books.
I, Robot - extremely disappointed that it didn't follow the books, but I've watched it several times and if you pretend it came out under a different title it's a good robot movie.
When I went to see this in the theatre, I was the only one there. Only time it's ever happened.
I just bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M710Q Mini Tiny Desktop PC Computer i5 6400T 1TB SSD Win 10 Pro from Ebay for $289 AUD and plugged in some oldish external SSDs and HDDs and now have 10TB of storage. I'm really pleased with it, it took about half an hour to install Proxmox and I've now got 5 VMs up and running.
I wouldn't recommend a WD My Cloud Home - it's not a NAS as such, it's a bit limited; I'd go for a Synology. or One Drive as you suggest - a 1TB plan is quite reasonable with regards to cost.
I had a 2010 Macbook Pro that I was about to throw away a couple of years ago because it was unusable - beach ball of death constantly. I bought a 500GB SSD for around $70 AUD, went on YouTube and about an hour later booted up; it was like a new laptop. I eventually chucked it earlier this year because the battery had it and I didn't want to spend any more on it.
I hope one day we will be able to charge devices without plugging them in - even if the amount of charge is small, it might be able to trickle charge all the time.
I had a 10 year old Macbook Pro that was really slow, I put in an SSD and it was transformed. Not expensive and plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it.
