For me AppData\Local\Temp in the users folder was the culprit with slow boot. Deleting it solved it for me. It probably is safe to delete, but check https://superuser.com/questions/571901/is-it-safe-to-delete-.... That said, I'll probably ditch Windows as well if I can find a suitable solution for remote desktop.

You mean HVAC, lighting, shipping (half across the globe probably) isn't involved in purchasing a new thing?

Yeah, right. Just this morning I learned that Window 10 is EOL next year. Also my pc wasn't fit for Windows 11. Tried to figure out why, but all I got was a redirection to a website that tried to convince me that I should buy a new computer. My pc isn't that old.

I couldn't find Microsoft Teams on the Microsoft app store today. Maybe they should fix that first.

Or, maybe, this mouth-brain link is caused by these traumatic events.

To clarify, the Dutch are the tallest people in the world.

There's a nice little Ted talk by David Gallo about life in the ocean. Most of it is about what cephalopods can do. It's really amazing: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_gallo_underwater_astonishmen...

Yes, two players lost on time.

India just lost to Russia in the final of the firstever online chess olympiad, probably due to connection issues of two of its players. I wonder if it's related to this incident and if the organizers are aware. Edit: the organizers are aware, and Russia and India have now been declared joint winner.

If you change your mind you can always get the feet for $299.

The premise of this essay is that workers should benefit from automation, not owners/stockholders. In your case, workers do benefit in some way, like less boredom, but do they work 15 hours a week instead of 50?

Since no one has mentioned them I just wanted to add "The Canterbury Tales" by Chaucer and "Beowulf" to the list. I've both read them in high school and liked them very much.

Yes, this robot scrubs plates before putting them into a dishwasher. That's really unnecessary and it does it extremely slow. Here's a video of someone showing how fast it can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx-aak2zK_Y

Falsehoods programmers believe about UX: 1. Blue text on black background is very readable.

Thank you!

I never really understand this. From the Wikipedia link: "At a constant acceleration of 1 g, a rocket could travel the diameter of our galaxy in about 12 years ship time, and about 113,000 years planetary time." But that's from the frame of reference of planet earth. If you are on the spaceship, earth will be moving away from you so time on earth will appear to be slower than your time. So if you come back to earth you will appear younger than should be to the people that stayed, but to you people that stayed will appear younger than should be. Frames of reference are equivalent, aren't they? Maybe I'm rambling, but I can't figure this out.

And he sets /org/gnome/shell/disable-user-extensions to false which means he enables extensions. I think these kind of options should be called something like /org/gnome/shell/ENable-user-extensions to avoid mistakes like this.
