Never expected to see Freddie King mentioned on HN! What a great performer.
When I worked at a university's tech support, this was a recurring problem. People made grade lists in Excel, then imported them into the digital learning environment, which occasionally was set to a different language. This meant that the decimal point would be disregarded, and e.g. an 8.5/10 would be imported as an 85 (which got clamped to 10). Maximum grades for everyone, confused students and teachers :')

Seems there are two variants of the M1 chip in the MacBook Air, one with 7 GPU cores and one with 8. Wonder why that is the case.
