Glue two on top of your flip flops. You now unlocked the floppy flip flops
That’s it! Thank you!
We like to mix water and electricity anyway, like pipewire
Do you need a ride?
It must feel rejuvenating coming out of it every day
The Cobalt doesn’t really sell where I live, at least I have never seen one. I had to duckduckgo it

Special is what others would use if they perceive you as you do yourself, which they might not… They might not even care and neither should you
Spaghetti when I want to upset Italians. Truth is it’s pretty good
If you can afford and you want, the only argument I can put forward is less ewaste if you give a second life to the many very decent professional thinkpads that are retired every year. My employer is now going for a 5 year renewal cycle, used to be 3 for a long time. Unfortunately I couldn’t even buy back mine when it expired because it is a lease subcontract. It had an i5 7th gen and 32gb ram, was buttery smooth even running windows and I dreamt of running Linux on these.
The almighty all-encompassing gate to Windows Vista
I mean I had the programme running for 10 years, donating whenever it was on and idle or on a low load. It was not necessary to be perfectly idle, the programme could take just e.g. 50% of the CPU. (Famously on a core2duo running programmes that were not multi-core). All in all my computer was probably on 12 hours per day
I forgot there is also the SETI@home project working on the same principle. Searching Extra Terrestrial Intelligence 👽👽👽
Thank you for enlightening on the folding aspect!
It’s basically a software you install to donate your computer’s idle power (ie typicallywhen the CPU does nothing) to help scientists with the huge amount of calculations that simulating the folding of protein requires and that not even the best supercomputers can achieve alone in a reasonable time. It’s distributed science. I’ll admit I still don’t grasp what folding means in the context of proteins. The programme folding@home started around 2000 and is still running ie you can still donate CPU time today
Ah that would be my second
