My aunt has very spotty internet in her house, so a transfer would be quite a bit faster than downloading for bigger apps.

docx is just a zip of xml files. if you add some hooks to git, you could make it unzip it, commit the xml files, then when checking out rezip it into a docx automatically.

But the job description was looking for a “god killer”, not a “not-god killer”. Who could have expected the PC would be both?

It’s quite a bit more then that actually… https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/terms/firefox/ states

You give Mozilla all rights necessary to operate Firefox, including processing data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice, as well as acting on your behalf to help you navigate the internet. When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

A very broad, basically unrestricted license to any and all input you make (mouse clicks, keystrokes, file uploads, …) for a very vague purpose.

Additionally, it says you ought to follow the Mozilla Acceptable Use Policy which includes not at all problematic things like

• no illegal stuff. Illegal where? We don’t know! (Do anything illegal or otherwise violate applicable law)
• sending a message to someone without asking first. How? We don’t know! (… send unsolicited communications …)
• no troll account, no parody accounts (Deceive, mislead, defraud, phish, or commit or attempt to commit identity theft)
• no illegal gambling. Again, illegal where? Who knows! (Engage in or promote illegal gambling)
• don’t buy controlled drugs, even if a doctor prescribed them (Sell, purchase, or advertise illegal or controlled products or services)
• no porn, no LGBT memes (Upload, download, transmit, display, or grant access to content that includes graphic depictions of sexuality or violence)
• no torrents, no youtube downloads (Violate the copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights of others)

What a fun and totally sensible list of restrictions for a “free” web browser to have.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned so far i think: enterprise server hardware often has some form of remote management built in. This allows you to remotely start/stop your server, access the console, or even set up another OS without having to physically go to the server. You can add similar features to consumer-grade hardware, but they aren’t as advanced.

Portal travel isn’t toxic. However, ground up moon rocks, which are an almost perfect portal conductor, are very bad for you.

i remember powertoys offering tiling for win10

I accidentally interrupted a system upgrade, breaking networking and package manager, among other important bits

Indeed! In my example, I have this IKEA LED Strip above my kitchen working area, and the power supply is integrated with the plug. There are multiple choices for power supply, but to my knowledge all of them are socketed.

permanently installed lamps with a socketed power supply that sticks like 10cm out of the wall.

Perhaps adjacent/lower apartments are heated and are leaking enough heat to you.

Well of course HDGAF, it was deflated.
