The more often you change a password, the stronger it becomes.

I beg you pardon. I'm not cheap, but I'm also not employed. You want cheap so you get it.

From iPhone into local machine through LocalSend or AirDrop, then your usual favorite backup pipeline.

That's tedious. Can't believe nobody mentioned Parachute Backup yet. It had a moment in the sun earlier this year or last year when it first started getting traction.

I have a Mac, so not just an iPhone, so I use Arq there, it materializes the iCloud stuff as necessary for backup. But if all you have is an iPhone or iPad along with an external disk, NAS or whatever, Parachute Backup will do backups to a variety of destinations.

That era started with Window 8 when Microsoft wanted the same UI and UX on laptops and tablets. Amalgamation of physical keys with touch screens. Apple's Touch Bar was somehow a symptom or even culmination of it. It's over and let's forget it ever existed.

Automotive seems to have its Windows 8 moment right now.

Most of weird European and Middle Eastern legends and fairy tales originate from drugs or encountering real artifacts or phenomenons which they couldn't explain. Look up how cyclops appeared in mythology.

In case you're wondering like me, I think parent is referring to elephant skulls being mistaken for one-eyed, giant creatures.

Ancient Greeks were finding skulls of dwarf elephants during masonry works and quarrying in Sicily.

I assume the global mythology around dragons comes from finding dinosaur bones

Well, eastern dragons always reminded me more of a giant oarfish. And some central europe dragons weren't that far off, being described as flying snakes.

I think "every culture has a dragon" is kinda misleading.

"Every culture has a creature that got translated as a dragon" seems closer to the truth. The creatures themselves have a great variety between them.

Seems like many bones would do. Whales would be a lot more common i imagine.

Wasn't that later debunked though?

You mean about there being no Cyclopes? They got to you too, huh?

which could imply that gnome outfits and elf garb originated from people seeing them and then drawing it

An app which could have been a website.

Is it not?

> Instead, it is essentially an MSN Weather web app built on Microsoft's WebView2 framework. Task Manager shows multiple Chromium-based subprocesses running simultaneously, which contributes to the unusually high RAM usage.

It is literally the MSN Weather website packaged as a WebView2 app.

I don’t know if this is sarcastic. A lot of bloat in GUI apps is because they are built as websites with a bloated front end, dependencies, custom fonts plus the binary compiled code and the decompressed images cached by the browser.

> The physics is non-trivial and, based on the drawings, offsetting the center of the wheel from the axis of thw wheel being turned was not a thing.

There is whole physics around it and even legal regulations [1].

Looking at the state of stomatology and medicine back then early velocipedes and bicycles were indeed mad. I wouldn't get on any of it earlier that sometime 1910s, once the safety bicycle was somehow perfected.

Year 2014 and we can't even get a color photo from a comet.

Comet colours would be extremely bland and boring to a human eye (and to the regular cameras we use on Earth) - the Sun is far, no atmosphere to have meaningful shades of grey, and the material they are made of is not really vibrant at all. The budget is better spent on instuments and the cameras that capture images in the invisible spectrum (which could be always false-colorized into colorful "photos" of galaxies and nebulae we are all used to see)

It worked out. Philae lander with harpoons was comparably complex but mostly failed unfortunately.

I have the same with my email address. There seriously exist people out there who think that if they start to give away everywhere an email address, this email address will become theirs. Then there are many service providers and institutions who don't verify an email but simply start sending stuff to it.
