So forgetting my power supply home has never been an issue in the past, for instance. Our IT would replace the original batteries with some extra(?) and super powered(?) batteries. And yes, it was quite heavy, but far more practical than carrying dangling cables all around, AND you could not forget your "power" since it was IN the laptop :-D Since I usually do not carry anything else than my laptop when I have to move it, the extra weight was not an issue. It was a Lenovo, cannot tell you anymore which ref exactly. I miss it veeeery much, I even postponed the normal 3-year-replacement-rate by 2 years to keep it. It unfortunately died from an electrical shock from a failing power supply (how ironical) which short circuited something and had the motherboard die - I did not even think that this was still possible with all protections they have now, but it was :( Do not escape reality : improve reality !

    Sure, logically 'milliarcsecond' (or 'arcmillisecond') makes sense, but is that a unit that us commonly used in contemporary astronomy?

    Similar experience here using Adobe Dreamweaver. Context opening an html file through a shortcut on my desktop choosing the app used to open the page in SplitCode view but for ... like ... some strange reason, this morning, it opens them in Code view, much to my chagrin. I mean pleasure. I think it must have been someone here on codeproject sending me an aluminium-foil hat after yesterday's self-reference to my discovery that that cloud turned out to be the moon.

    I've been building my own PCs for nearly 30 years, until this year. A few months ago the CPU fan started making a lot of racket on my 13 year-old machine, and since it would have been hard to find a replacement, and the CPU didn't meet Win 11's requirements, I started looking at NewEgg and other places and pricing things. Turns out I could buy a brand new Dell with everything I needed for about 2/3 what it would have cost me to build it myself. I do my music recording on my Mac now so I don't need a powerhouse (though I still bought one with an i7 and 16 GB memory, you never know what I might need it for some day) so buying the Dell made sense. There are no solutions, only trade-offs.    - Thomas Sowell A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.    - Calvin (Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes)

    It will make it easier for the military/etc to build malware while retaining the original functionality of the program. Next they will ask that the new version of the exe should generate the same MD5 and SHA2 hashes.
