If Amazon sales of “MP3 players” are indicative it’s simmering; I see a handful with over 1-2K sales per month (assuming we can trust those numbers, it is Amazon after all). I imagine it’s going to be a bit muted for a while due to the memory and storage price gouging and that may push more people towards CD’s, which are already seeing a resurgence.

I’ve not seen one thus far here on the Fediverse. If you haven’t already, check out this site which has some exhaustive instructions for working with the BC-250 - it was invaluable when I got mine!

Quite true; this seems to be the standard practice, however, for companies when they want to keep the high prices hidden from casual viewing and commentary.

A student who graduated from my high school had their admission to a university rescinded for things they said and did in a Facebook group for accepted students.

They don’t want the bad press of openly gouging people for that, especially with how bad prices are already.

If you want a smaller stepping stone, check out LMDE!

From a quick look at the documentation, if the hardware has WiFi capability you can configure OPNsense to be an access point as well. Personally, I keep the two separate: I have a small N200-based box as my OPNsense router and a separate access point running OpenWRT for the wifi devices on my network.

Oh, they have KDE in their repo, it’s just not the out-of-box default.

If you’re okay with something other than vanilla Debian, give Linux Mint Debian Edition a look. I used it for years without significant hiccups playing a wide variety of games. I switched to Bazzite after testing it out and liking the immutable aspects of it (though as another commenter mentioned, there is some pain involved in the learning curve), but I still keep LMDE around on my old gaming rig and on a couple other computers of mine.

I’m assuming they mean those with 401k’s or other managed retirement accounts.

Transliteration of the Russian vs Ukranian (the one used in the article) iirc.

There was indeed an earlier Prey game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)

Perhaps Earthsiege and Earthsiege 2; I played those a ton back in the day. Also, I haven’t thought of Castle of the Winds in years, that brought back a pleasant wave of nostalgia!

I recently updated my LMDE 6 install to 7, no issues thus far for me.

That stood out to me, too; I wonder if that model assumes the shrinkage of the Pacific reverses when the Atlantic starts to close. strange. I also didn’t see them try to account for the rifting in Africa, perhaps they assume that will fail to complete like the North American one did

This scenario is one possible projection; it assumes the eventual development of a subduction zone in the West Atlantic that would overcome the spreading at the mid Atlantic ridge, eventually sealing the basin. I don’t understand the mechanisms well enough to know how that prediction was made, so someone with more experience on the subject can chime in.

Agreed, Chris is such a great musician.

Here’s to hoping they learned their lesson from SotS, but I’m not holding my breath.
