The money was to build fabs, which they are still doing - which is costing them most of their money they struggle to afford because their current chips are awful.

Their fabs may be shit too. Hopefully the new ones are better

I sometimes wish that studios would sell their cancelled games to smaller studios that could, if they got it cheap touch it up and release them in some form.

Loads of effort is being wasted for no gain

What is their monetisation plan? Currently they don't seem to have anything other than donations?

I would split digital privacy from the foss and Linux discussions. They attract the same people, but are fundamentally different topics.

It also means you could get deeper into the digital privacy topic which is more useful to most people.

For the digital privacy one, ask for a volunteer (or do you!) ahead of time and get them to do GDPR requests for apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc. sanitizer anything they want to hide, but do a demo of what big tech actually knows about them.

Then go though how to prevent that and have a discussion on the pros and cons of that data collection. (Eg I don't care about Google data tracking as I find the Google location history really useful)

This posts entire comment chain is an interesting example of people that have extensive knowledge in completely different areas of programming to me. And have some concepts I had never heard/thought of.

Possibly expansion relief? They get some pretty wild temperature swings.

The longer jack makes it less likely to break. It also spins freely so doesn't suffer from rotation stress.

If my aux port breaks, that's annoying, if my usb port breaks it's e-waste.

If it's just for lurking, look for a small one to help spread the load.

Try the one I'm on if your into sci-fi or fantasy
