<p>I use bookmarklets for a number of simple things.<p>My most used is to copy text where the formatting has been stripped, the bookmarklet prepends formatting instructions, and then I paste the whole thing into claude which sorts the formatting.<p>Me thinks I've underestimated what can be done with these.</p>

<p>Yes I agree. This idea differs from an OS dependent shortcut in that here the mouse firmware would generate movement data. Not possible before now.</p>

<p>I use Tiller. They take the transaction history from your linked bank accounts and store it in a google spreadsheet for you. That's it. $99 a year.<p>From there I unleashed claude on my spending habits. I'm only a few months in so I'm more focused on financial hygiene.</p>

<p>The number of buttons on ergonomic mice is excessive. More than 3 is too much. So I'm sitting there wondering what else you could use them for: a random squiggler to keep the mouse moving and your monitor active when you want a break.</p>

<p>Replacing components like a phone screen, yeah - but not the kind of thing the OP is talking about.
More like replacing a worn USB-C port on a random motherboard using a soldering iron, hot air station, and microscope, or tracking down an unknown failed component on a circuit board, or swapping a random surface-mount Motorola chip in the ECU of your early-2000s car. Sometimes there’s a whole market square where every shop specializes in one of these things.<p>And it's not that expensive.</p>

<p>Does the website reference net or gross monthly income?<p>Edit:<p>So the numbers are not a direct exchange rate to USD.<p>Q: How were dollar values assigned to households?
A: The households’ door numbers represent the consumption values (US dollars) that each adult in the household has per month. This figure comes from a combination of the household’s self-reported consumption and income levels. We then checked the official cost of living data in each country to adjust the values for purchasing power parity (PPP) and converted the value into US dollars. Read more about how we assigned the Dollar Street values here.</p>

<p>I'm sure there's better options now but the HP ProLiant MicroServers (used).<p>They support ECC ram, 4 caddies, one extra PCIe slot, and to my knowledge you're not cpu limited for a zfs file server usecase.<p>Keep in mind though, all you need is linux* support, iDRAC, ECC if you're a snob, and drive bays ... and that's basically any free server.<p>In my extremely opinionated opinion I would only get used enterprise server gear, because a zfs file server will just work unless hardware fails. And a UPS.<p>*ZFS will be a more natural choice on FreeBSD. It's better documented, and will meet Linux 1:1 in hardware compatibility for this.</p>

<p>IANAS but my understanding is they keep going upstream - while there's current to push against them - as an instinctual response. I believe water temperature also plays a role.<p>Salmon hatcheries also artificially boost the quantity of salmon in the stream.<p>If a salmon hatchery released salmon at the base of a dam, when the fish return and the dam was now gone, they'd just keep going.<p>However, there's more to it than this, because dammed rivers lacking salmon hatcheries have seen salmon runs start once the dams are removed.<p>I don't think the old adage that salmon will only return to their original spawning grounds is the whole story.</p>
