As an author of a PDF library this is hilarious, because the number of bugs I have received over the years where this is unintentionally happening is quite high.

I find that the watts are not the same on the Peloton vs Kickr. Watts seem to read lower on the Peloton. What is your take?

Any plans to use the Open Graph tags and also fetch images?

This is similar to my project: http://www.dodolabs.io/ Which is a retro 6502 portable game console.

I think that tape-like piece that you removed from the SSD compartment is actually the thermal pad that makes contact between the SSD and the MSI heat sink cover so you may actually want that!

My friends just moved to Pittsburgh and bought a great house for 108k. This is literally 95% less than a comparable home in Silicon Valley.

Kind of plugging my own project here, but I too am a software developer that found great joy from breaking away from all the layers of abstraction and working directly with the hardware. I created a portable game system with the 6502:

I had a fun bug once where some functionality involving self sign certificates stopped working on Feb 29th. It came down to us simply adding +10 to the year for the expiration. There is no Feb 29th 10 years into the future, only 4, 8, 12, etc... That was a good lesson on why to always use a date library when adding or subtracting time. We weren't the only ones... Azure went down for the same reason that day.

Would this be a suitable replacement for SpiderMonkey as an embedded JS engine for a Desktop Application?

The best part is if you click Contact Support on that 500 page, it goes to a 500 page.
