>Nuclear weaponry is offensive in nature

It's also a deterrence.

I just use a usb switch to switch keyboard and mouse. For display input switching , I bought couple of dell ips monitors that allow switching via keyboard hot keys.

I don’t mind shorts. Especially when I have a few minutes to kill or just want something playing on a side Monitor. Just wish it would auto scroll to the next one without requiring an extension.

Not too long ago, a few gigabytes of data being stolen was a big friggin deal. Now they're swiping data in the terabytes or even petabytes.

thanks, that's probably the best animation I've seen explaining a tidal locked moon.

That one pic with Solar eclipse is amazing. Especially with the visible stars in the background. it's rare to see a pic from a man missioned with stars being visible in the background.

Nope. Maybe a cheeseburger and mother nature.

Do you honestly believe that by repurposing money from missions like these would suddenly free up money for text books? That’s not how it works. Especially not in 2026.

Many said the same thing during the G.W Bush years. Nothing happened.

North Korea executes its own citizens and anyone that speaks out against the Kim regime. It also has nukes and even occasionally even fires missiles over our allys. I can name a few other countries that have harshly responded against protestors in recent years. Why aren’t we attacking them? Trump vowed that the U.S will no longer be the world police. Using your rational , this is the U.S being the police. Disclaimer - I voted for Trump believing what he said about staying out of conflicts like these. I’ve come to the realization that I made a mistake.

Thanks for sharing. This was an amazing read. I’d love to see novels with similar style stories about speculative near future tech and world.

>Just let me use my own keyboard/mouse

Isn't that already possible if you plugin a keyboard/mouse via a USB-C dongle/hub?

Yeah, I think that's a assumption Apple made that most AppleTV devices would be in the same household where people can simply use the streaming app's ability to switch profiles. That sucks if you have roommates that pay for their own streaming subscriptions or the AppleTV device is in a common area such a dormitory. I suppose they could solve this by allowing ad-hoc profiles if AppleTV and user's IOS device is on the same network.

Nowadays its possible to just 3d print the case. They even sell PLA filament to match color.

That worked for me. Got a response on desktop discord client once it was done. Wonder how long before they lock this down.

Windows file search has been useless as far back as I can remember. Especially file indexing and the load it puts on the CPU. I usually just disable file indexing on a new windows install.

The 1990s depiction of a filesystems in movies like Hacker or Disclosure was just weird. Then you had products like Microsoft Bob.
