Valve ships a linux device in the form of the steam deck, so almost certainly.

While the free market should be able to correct the problem, it can't.

I can't talk specifically about the uk, but in the US many locales have strict zoning regualtions that hamper building medium density cheap housing, perfect for all these people that can't afford to live where there's work.

Examples are things like minimum parking requiements, driveway setbacks, and limitations on multifamily homes.

Honestly, it's so easy to block accounts, so if there's only one bot in you community you should just keep it.

If they don't like it they can block it.

Looking at several layers of my government that deny free market on housing so we all have to buy cars.

Surrrrre

There's also a lot of violence, and a fair amount of gore, not kid friendly.

Get medicated.

It doesn't matter what you current or past hyperfixation is, or will be. You will get sick of whatever you study.

You either need to get medicated, or have iron will to get through with sheer discipline.

If you don't, you likely will not pass. So college will be a waste of your time and money. So you should either become a self taught programmer or find a stimulating job with no college needed.

Nvidia shield is the best,

Roku devices are pretty good for less money

Admiral Pasalk may not have been evil, but he was a jerk.

4g of CO2 per email? I find that hard to believe. Probably overestimating emissions like some media did with Netflix.

But is that enough energy to cause damage? Its clearly not a huge problem otherwise cases with camera covers would probably be common.

I don't think its worth most users worrying about it. But definitely don't point your camera at the sun on purpose.

These are for more sensitive cameras with much larger lenses, and correspondingly, physical shutters.

Smartphone cameras don't have one, there must be a reason they don't need it.

I'm not convinced by this post really, I'm sure pointing your camera at the sun with it on will cause damage. But I don't believe that smartphone cameras are as susceptible as photography cameras. If they were they'd have a physical shutter.

But they don't so either the sensor is harder to damage while it's off, or the smartphone lens just isn't big enough (or focused enough) to be an issue. Not to mention they have uv and infraded filters too.

Another other explanation I can think of is that sun isn't likely to be barreling down a smartphone lens often enough to be a problem.

Where I live in north america, the sun never resides directly overhead, so maybe that minimizes damge.

Or maybe it just requires a lot more exposure that its not likely to be a problem for the life of the device.

Either way, unless you are an optical engineer for a smartphone company, I remain unconvinced. It seems to be a rather rare problem that most users shouldn't worry about.
