1 million dollars doesn't go that far these days, at the world scale it is almost nothing.
You could however make a lasting difference in your community by making a scholarship, building needed facilities, or doing something else where you directly make sure the funds go where needed and can't be used for other uses. Lets face it, if you give it to some charities 90% of it will just go to the administration.
The exception would be if you are into a lot of outdoor adventure / climbing / mountain biking / hiking where it will just be the two of you on an adventure. Then it is critical.
If most of your life is in a uban setting it isn't a common or critical skill I would expect.
Blower fans had a technical reason to exist that isn’t very relevant anymore.
It used to be to keep the card profile low so you could have other PCI card slots populated. However these days everything including Wifi can be found pre populated on the motherboard. It is rare you put in any additional PCI cards in modern personal systems.
Ya acrylic side cases where a trend, maybe 3D monitors but everything else in there was just specific technology that has been replaced by better technology..
Reading through the comments on the video, the only "used to be" part the video creator is talking about is that it is a alien hobby OS that hardly anyone uses or knows about. Don't take that as a negative but he is just talking about the feels. Other than that technically their isn't a lot in common with Linux from the past.
I can see this as a one time verification to help verify the video isn't being faked / you aren't working out of a remote cube farm in another country.
For all the firefox fans out there it might be good to note there have consistently been more Safari users than Firefox users since 2014. Hell Safari has been the number two browser by market share since 2015.
Browsers have to get very SHITTY or a new browser has to have a killer app to unseat a dominate one.
LitterRobot 3 -- Died after a year.. I am not spending money on repairing it as I think the design is fundamentally flawed (DFI system gets pee and litter in it by design and fails). LitterRobot 4 fixes SOME of the issues but I am not dropping that much money on another robot litter box..
I loved not having to scoop so regularly and the immediate clean cycle actually made the litter last longer with just a few top ups.
I have purchased two cat fountains, both died in like 6mo of use even with filters and careful cleaning. Cats loved them and they were purchased because they were not drinking enough.. Found out all I needed was a CHEAP larger diameter bowl as their whiskers were touching the edges and that is why they didn't drink much from other bowls.
I also strongly agree that Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge are the best in the series, the most focused and polished.. Burnout Paradise is OK but lacks something those other two have.
Will it get done if it costs too much to get someone to do it? Do I think I can do it?
If I added up all of the home, auto and technical maintenance I have done in the last month as farmed out to a professional I would be broke ALL THE TIME or the things would not have gotten done.
SO many things can be looked up and even found as full instructional videos now.
I generally look at it as if there is special knowledge, skills or tools needed also if I could make things worse.. If not I will try and do it myself.
To be far, apple has had iMessage since 2011 and no one cared about RCS until it was adopted on Android in 2019.
