  • He also had a bizarre contract he made the parents sign that if they changed their minds they had to reimburse him the financial costs of the experiment

    Here's a scenario.

    • Parent gets modded baby
    • Parent is approached by a corporation to take over the baby for their exp instead
      • Corporation is willing to pay parent for it
    • Parent later goes and says no to Dr. He
    • Parent takes baby to the corporation instead, which now gets to step ahead of Dr. He
    • Dr. He gets no resultant data but is stuck with the costs of doing whatever he did.

  • I once made a multithreaded code for an embedded device.
    Tested it on my development Desktop PC and it used all 4 cores.

    Running it on the target device, all threads ran on the same core because it was too powerful for Linux to feel the need to use multiple cores.

  • That's a nice way to use it.
    Not for me though, since I prefer audio cues for those things.

    I use the RGB on my gaming mouse to help find it in the dark, but that's all. Since it's usually too bright, all 3 RGB values are kept under 10 (out of 255).

    As for the keyboard, I am mostly fine with a single colour LED. RGB would be considered a nice to have for seasonally changing colours. I may find different zone based colours useful, but I need to find a good enough keyboard first.

  • I am able to get components with unwanted lighting all over the place, but none where lighting is desirable.

    • Didn't ask for lighting in my fans, got them.
    • Didn't ask for lighting on my motherboard, got it.
    • Didn't ask to a blinding light in the power indicator of my monitor, which is brighter than the screen itself. Had to tape it up.
    • Took a real while to find a cabinet without glass/acrylic stuff, because that's all people sell nowadays.
    • Asked for a good backlit keyboard for a reasonable price. I had to make cutouts out of glow-in-the-dark stickers.
      • RGB everywhere by default, but getting even a single coloured backlight on a keyboard ramps up the price like anything.

  • In the example, I was implying a scenario in which Larry sold Larry's stuff, which would have included Larry's phone.
    Tom then gives Larry's phone to Steve.

    I used 'stuff' in the first sentence to prevent revealing 'phone' beforehand, in which case it could have become, "Tom gave Steve the phone.".

  • This exactly.

    I don't want an extra launcher/downloader thing that keeps on running in the background.

    When I want to play the game, I want to only have to start the game itself. That on top of the fact that Linux can have significantly less bloat than Windows, is a big +.
    I even experimented with turning off plasma and playing the game directly in X11 without even a WM. Though it turned out not to make a big difference since the DE seems to be light enough to not be a problem.

    Even in case of Steam, the only times I want to have to run it is when I am opening the store or updating the games. Not when I just want to play it and definitely not for a Linux native game which does not require Proton nor the runtime.

    So, if there are enough people like me, the client would be a wasted effort.
