bonus points when there's no checkpoint before a boss fight so you have to redo 50 fights just to die again and repeat the process

DS1 I feel is decent with this (could be Stockholm syndrome) and Elden Ring removes the issue almost completely. But Jesus Christ DS2 was awful in this regard. At least they added the mechanic where mobs stop respawning after you've killed them N times; I removed every single enemy from along the Smelter Demon corpse run lmao

I think the screenshot is just showing connections the app's made, not necessarily blocked ones. I doubt any blocklist would contain pool.ntp.org

We're not necessarily talking about "pop the back open and slam a new one in" batteries a la Nokia 3310, but rather being able to replace a battery at the end of its lifecycle without special expertise and tools, but still, with some amount of effort required.

That's the requirement at least, but companies are of course free to choose either approach.

According to a draft version of the ecodesign regulation on the EU’s website, batteries should be replaceable “with no tool, a tool or set of tools that is supplied with the product or spare part, or basic tools.”

Yeah I suppose that could work. Just get a framebuffer PDF reader going and you're off to the races. Found this one via Google:

Probably won't play too well with terminal multiplexing / split windows (tmux, screen), but you could probably have the reader on e.g. TTY2 and a multiplexer on TTY1 for other stuff.

Like the parent said, it surfaces old (as in years old) posts as "hot". Not sure if that's the case still, but I have definitely noticed it before.

Same, except I rarely charge when I sleep. I just don't have an outlet handy next to my bed. With the fancy Samsung turbo charger I get a decent charge in barely any time at all.

That depends entirely on what you want to / need to do with your PC.

As a teenager some 15 years ago I did use a TTY only setup on an 800 MHz Pentium for... Months, I guess? Obviously I wasn't doing anything too immediately productive back then; I was mostly either compiling kernels or playing nethack with the wiki open in (e)links via screen for multiplexing. It was an intensely comfy experience as I recall, just a small handful of processes running at any given time.

That the installation is stable, as opposed to constantly changing, as is the case (by design) with rolling release distros (e.g. Arch). Package version updates are conservative to prevent surprises.

The "daingert Madelyn" in the last panel is from a CAPTCHA challenge. In case you're not aware, CAPTCHAs used to present squiggly pseudo-words like that for you to decipher. I suppose they still might, but they used to, too.

And the joke is, well, it was always funny when the two words somehow made sense

Edit: And to totally kill the joke, "daingert" kinda looks/sounds like "dangit" in a southern(?) accent if you squint enough
