Are you trolling? That keyboard has a loud clicked in each key without much of the benefits of a mechanical keyboard (where loudness is not a feature, but something you sometimes live with).
I avoid Razer for - Their marketing. Right on the border of being fraudulent. (You could argue that it would have been crossed many times, but they could probably legally wrangle themselves out of a lawsuit) - Shoddy quality - Their Synapse software, which is required for keyboard features and requires registration.
I would recommend checking out the . Unfortunately, they marketed it as a "gaming" keyboard, and it is only available in US-ANSI (or I would have got two of them myself when it kickstarted).
I still use a mechanical keyboard I built in 2012. The insides were a kit with PCB and mounting plate for mechanical Cherry MX switches in tenkeyless form factor (no numpad). The outside, I built together from several vintage keyboards. It is beige, looking like something from the early '90s. I had planned it to go with with a new PC built in a Silicon Graphics case but never got around to it.
I had been two years into the mechanical keyboard hobby, having tried maybe a dozen keyboards until I found my favourite switch: Cherry MX Clear (for which I have been an advocate for since). Unfortunately, despite its high popularity within the enthusiast community it has still not become mainstream, and mass-produced keyboards with it are rare.
My purchases since (for work, etc.) have been variations of this keyboard and switch. I got into the hobby, first for customisation (I wanted to build a keyboard that would look like it fit in Star Wars), and second for ergonomics and quality. I use keycaps made of PBT plastic, which wears less than the common ABS... and which in turn wears much less than the painted caps with laser-ablated legends that is still the norm for backlit "gaming" keyboards these days. Even though my PBT keycaps are 1990's vintage and I have used them continuously for... six years, they still look fresh.
Gas made from food waste had been around in Scandinavia for some years now. It has powered mostly road vehicles: lorries and busses. What may be somewhat novel is that it is being used to power a cruise ship.
And it does of course not need to be made from fish. Many types of organic material will do. It is just that food waste is widely available and people are willing to get it collected, they may even pay you for it.
Hurtigrutten is not only a luxury cruise line. It is a major means of long-range transport for a long stretch of northern Norway, which consists mostly of a jagged mountainous coastline. It is the most dependable large-scale transport for many communities, carrying both cargo and people to places where planes, trains and trucks don't go.
The dead fish is probably waste products from Norway's large fishing and fish farming industry. If you have ever eaten farmed salmon, it was probably from Norway.
The world does not have a fertiliser deficiency. It has a problem of fertiliser distribution. Too much dung from meat production farms being dumped into the environment -- emitting greenhouse gases and getting into waterways killing the seas.
I have wondered now and then, if not Bitcoin isn't actually a secret distributed Chinese Lottery.
With all these machines out there dedicated to brute-forcing SHA-256 collissions â" which is also the world's most used cryptographic hash algorithm, whenever NSA (or whichever agency created Bitcoin) wants a SHA-256 hash collision it just injects some requests to a bunch of bitcoin nodes, exploiting some vulnerability in the code and protocol. And then the suckers will do the work for them.
It has been done before with Javascript in web pages, the same as "other" crypto-mining in Javascript on shadier sites more recently. But this time the users would be none the wiser because the nodes are just doing whatever they were supposed to in the first place.
A guy who had been my boss went on to lead a team who won an award for the same idea: small wind-turbines for city roof tops. The turbine had a different shape though (and was probably much less effective).
He was an alcoholic... so he spent the prize money on booze.
A vacuum cleaner and a fan would still have been better.
What I think could work though is to replace all tobacco smoking with vaping.
While you ban all smoking, you apply the rules that did apply to smoking directly to vaping. That would be the easiest to understand, and therefore the easiest to implement.
But what also must be done is to regulate the "e-liquid" so that it contains only approved substances in approved amounts. No more 10 times the nicotine than in tobacco. No unsafe solvents. No candy flavour. Appropriate labelling warning about health risks.
Prohibition creates a black market only for products whose use was already widespread. New types of addictive drugs are invented and introduced by shady people all the time, but we don't hear about them because they are banned and removed from the market by the authorities in time before can become popular.
Calling smoking "freedom" is just bullshit. You are a smoker yourself, right? Then it is not logic that talks, but addiction. As long as you smoke in a public space where others may be, you risk exposing them to smoke. And it is by exposure to nicotine (in smoke or vape) that people get addicted to it. You don't have an inalienable right to create more addicts.
But if you want to inject yourself with nicotine, use a path, gum, tablet or inhaler. Then that's perfectly fine by me. That is your right.
Most deaths from smoking are actually from heart disease, not cancer.
While tobacco smoke contains particles that are bad for your cardiovascular system, nicotine also causes heart disease itself. This has been proven in studies of snuff-users in countries where use of snuff is widespread: there is a statistically significant higher rate of heart disease among them than among other non-smokers.
Almost all nicotine addicts (smokers and vapers) become addicts because they have been subjected to second-hand smoke.. or vape. While tobacco smoke is irritating... at first... nicotine in the air quickly dampens the irritation, enabling the passive smoker to inhale more of it, increasing the risk of becoming addicted. And nicotine is one of the most addictive substance there is (at the same level of cocaine and heroin).
While evaporators don't spew nicotine into the air all the time, vapers' exhalations also contain significant amounts of nicotine -- but unlike tobacco smoke, the vape does not smell (noticeably, anyway), and you could get subjected to a quite dense cloud of nicotine vape without noticing it. Some vape products contain a significantly higher dose of nicotine than tobacco smoke. So, the scent-lessness and the higher nicotine both compensate for the spewing not being constant in making people addicted. These factors together make second-hand vape just as big threat against the fight against addiction as second-hand smoke.
The only real way to fight teen smoking is therefore to expand and enforce a ban on smoking and vaping wherever these teens spend their time. Just say no.
I think that the international community must stand up against things such as this.
If China will not close down its program by itself, a coalition will need to be formed to bomb the Chinese sites where this is taking place, to prevent it from happening.
In the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were dosed with radioactivity from US atomic bombs in WWII, a statistically significant link between the bombs and increase in brain cancer appeared first forty years afterwards...
Mobile phones should not be taken into a facility with a MRI machine anyway. The radio waves emitted from the phone could interfere with the MRI machine's sensitive sensors... which is why every such facility has "No cell phones" signs in every room and corridor.
The phones will not emit only when in "use", but will regularly try to connect to the nearest cell tower even when "off". Therefore, it is best not to bring it there at all.
No, that's a misconception. Only very few operating systems actually isolate all its tasks fully according to the principle of least privilege.
In most mainstream operating systems, sandboxing is not the default but has to be initiated by the parent process before the process starts, or even voluntarily by the process itself. Most sandboxing mechanisms were added as afterthoughts, so they do have some kind of quirk that either makes it hard to use or opens up a hole if you are not careful.

Sandboxing of Windows Defender was done over a year ago by a security researcher at Trail of Bits: Microsoft didnâ(TM)t sandbox Windows Defender, so I did.

In most mainstream operating systems, sandboxing is not the default but has to be initiated by the parent process before the process starts, or even voluntarily by the process itself.
