@ashkendo @gedeonm When a K&W opened in Kannapolis in the late 80s, the Sunday lunch line ran down a long corridor and spilled out into the lobby. A friend always referred to this as "melpew” food for the rushed "may I help you" that the cafeteria ladies repeated over and over as they served the endless line of people. My standard teenage order -- fried chicken, green beans, french fries, dinner roll and a slice of chocolate pie. I miss that pie.

@hwang The third reality nightlight is USB powered! I don’t think they advertise it, but I have one and the plug comes off and it’s just a USB power adapter that slots into a USBA plug.

@octothorpe You might look into “internet recovery” mode. Unless things have changed, this reinstalls the OS that the machine shipped with, which is usually the earliest version that it can run.

@hosierdavid @dimsumthinking You should be able to bundle the JRE and sign it as a helper executable. The app should be able to execute it as a subprocess with no problem. It’ll be trapped in the app’s sandbox without jumping through a bunch more hoops, but that should be okay for a validator?

@gedeonm Cool. The Neo reminds me so much of my beloved 11" MacBook Air from 10+ years ago. They’re practically the same size. Doesn't make sense to replace my M1 MacBook with a Neo, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

@gedeonm By lip, do you mean the “big" bezels or does the metal of the top shell wrap around the glass and stick out a little?

@ssamulczyk Oh, I see. That makes sense. Always interesting to see how people interpret things when they aren't steeped in the jargon. I once told a lady that I led a team of mobile developers and she said “So... you have a like a van and drive developers around?”

@ssamulczyk out of curiosity, what do you initially think it means? Always curious about how technical jargon gets misinterpreted.
