I can’t remember the last time I used a system with a spinning hard drive. I should really put a drill bit through these old drives. Job for the weekend I think.

Searching old storage drives for some software that I think I wrote about 20 years ago. I'm sure the code is junk, but I'm interested to take a look at it as it might come in handy for a project I'm working on. Anyway, I really should organise my backups better.
This picture on the BBC News website is triggering me.
That feeling when you've been concentrating intensely on solving a problem, you solve the problem and then look up from your monitors to wonder where you are even located in meatspace.
For some reason, I had it in my head that most systems allowed hyphens in hashtags. Apparently this is not the case. I should really look these things up before making assumptions in code.
Good morning, coders!
Reading and watching all the news about the new Qualcomm Oryon chips and I'm excited for the future. What I would really like to see is a Linux compatible laptop with:
1. The build quality/look of a ThinkPad.
2. The performance and battery life of MacBook Pro M1/2/3.
3. The fanlessness (definitely not a word) of the MacBook Air.
Not asking for much really.
"sudo: zip: command not found"
What? How long have I been using this system? Why is zip not installed?
I currently work across multiple PC devices, a desktop at work and a desktop and laptop at home. I would like to reduce the number of devices I use and maintain, so I'm planning on just using the laptop in future. The laptop is a ThinkPad T470s and it's my favourite device to use, although not as powerful as my desktops. Anyhow, I've just ordered a spare power brick for the laptop and a USB-C to HDMI adaptor so that I can use the laptop with a couple of external displays at work.
How do you politely inform someone that their flippant use of punctuation, such as multiple exclamation marks in article titles, is bad form? This person also uses multiple periods (not always the same number) in place of an ellipsis. I'm not a grammar Nazi, but this stuff grates on me.
