Exactly.

He's a serial offender and the crimes he is most recently convicted for were so egregious and extensive they had to be partitioned into 34 charges.

Plural.

Behind bars and fingers crossed, without any way to use social media for the entire duration.

This is going to change so much for so many people, avoid lots of headaches too.

Over here, online and automated tax returns have been a thing for over a decade.

You can opt to get it on paper or online, but they supply you with a pre-filled return most people can usually directly file without a single alteration. And you don't even have to actually file the pre-filled return if it's complete, just ignore it and it is automatically regarded as filed.

And if you have anything to add, on the website it's as simple as hitting some checkboxes for the appropriate tax codes (which all have extensive explanations and automated inclusion/exclusion rules so that if you check a specific box that also requires you to add other information, it won't file without adding the other information) and adding the numbers (if there's any specific numbers attached) and hit recalculate.

Even my tech illiterate and phobic dad can work with it.

Not even one of those points will accelerate Linux adoption to being with a decade of the snowballing level at which point it could Dethrone Windows.

Might we considered there may be a tiny difference in scope between an OS and an app like Armory Crate.

Solar also doesn't do heat well.

Because they'd need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.

And that's something those companies don't like doing.

System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.

I guess they mean "how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular."

As Linux itself is insanely popular, it's everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.

Looks like this one except that it is sealed on one end and the caddies for the two drives have a cover plate that screws in over a gasket and rubber ring.

I got it in a shop in Hong Kong when I was there for a convention earlier this year. No idea if you can find it online, maybe somewhere like Alibaba.

I have a dual NVMe USB3 caddy that's smaller than most 2.5 HDD housings with currently 2 2TB drives, you can buy 4 and 8TB nvme drives these days too. I can throw that thing out a car and it won't care.

And the drives are easily swappable and so are the electronics in the casing.

So no, 2.5" HDD's still are an utterly dead end of technology.

Especially with these and some other vendors, the USB interface is part of the drive (there's no SATA port on them), so you can't swap them or take them out for data recovery. They are HDD tech, which doesn't do shocks or any other sort of roughhousing, they are slow as shit and use far more power than any NVMe drive.

Because you flex and replug the interface often.

The thing you use to plug your phone, tablet, drives and other things with is very often the failure point unless you break screens or get water in them.

Normally you simply have a HDD drive with a SATA interface in there, so if the USB connector fails, you can still easily recover your data.

With these things, you're lucky if they even offer the possibility of repairing or recovering the drive.
