I’m also going to try using the eSIM to trial Google Fi

The facial animation in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is still the best I've ever seen, and that game came out in 2017.
Incredible looking game. I hope the sequel lives up to the original.
The article links the wrong paper.
The source of the 7% stat is this report from 2024: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/pdfs/mm7309a5-H.pdf
During 2019–2022, melatonin was implicated in 7% of all ED visits for unsupervised medication exposures by infants and young children.
The article said 7% of all emergency visits (with no qualifier). You said 7% of visits by children which sounds more reasonable. The actual statistic is even more specific than that.
During 2019–2022, melatonin was implicated in 7% of all ED visits for unsupervised medication exposures by infants and young children.

The article links a summary of the wrong CDC report (June 2022) that does not contain this stat. The report that this stat comes from (quoted above) was published in March 2024 by a completely different group of researchers.
And why did the article say the statistic was for 2012-2021 when the quote statistic refers to the period 2019-2022? Because they've conflated another statistic from the same report:
The prevalence of melatonin use by U.S. adults quintupled from 0.4% during 1999–2000 to 2.1% during 2017–2018 (1). This rise coincided with a 530% increase in poison center calls for pediatric melatonin exposures during 2012–2021 and a 420% increase in emergency department (ED) visits for unsupervised melatonin ingestion by infants and young children during 2009–2020 (2,3).
It took me about 10 seconds to find the report and verify the stat. It was the first link returned in the search results.
Journalism really is dead.
If you're not storing on a filesystem that calculates and checks erasure codes then you can always generate PAR2 files yourself.
Technology also isn’t going to improve drastically any more

What bust? What do you think cloud providers are using for long term storage? SSDs in datacentres are for databases and hot data-sets. Anything that is written for archival purposes or only read infrequently goes to HDDs.
HDDs are still the most cost-effective way of storing data and probably still will be for some time yet.

I agree with your original comment; it's worth using a dedicated PC for gaming on the TV. But I think your second sentence is just parroting current-gen console marketing. It's not actually true that current-gen consoles are providing a 4k@60 HDR experience.
No, Forza Motorsport uses dynamic resolution upscaled to 4k in Performance mode, and in Quality mode it also uses dynamic resolution but targets 30fps.
I used Qwant for a few days and then it popped up a modal dialog asking me to turn off my ad-blocker. Never used it again after that.
