You could do some automated/scripted installation VM-image builder thingy and release that. Would probably also save some manual work for you. (bash script fetching install image & run qemu, autounattend.xml, etc. all nicely released on github.) And it’d be auditable.
that’d be an awesome way to spread malware with some VM evasion.
not sure if any 3rd-party windows install should ever be trusted. no matter what usecase.
I’m no expert either but I never got the idea of a new universe popping up everytime. Do other universes also cause popups of new universes or just ours? That’d escalate quickly :-)
I thought it goes that there’s already infinite universes existing from the big bang on. Otherwise universes would be created without big bang. (The new universe would just pop up and you’d still believe it was created by the big bang but there never was one)
Also I’m not sure if laws of thermodynamics had to span accross universes. Take two theoretical perfect vacuum/radiation sealed boxes you put an energy source into. There’s no way to communicate between boxes. Each box had it’s own entropy and state of energy. Both would obey the laws of physics while being separate “systems”.
That thought experiment wouldn’t work, if new boxes had to pop up if one of the boxes wanted to.
why would alternative universes share a single source of energy? couldn’t each have their own?

I’d like to see the bedbug that survives this. As mentioned elsewhere, this is used by (hopefully) every hospital, elderly home or hotel for worse stuff than bedbugs.
The mattresses leave this thing in a pristine state.
When you refund a mattress they just surface clean it
yuck. I doubt that. It’s manual work and far more expensive than a machine.
but getting them dry would be a challenge
seriously? I mean, there is a chance no such service exists in your town. Bad luck then. But there is close to zero chance it doesn’t exist in your country.
What do you think hospitals do? (Or good hotels, as mentioned). Source: Worked in an elderly home that used such a service regularly.
Here’s an image of such a mattress washing machine.
They work.
That’s not true. All mattresses except the cheapest foam ones are washable (they are, too but they might change properties then). But why get a used cheap one?
There are mattress washing services with giant washing machines that are used by hotels. Ask hotel staff to find one.
You can’t get rid of most of the build-up.
You actually can get rid of all the buildups. Just like with clothes. Also don’t think sellers throw it away when you refund a mattress - they wash it and sell it again.
just ask beforehand if you can test it quickly. while that’s not 100% proof, most people are honest (at least when giving away stuff for cheap/free). There’s a risk, but at worst you get free trash. Never happened to me, tho.
Also most high-quality stuff is always salvageable. Surely it’s more hassle then if you have to order spare parts or such.
Some things basically come for free when they were used. Washing machine, stoves… Disassembling them to fully clean them takes a day or two, but it’s still faster than buying new and chances are good, someone wants to get rid of their high quality stuff near you and will give it away for cheap if you “dispose” it for them.
You can even wash a mattress for a few bucks. If it’s good quality, a decade old used filthy mattress can come out like brand new.
People finding that gross or poorish are the reason, stuff is so cheap
BS.
You can’t walk 5 minutes in any major city into any direction and not meet some pro-palestine protestors.
Also Talkshows discuss palestine stuff for days now.
They did it before and they’ll do it again.
imagine microsoft promoting guides to use the terminal which was deemed outdated, slow and complicated legacy in the past.
Give it two or three more major teleases, then windows will be a DE runnining on some *nix-ish kernel. Microsoft is really learning the hard way.
on Android, the OS is the firmware. If you talk about peripheral firmware, I’d not call it “software based” anymore.
installing your own OS and/or bootloader is a pain and most of the time unfeasable. And that’s the only way to safely kill software based backdoors.
you do know thar space exploration is a great investment and brings wealth to countries, right?
sillicon valley wouldn’t exist like today without the apollo program.
welcome to your bubble. german subs are full of critical stuff. e.g. search for “Bahn”.
wouldn’t make that consent even harder? or imply wars?
e.g. Brazil. Imagine they got the last lumber on earth, they’d have to choose between preserving their last trees and incredible wealth by selling it. I can’t imagine a poor country to choose the former.
I don’t believe a CEO or King is necessary for short sighted action. Humans are just very bad at sustainable long-term decisions.
I know a guy who owns a small forrest and when wood prices were skyrocketing due to supply chain disruption, he was tempted to sell more wood than planned. So he couldn’t sell as much in the following years. He has no boss, is not rich and makes his own decisions.
It’s a simple mechanism of supply and demand. I can’t see a reason why people wouldn’t cut down more trees than can grow back when demand is ultra high, other than force/legislation. And then people get angry because they won’t realize that they’d destroy their own business in the long run. A worldwide life-threatening situation won’t change that.
That’s exactly one of the premises in this paper: Deforestation and world population sustainability: a quantitative analysis.
Some say, the easter island model doesn’t scale worldwide but I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t.
Not sure if I’d trust an OS named like a Bond villain.
