There must have been a phone marketed as ePhone before now?

If not maybe try Espressone

On a mains power transformer, maintaining good electrical separation between mains side and low voltage side is a good superstition though. If in doubt increase the gap or insulation, electrical fire demons hate this one cheap trick.

I’m English, but neither of my parents are - I’d never claim to be English+(X/Y) though. I’d likely get the shit kicked out of me for just thinking one of them (maybe both for different reasons).

But irrespective of these 2 generations, people have been living where i do for far longer than England has been a country. Just since the Romans left there have been major influxes of Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Normans, Vikings, probably some others . . . not to mention many waves of smaller scale immigration and emigration. It’s no lie when they say ‘the English all are bastards’ - mostly Franco-germanic-scandinavian mongrels.

Most European countries have populations that far outlive the current set of lines on the map or the current flags. And most have been involved with a lot of migration. And most people will have ancestors died on the losing side of one war or another or for a country that is no longer there, or a dividing line that has long since moved.

It just seems odd to me to keep track of all that stuff in any specific sense.

**1b **- boot a Mint live usb and just try running whatever exes you need in wine. (copy them onto another fat32 usb to run them from and no risk). They might be slower but you should get an idea whether they work or not.

If one doesn’t work try asking on linux community to see if anyone can help. Or searching online and protondb of course it might be helpful to say what programmes or types of programs you use , people might have advice or suggested alternatives.

If you get a linux system going you can set up a windows virtual machine (vm) from linux using QEMU+KVM - i find this better than virtualbox. But it’d be odd to do that from a live usb, so use your test system if you want to test that. You could keep a win 10 v.m virtually sandboxed in a qemu and block it’s network accesss - just use it for whatever exes don’t work well enough on windows - might slighly kink the workflow though if you need internet, or to pass files around.

But any hardware not working on linux obviously can’t be made available to vm.

1g - For hardware, again boot a live usb and test out everything. If you can’t get anything working then try posting for specific help. This might be the case where a newer linux kernel (than whatever Mint is up to) is beneficial, if you have some bleeding edge hardware that might only be in the latest kernel versions.

linux sucks. it bloats everyone arse with it’s with cockpilots. Even if you could load up a game in it, it’d insert its own joystick right into your face without asking.

If they don’t want to be limp dicks they should rebrand to ‘macrohard’.

It’s a government agency in the United Kingdom called the Ordnance Survey. They make all the maps.

I was originally set up to help defend against catholic rebellions so it is historically linked to the army. That’s probably where the Colonel comes in to it.

I suspects it’s also about more dealer lock in to authorised repair. Limitation of competition in who can do repair, and also limiting competition in third party parts that can be used (less standardisation).

Most users of LAME are lame unless they are LAME; and it’s even more commendable when LAME.

Yeah but it got so much worse when that prick Bell came along and started pushing his fucking 'phone in the 1890s.

Cody Berg was hired by Linus Tovalds after Gita Hub left his company.

Nominative anti-determinism.

Is there such a thing as modular fpga so that you could “plug in” another one and add more gates, sort of daisy chain them? I don’t know if such interfaces exist , sounds like it might need lots of bandwidth.

No way; ghosts? Just pished bastards. Nessie is real though - you don’t mess with Mr McToot he’ll set Ferocious Ness on you.

Thanks, my mistake . It sounds like harvard is the bag of shite then. That would accord with my experience of supposedly “prestigious” european things that purport prestige.

My apologies to claremont mckenna; though i would suggest , to protect their own reputation, they might want to suck fewer harvard cocks.

Yes it’s odd to see an article about electricity generation technology that doesn’t even have a speculative ‘levelised cost of energy’ as they call it. That is lifecycle expected average $/MWh.

I guess its a very early prototype. and maybe China doesn’t care to much about LCOE.

There are techniques, statistical , experimental etc. to see how the associations change in different circumstances to try to unpick complex causality like this, at least a little.

This just looks like a database and presentation of naive correlations though, I can’t see any evidence of actual research to try to see if the correlation holds up after controlling for third factors, or focussing in on variation that is plausibly independent. Maybe twins, adopted into similar households in different places or something like that.

I don’t know what a “claremont mckenna college” is but it seems like a bag of shite to me. Albeit I’m judging from a quick skim of this article.

zip code is simply appears “important” because it is the fine grained unit of analysis ; so much data is available at that level. if they had data at household level, and people’s actual social and economic networks then the analysis would not be bound to the zip code.

We used to analyse educational outcomes with local level indicators of deprivation vs household ones (like free school meals status). Or use longitudinal survey data with questions about household income. Invariably the “importance” of neighborhood characteristics diminished greatly when household level factors could be taken into account.

Or maybe sports could be pass times for normalsaurs to play. Instead of some insane culturally mandatory entertainment industry.
