You are over estimating car seat weights. A large, one piece, high end seat for kids up to 70 pounds like a Britax Marathon only weighs 19.5 pounds. No pixie dust needed, just plastic and styrofoam.

Those detachable seats you see mom's carrying in the supermarket weigh about 10 pounds, and the base will be about the same.

It would have been ironic 10 years ago, but not today.

If someone only has a single Internet-capable device, it is much more likely to be smartphone, rather than a PC running Windows.

Of course it wouldn't have hurt to add: "or call our support number".

It is funnier to me the "we recommend customers restart their PC" bit , which basically it's the first step every IT support ever tells you to do (possibly after "check that the cable is connected").

If you are talking relational database (I dont know, you just say databases), yes there can be issues exporting foreign keys, views you name it. But is it possible, yes it is.

NOSQL database on the other hand, completely different scenario. Exporting is a much more steamlined process. Again, its not magic, there is effort, but it is possible.

Just because you or your company are risk averse or strapped for cash, doesn't mean it's impossible to export a database. All the databases mention have export/import operations available, and as I said you are not locked into AWS if you do not wish to be.

I really like the Unifi - i've run it for a while and not had a single problem.

I do have a big gripe though - it has a hard wired limit of 4x SSIDs for each access point.

I run a number of VLANs, each with their own SSID - and it means I can only have the Unifi provide my main ones and have to run an old Netgear router on different wifi channels to provide the rest :(

I've never quite understood why my cheap routers running OpenWRT can seemingly have unlimited (or at least a lot of) SSIDs, where an expensive Unifi will only provide 4.

I suppose one thing to keep in mind is the interface that the packaged software provides. If packages A and B provide standalone binaries /bin/A and /bin/B, and package C depends on both, then the dependencies of A and B are pretty much isolated: each can use their own versions of whatever they like, and C can invoke both binaries.*

On the other hand, if A and B provide (some sort of) libraries which C imports, then their dependencies may be exposed by appearing in the pool of libraries available to C. This is certainly the case for Haskell, where all of a library's dependencies accumulate in the ghc-pkg database and multiple versions of a library aren't allowed in the same program. As you say, such things are existing problems in external, language-specific tools, and aren't caused by Nix; although Nix may provide a useful abstraction to better manage such problems.

* There may be application-specific problems at runtime, e.g. if A and B try to de/serialise each other's data, but I'd count that as a bug: if A and B are meant to be standalone then they're buggy, as their I/O formats should be more robust; on the other hand, if A and B are meant to be used together then the packaging is buggy: A and B should expose their shared dependency as a parameter, and C should pass in the same version to both.

I checked the article again after reading your comment and you were not kidding. Damn! I thought maybe they had learned something from the "German tank problem" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem), but maybe they just don't care how all this looks to us, regular people.

The last three letters in the Danish and Norwegian alphabets are Æ, Ø, and Å. Given that both the lower and upper case version of 'æ' and 'å' are included in the MSX font, it would make sense that they would also include the 'ø' symbol which the resulting font is currently missing. Given the limited number of pixels it would also make sense that the same graphic is used for both the lower and upper case version of this symbol.

"Hey Siri, remind me to call Grandma when I get home" (while driving and I remembered something I need to speak to her about)

A simple press of a button on my BT headset (Sony btw, not Apple) and "Call my wife" is a lot easier in the winter than digging out my phone, removing my glove for TouchID and browsing to my wife's contact in the phone app.

A quick shout of "Hey Siri, set timer for 12 minutes" while cooking is faster than fiddling with the kitchen timer - which I had lost. Again.

Also "What's the weather like tomorrow morning" when I come home to see if I need to plug in my car heater for the night or not.

There are just some things that are faster spoken to a digital assistant (Siri, Cortana or Google Assistant) than done by tapping on a screen.

On the other hand, tapping the screen is a lot more appropriate in public than asking "Navigate to my proctologist appointment" :P

No one who ever has done serious IT support should ever tell you to "check the cable is connected".

The proper approach there is tell the person "please unplug the device from the power, wait 10 seconds then plug it back in to let the capacitors discharge".

If you tell people "check the cable is plugged in" they will either tell you "yes of course it is" or else get offended. Telling them to unplug it and plug it back in solves that (and actually might help occasionally too).

Things that have fixed it at various times - deleting the entry for the device driver and recreating it with an automated hardware scan; Reverting to the Microsoft version of the driver; Fiddling with the device driver settings (hate doing that). I suppose it comes down to mismatches between the OS, device drivers and hardware produced by different companies at different times.

The most annoying thing though is getting the motion wrong, if 3W turns out to not be the motion I want, hitting escape does not return the cursor to where it was before the motion.
