My (ISO) keyboards do, under the Esc key. I guess you're in North America (or Australia) and have an ANSI layout.

Because this is the internet, I can't tell if the whoosh goes to your downvoters or you. I think you were joking, but that second sentence makes me wonder...

I pay for Nebula - $30 a year which is about £22.50. That won't even cover two months of YouTube Premium (£12 pm), and there's not even the discounted yearly option in the UK.

And "if you're not paying you're the product" is wrong - YouTube/Google would still be datamining my viewing habits to sell to advertisers.

Only if enough people do it. Then again, loads scrapers outside of AI already pretend to be normal browsers.

The phrasing of "First actual case of bug being found" definitely sounds like it's a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say "a literal bug lol".

Edit: to be fair, OP doesn't say that Hopper invented the term

I had a "T-Mobile MDA Vario II" (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).

It looked like this, just less German:

That's the first Android phone, the HTC Dream (or TMobile G1). I loved this phone, even if it was chronically underpowered.

TL;DW:

Does It Make Sense To Put Data Centers In Space?

At some point in the future, yes.

Can They Really Cost Less To Operate?

In theory, yes.

Scott expresses concerns that current startups have not adequately addressed some of the practical challenges, such as cooling.

 
 

I posted a comment with the message "Don’t let doomscrolling lead you into despair and apathy over climate" and got a fair few downvotes, so I thought this was worth sharing.
