Something like this can kind of be achieved programmatically by unraveling bash completion arguments and loosely parsing terminal help strings.

They aren't all formatted uniformly though, so you'll need to come up with a filtering mechanism to prevent returning garbage. You'll also always be a little out of date...

Everything loops back to steam in the end. Solid state thermoelectric devices have been around forever, and before that we had the idea of using thermal energy to augment magnetic fields and jump to kinetic energy without any intermediary conversion. All very low yield results, but we've tried it anyway.

Keep thinking about it, we need all the brains we can get, but don't write it off as a novel idea that the other egg heads just haven't gotten around to solving yet.

Data centers will probably be the only practical application. Consumer electronics will probably barely produce enough energy to power the regulator and tie-in circuit just to feed back into the pwm driver for fans nowadays.

I agree that you're not really leveraging any features of PNG like you would using JPEG or RAW here, but saying it's not meant for this use is an odd way to phrase it. There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting lossless compression on an image...

Out of box experience is a personal preference. It always has been. Every person expects something different so I don't really care about it anymore.

It's dead now, but Apricity was the first distro I really enjoyed the look of. Now I know better than to care about out of box appearance.

Lol, changing the country of origin doesn't constitute innovation from a consumer standpoint...

Now if this was using 5nm or chiplit or any of the other buzzwords of the day it could be marketed as innovative in the modern sense of the word.

Realistically there is no innovation left for ARM platforms. They all use the same core schematics. They only control data flow and peripheral IP as a manufacturer, unless they feel like building their own core from the spec (nobody really does that anymore as ARM has been desperately trying to standardize everything). The most "innovation" I've seen has come from stubbornness around keeping legacy bus architecture around instead of adopting AXI (even when all the IP they are trying to use already uses AXI and they keep having to make translation hardware).

Fuck it. Gun it at the brick wall. Jerry's rigging up an emergency break as we speak. Don't mind that the last piece to said break may be missing.

Bash, just because everything else already uses it. That and bashisms have infected nearly all of my scripts as I clumsily bump into the limitations of POSIX string manipulation.

I have found some very fun things with sed branching patterns as a result of these limitations though...

That's my first thought, but my brain keeps trying to inject one immediately following "Surely." No idea why.
