Yes, it’s a fancy way to save a tab. I just leave the tab open. Not a feature I want, so not something I want them to waste limited development time on. It’d be nice if it were through the bookmarks interface, so booarks could save state & history the way tabs do, but that’s not what’s proposed so I’d rather not have this. PWAs are a workaround to make up for the limitations of bookmarks.
PWAs were a feature I marked “want least”. I don’t like a cluttered home screen, I’d much rather just use bookmarks.
CPU doesn’t have any secure storage, so it can’t encrypt or authenticate comms to the TPM. The on-CPU fTPMs are the solution, the CPU then has the secure storage.
RF circuits are the same core principles filtered through black magic and the Laplace domain.
Oh, I’d only do that if the players are similarly powergaming. If they’re not it’s unfair, if they are the base game balance becomes koring. The challenge should scale to the party!
Pretty much how I DM.
Bosses have prep time. Glyph of warding can be cast on a page in a book, with trigger conditions specified by the caster. E.g. when a good-aligned creature with ≥8 int comes within 10ft of it.
Explosive runes are 5d8 damage (dex save for half) per glyph.
Nothing says it can’t be cast on more than one page.
A 50 page book with a glyph on every page means 100 dex saves for 5d8 each. Evasion is nice but you’ll fail a save eventually.
Your “friendly” neighborhood lich has had time to prepare dozens of these. That tempting library full of magical books might just be a TPK.
As a “consolation prize” at least the player gets to roll 100 d20s at once! Multiple times if they survive the first book.
Budgerigars (small parrots).
They’re active, smart, and social. They fly.
So I made them a flight cage that takes up most of the room they’re in. I’d prefer a full walk-in aviary, but don’t have room in my apartment.
Cleaning isn’t bad, I just shop-vac out the litter tray & refill it with a 20lb bag of corn cob bits. Fresh food in the mornings, take it out & replace with pellets around noon. Clean water daily. Millet treats when I let them out (about an hour per day to interact with them).
Feathers get everywhere when they molt. And feather dust. Their room has its own HEPA filter.
Vet appointments are more expensive for exotics than cats & dogs. There are fewer exotic vets, and I always go to a board certified avian vet. Boarding when I go on vacation is also more expensive (about $50/day), especially since they’re flighted.
They’re not anywhere near as loud or destructive as larger parrots, but that doesn’t mean they’re quiet. Just means they might not damage your hearing from the next room. They wake up with the dawn, and let you know about it.
They’re extremely sensitive to airborne toxins (avian respiration is rather different from mammalian). That means absolutely no teflon cookware use, no air fresheners, etc.
Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Or anything Ed Wood directed, really.
Yep. If exemptions required a CDL there would be far fewer exempt vehicles being made.
Intimidation is a charisma skill. A hulking half-orc barbarian with violent tendencies is less intimidating than the party bard.
As a piper, obviously, the bard could threaten to play the bagpipes out of tune so I can see where WotC were going with making it a Cha skill, but still.
int const golden = 1.618;

Casts are totally not a danger that should require a comment explaining safety…
And more generally mutable aliasing references of any sort are evil. Doesn’t mean they’re not useful, just that you need magic protection spells (mutexes, semaphores, fancy lock-free algorithms, atomics, etc) to use them safely. Skip the spell or use she wrong one, and the demon escapes and destroys all you hold dear.
If you heat carbon in a vacuum, it sublimates straight to gas. If you heat it under extreme pressure in an inert gas atmosphere, then it can melt. Unfortunately creating such pressures in the lab is only possible with diamond anvil presses, which are themselves carbon and thus tend to sublimate from the heat, resulting in pressure vessel failure. Doing the experiment on the surface of a neutron star would work, but presents some other difficulties.
On libc functions yes. Maybe on some from other libs, if they provide man pages.
Many cameras these days have AI autofocus for subject detection. Phone cameras use AI image enhancemnnt by default.
Yes, Krita is by far a better editor.
Or color spasecs other than sRGB (8 bits/channel). I’ve a camera that takes 10 bits/channel photos, a monitor that displays 10 bits/channel, etc. But GIMP will just distort the colors because they hard-coded the color space! Can’t edit for print either, no CMYK. GIMP is an image editor for the noughties, not the 2020s.
Then again, we’re talking about MS Paint here. If Paint fills your needs, GIMP will be fine.
USB Power Delivery (fast charge) doesn’t require USB 3.0 speeds, just USB-C connectors.
DoH & DoT still leak the domain name (and of course IP address) you’re connecting to. The domain name leak can be solved by Encrypted Client Hello but that’s still a draft and not turned on for many servers.
