Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
An electric keyboard imported from outside of soviet block. I was too young and stupid to understand the power brick and conected it directly to mains. A shower of sparks tought me an important lesson about electricity and voltage.
See title - very frustrating. There is no way to continue to use the TV without agreeing to the terms. I couldn’t use different inputs, or even go to settings from the home screen and disconnect from the internet to disable their services. If I don’t agree to their terms, then I don’t get access to their new products. That...

Human planet also has an unusual core made of iron which creates a crushing gravity. Gravity is actually so strong that even the gas that sorrounds the planet pushes on everything with a pressure of over 10 tons / m2. And when weather makes the pressure slightly less severe humans are like “I don’t feel so good, the atmosphere is not crushing me nearly enough”.
It’s hard to compare to exoplanets as we barely even know their sizes let alone densities. But in our solar system earth is the densest of 5.5g/cm3. Close are only Mercury 5.4 and Venus 5.2. Then you have Mars 3.9, Io 3.5, Moon 3.3, Europa 3.0, Triton 2.0, Ganymede 1.9, Pluto 1.9, Callysto 1.8…
Is not a big sample size, but I’d still assume that such dense planets (high gravity for their size) as Earth are not very common.
It's really not a big deal. (lemmy.world)

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?
I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.
When not thinking about it, do you notice your blinking?
I feel like it’s one of those autonomic behaviors like breathing where it only really becomes noticeable when you think about it, but I’m not sure.
