About the Nintendo Switch 2: Maybe try perusing https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1l3vqkv/sol...
Uni has an adapter for USB to Ethernet (if wired is an option) that works with those Nintendo devices, I have one that an extended family member borrowed (unknown if the Switch was a 1 or 2).
WKRP's handling of the Who concert at Riverfront Coliseum (Cincinnati, 1979) really sticks out in my memory.
The radio station was portrayed as promoting a big concert through most of that episode, barely mentioning The Who by name that I recall, and it seemed like a "normal" installment for the first part of the television programme. The latter minutes somberly dealt with the tragedy and tried to bring attention to problems with "festival" (general admission) seating for such venues.

OpenBSD has had support for a bit over four years (v7.1, though the earlier v7.0 had /some/ support).
OpenBSD 7.1, 2022-04-21 -- https://www.openbsd.org/71.html
R/AsahiLinux posting from around that time, only one comment -- https://www.reddit.com/r/AsahiLinux/comments/u8rb2o/openbsd_...
I thought I read something similar in Levy's book "Hackers" but the following is from https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.en.html
"It was Bernie Greenberg, who discovered that it was [2]. He wrote a version of Emacs in Multics MacLisp, and he wrote his commands in MacLisp in a straightforward fashion. The editor itself was written entirely in Lisp. Multics Emacs proved to be a great success—programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it. They used a manual someone had written which showed how to extend Emacs, but didn't say it was a programming. So the secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program."
The NITECORE UM10 is an "in/out" charger too - it handles various sized LiIon batteries one-at-a-time. A switch on the end determines if it is charging or discharging. Their site says it's discontinued, but I thought I recently saw them at a shop in Seattle. Time to pick up a spare.
Who else was rdev'ing the Linux kernel to tell it where the root ext2(?) partition was long before they were using RAM disks? Like with SLS or MCC?
Maybe I missed it, is there no love for the piping to an external command?
I set a mark, move to somewhere else, then save the area between where I am and the mark: ma(assign mark "a" to position), jjj(move three lines away), |a(pipe from current-position to the "a" mark then a ! prompt appears so enter...) cat >somefile (which dumps the selected text, cur-pos to mark "a", into somefile).
That was great for saving snippets of news or emails.
Also, the -j setting. Sets the line position for searches so context is available, eg using -j8 means the search is 8 lines from the top of the screen.
I've been led to believe those video thumbprints exist, but I know the hash of the perceived audio is often all that is needed for a match of what is currently being presented (movie, commercial advert, music-as-music-not-background, ...).
Cash-only here. I have not (generally) accepted pennies since the mid 1980's.
Many of the local places (Seattle - Belltown & the Market) are cool with rounding transactions to the nearest dollar, so that helps. It might also be part of being an active participant in the local society.
Why Slackware specifically?
To me, coming from Unix, it's mostly sane.
... vocal cord development ...
I've read, from a few separate sources that were not research papers, something similar that claimed the development was a result of existing in semi-aquatic environments such as home on land but swimming for food/safety. I neither agree or disagree (not my field, I don't possess appropriate background/information), but I do think of it when evolution of vocal cords is mentioned.
I don't recall the sources ATM, possibly something out of CoEvolution Quarterly or Bucky Fuller. Again, not research papers.

Nicely put (oof!). I believe it also enforced a minimal color depth, which none of our machines could directly support on their own hardware, forcing the use of remote X11 displays.
OLPC XO1 and the MNT Reform both use LiFePO4.

It's time for me to re-read the man page for bash. I was not aware of BASH_REMATCH, wow. It's in the first snippet on the linked page, and would save the hassle of using multiple var expansions of the %% and ## et al sort.
And all heavy lynx users know about changing that on the fly to Mozilla for screwy websites that claim they won't work with lynx. I'm happy that I am encountering such behavior less and less over time.
There's a better explanation in the last comment on the page You linked.
ISTR that Netscape used to have in it's README or INSTALL (or maybe an "about"-like menu entry) a note that the name of the browser is pronounced Mozilla while only being spelled N-E-T-S-C-A-P-E.
Thanks for the formatted/expanded:) repost!
Or maybe like when the virtual desktop is larger than the viewport? OLVWM-ish.
Two prehensile thumbs up - your HISTCONTROL or
HISTIGNORE='m:??:info STARHERE:info:[bf]g:exit:[bf]g %[0-9]:help STARHERE:date:cal:cal ????:exec env ENV\STARHERE' (replace STARHERE with an asterisk)
generally works for me in bash(1).
Interesting! Now I'm wondering if Leighton or Feynman was aware of these stamps (my ddg/google-fu is bad today).

Panasonic's "Let's Note" series, too. Their machines from ~2002 were quite impressive to me.
The closest I found, which partially matches my memory, was from SOS Children that claims "This selection of articles from Wikipedia matches the UK National Curriculum ..." and "... we’ve checked all the articles, tidied them up a bit, ..."

Didn't England or GB do (does?) a curated dump precisely for that purpose? I'll pull up the info tonight if no one else chimes in.
Lynx is a web browser, bookmarking a page is done by hitting "adX" as in (a)dd (d)ocument to file (X). Or (a)dd (l)ink to (X). Nice and quick. The X is usually a lower case ASCII letter corresponding to a file. You can enable this mode (and the specific bookmark files) in lynx's config file. The Emacs extension uses the same keystrokes and, optionally, the same files.
Alleviations are (I'm intentionally vague here) for getting rid of finding a link, clicking through, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, just to get to where I need to be (like adding an update to a ticket). I usually only automate processes that are intended for use by mouse/pointer-driving users with an ability to comprehend what (and where) icons are - I have a self-imposed problem withe former and a physically/mentally imposed hard time with the latter.
What are the things you’ve written in elisp that have helped you?
Usually tools to alleviate working with dumbass web-based (supposedly needing the corporate-approved browser) stuff for $DAY-JOB.
Oh, and an extension to allow emacs-w3m to handle lynx-style multibookmarks.
Older ThinkPad (pre-2008) snob checking in. The only recent laptops with decent keyboards (that I have found) are from MNT Research.
Yes. Boeing Onboard Network System (ONS) running on the Network File Server (NFS)?

FWIW, local Yellow Cab et al, in the U.S., has been doing that for /decades/ in the areas I've lived.
