   Here in the UK, Neutral is blue, Earth is Yellow & Green striped, and Live is Brown. Unless... the wiring is over ~30 years old, in which case it's Black + Red for Neutral and Live.

   Looking at this, makes me wish (again!) that there was a globally agreed colour scheme for Live/Neutral/Earth wiring....

   Enjoyed that. Totally nerdy, and the sort of thing I probably wrote when I was young. Small note: the <title> tag for the page says 'placeholder'.

   Thank you for that. Pasting a long document as multiple images via a Twitter thread needs to be some sort of punishable crime.

    Are the caps made of the same exact plastic as the bottles? If not, then these become mixed-type-plastic and cannot be recycled by most [UK] authorities.

    IIRC, one of the screen savers on SPARCstations was Conway's Game of Life, with each 'cell' being the SUN logo. I loved it at the time. As the logo is effectively a diamond, the cell pattern was rotated 45 degrees which was a

    Fun fact: The rotating ball in the famous Amiga Boing Ball demo, is actually a single static image, with the rotation effect created using palette cycling.

    The main problem with the Windows Registry, is that it doesn't clean up after itself... Programs are unlikely to fully purge their settings, and even Windows leaves detritus everywhere (just look in the USB enumeration keys - EVERYTHIN

    I have some old Dell laptops that most definitely don't do that. Left running on AC for several hours, the batteries get very warm due to the constant trickle charging.

    VB6 IDE doesn't play nice with Windows 10 anymore - There's a few glitches that make it irritating. On the upside msvbvm60.dll is still shipped with Windows 10 and 11, so a lot of VB6 apps will still just 'run'.

    Both vb.net and C# compile to the same bytecode. So fundamentally, if you code for a hobby or are a lone coder, it's down to what you prefer (I prefer vb.net over C#), however organisations made it clear early on that C# was much prefe
