I don't know how it works in your country, but in RU you only tap to get in, not to get out. There are no barriers to get out. 1. The card stores not only your ticket/cash data, but also your trips 2. You live far from the metro,

Yeah, somehow nobody invented HCI for Wi-Fi chips. USB has it, Bluetooth has it, but not Wi-Fi.

Go to Klipper → Configure Clipboard → Shortcuts And set shortcut for "Next History Item" and "Previous History Item". Believe me, it would be much better. Configure WIN+A and WIN+S for example.

Printers of the 80s and early 90s were more performant PCs than the typical PC which printed on it. Because you can't process full color 600 DPI page on the 90s PC with 8-16 MB of RAM, but the printer needs to do that.

So far we haven't found any card with binned RAM. All memory is working and doesn't flip bits.
