    Space - The Final Frontier

    With shielding against various forms of radiation I would think so. Old radios still work etc. These days perhaps a Starship filled with goodies could do a similar task as Voyager? Just send it in the opposite direction. :coolsmiley:

    Electric Vehicles - Models Discussion

    Volvo sold 8,892 cars in 2023 across all models. The number I quoted was for their most popular model only. If you really want to geek out you can find the source data from OFV (close tied to our DMV) in Norwegian here - Google Translate can help you out: https://ofv.no/registreringsstatistikk

    Why get a stationary computer?

    Thank you all for lots of great ideas. I especially like the thought of a larger screen. I do not do much gamimg or video processing so perhaps a larger monitor for my laptop would be a nice way to start.

    Why get a stationary computer?

    I have a laptop computer which I use for everything. And two portable drives I use for a rotating backup scheme. I see people here and elsewhere buying stationary desktop computers like iMacs or similar Microsoft variants. What do you use those for that you cannot do on a laptop computer...
