A tank can do nothing to a drone, lol. If you brought a tank to my place, it would hold its ground till the first drone visits it.

In my civilian perception, tank is mostly useless. Especially given the price.

Thanks! Noted.

Hey, I was a fan of Asimov’s genius when I was a kid, but that was some time ago, and I remember only The Gods Themselves. As I read it many times, that’s my favourite. Are there any others you’d recommend? I mean, of course I plan to enjoy them all. But perhaps there are some recommendations for a stranger to read this, and then that, and then something else too.

I thought about it, and I must admit I haven’t read it (yet). Yet, the TV series adaptation, it looks like the latest episode was like WTAF?! I mean, I won’t be surprised it would be a completely different adaptation.

Hey, we’re yet to discover whether Hari Seldom would become a villain! With this end of the last season, you’d never know!

An idiot was wrong, what a surprise, New York Times.

Well, if you have that laptop just lying around otherwise, why not. I have a similar situation at my in-laws. They have an ink printer that needs cleaning periodically, which is triggered via software. I know how to do that from a built-in Windows app, so I have no idea hope to use Wine for that. That laptop has been lying around mostly unused, so not a big deal. Just grab it, wait till it boots, could take five minutes.

But I thought of first installing Linux on that laptop, so it would be useful. And then, I could clean the printer heads from any laptop I have, which is much more useful too. I keep Windows around only because of that.

Your use-case seems different, yet I thought we have some similarities here. I haven’t tried the VM way yet. But I just hope a lot it would solve my problem.

Have you considered a virtual machine for that super rare use-case?
