This is already possible using an autounattend file.
https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ is fantastic.
Use Microsoft's Media Creation Tool to create a windows installer USB, add the XML file to the root of the USB disk, reinstall windows exactly how you want it.

(If you are feeling fancy, download the windows iso, and repack it with the autounattend.xml file in it, then drop it onto a Ventoy USB stick)

To clarify, that's the collision of 2 dark matter particles.
Not the collision of a dark matter particle and something else.

researchers report that they have detected the invisible scaffolding based on gamma rays that result from the collision and resulting annihilation of two dark matter particles.

So, that's 2 particles of this unobservable (or, difficult to observe) matter interacting with eachother in an observable way.
Very cool

Huh.
So the UK has previously failed to block encryption. And somehow the Online Safety Act got pushed through to PrOtEcT ThE ChiLDrEn - requiring age verification for all adult content.
Resulting in a study by ministers on how VPNs stop OfCom from enforcing the OSA.
Which is a thing VPNs do. So it's very likely VPNs get de-anonymised, regulated or outlawed.

Seems like there is a war on the actual internet, owning device and services.

Why don't they licence IP addresses? Require a change to IPv6 and just assign everyone a IPv6/48 block at birth. That means there are 281 billion birth assignments available, with everyone getting septillions of personal addresses - actually more than you could provision in a vibe coded k8s manifest.

If there are 200 million births per year (it's apparently 135 million atm), thats well over 1000 years before we run out of IPv6/48 blocks (1400 years, to be slightly more accurate. At a constant 135m births per year, thats 2000 years. But conservatively, 1000 years before we reuse IPv6/48 blocks... If we don't reduce the block size to represent year born or something)

Fuck.
The good internet is gone. The convenient internet is fading fast.

American airliners sold passenger data to ICE.

Why the fuck would I go there as a tourist?
Enjoy TSA's finest just to be ICEd once I get to my hotel?
Fuck that, I can have a better holiday in Europe.

What a cunt

Even the shitty mobile ads of "someone watching prerecorded gameplay and commenting it".
How obvious can you be?! "Oh wow, these 2 different people playing EXACTLY the same and saying almost the same thing".
That's not an ad.
Never mind that the gameplay in the ad is an extremely minor part of the game. The rest is some sort of city-builder with mtx shortcuts.

It's just whaling

It's more than just views. It's rewatches, binge watches, complete vs interrupted episode watches, probably even time skips.
Likely also where the view comes from, like a specific search vs general recommendations vs targeted recommendations

Obviously it's a fart counter. Resets at midnight.
OP has been busy!

Trees!
Trees store lots of environmental and atmospheric data in their trunks. When they get fossilized a lot of that information remains intact.
Also, ice cores. Layers of ice protect previous layers of ice from further contamination, so are a pretty good snapshot of the environment/atmosphere at a given point in time.

Wiki has more detailed information on how Miyake Events are "stored" in trees and ice cores.

Generally the chemistry and any features of the battery.

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Button_cell#Type_designation

C means Lithium. The R means Round.

The IS IEC spec that defines the coding is 60086-3

Use stringly-typed everything, and always padStart your numbers.
Saves running into issues with numbers outside the 52-bit integer range.
And padding start means you don't have to worry about pesky sort functions.

Just don't do maths. Simple.

Maybe you could do a manual sort.
Provide a "captcha" prompt, and ask which comes first in the list... You know, to make sure the user is a human! And you get free sorting.
