Getting security fixes is pretty much the entire point of the LTSC build.
LTSC gets all security patches and fixes for critical bugs, but no feature updates. The only thing is it's not intended for general desktop use so it's missing a few things like the Microsoft Store (that I honestly assume most people don't care about? but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)E: and if you can't upgrade to Windows 11 anyways, then you're not missing out on the feature updates because regular W10 isn't getting them either.

Comment on Kalle Rovanperä will quit the World Rally Championship at the end of the 2025 season, pursuing a career in circuit racing instead in ~sports.motorsports

He already did a partial season last year and definitely hasn't seemed to be as interested during interviews this year compared to 2022/2023.
Main reason I'm bummed is that I don't think anyone of his caliber will be left in the sport after this year (when, presumably, Ogier wins a 9th title and finally retires for real), and there aren't any young guys who seems quite so promising.
Anyways, I digress, it definitely makes sense. Especially when you think about the fact that Ogier and Loeb didn't win championships until they were 29 and 30, respectively, and Kalle is only 25 right now*. He could theoretically do circuit racing for 5 years and still come back to WRC for a GOAT career (though I think the chance of him coming back for any full time drive is effectively nought). He's been rallying for a long time and wants to try dominate in other forms of motorsport, too. I think I'll have to start at least following, if not watching, Super Formula next year.
I bet Solberg takes his seat next year, though, so that simplifies things for TGR WRT a bit.

I wish the graphics were better and some of the damage seems a little unfair (hitting small wooden poles on the side of the rode or even bike lane separators can total the car) but the physics in general feel the best of any rally sim I've played. I also like the variation in cars a lot.

Comment on Modos debuts an open-source e-paper with a 75-Hz refresh rate in ~tech
kari Link ParentYeah, at least on my Kobo Libra 2 it's a setting and you can set how often it should full refresh.I think the devices tries to do the full refresh every so many pages, or at chapter breaks, whichever is sooner.

I'm not super into the "small phone" thing or anything but I just got the battery replaced on my 13 Pro. The phone feels basically as good as new now.
For me, USB-C charging is maybe the only upgrade I care about on newer iPhones but I'll probably just keep this and eventually switch to a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS (assuming it's still supported) whenever this thing dies for real.

I only really work past 5 maybe once every two or three months when something important happens that's specifically my fault/responsibility. I'd still prefer if it were fully remote, though, (and I actually 100% used to work harder until they made us switch to 3 days in office instead of fully remote in 2023).

Aren't Hue bulbs on Zigbee? I guess the app not working when you're away from home during the outage makes sense but I was controlling mine totally fine the whole time (though it was already well underway by the time I woke up, maybe it'd been partially fixed).
