yeah, but don't you end up with cables all over the floor? What do you do for cable minimization/management/flexibility?
My daughter is a designer, and I've been working with her - specifically arguing. My office is a reconstituted dining room circa 1989. Since I had a huge family, we called it a joke. So I have two doors, and i love them two windows to let in the breeze. It's an interesting design challenge. After all these years on CP, I think I'm going to write an article.

I have cables all over the floor. The most I do, is I leave cables attached to that hub where they're ready if I need them, and (at least some) not on the floor.
You know what I've done? I used a closet hanging rod to hang my cables. You could do similar with a curtain rod or something. It's ugly, but functional.

Get power strips that clamp to the back of your desk and cable management trays you can hang off the back edge. Your desktop will still look like someone bombed a spaghetti factory, but you should at least be able to vacuum without worrying about destroying everything.

Cable management has always been an issue - looking at two 10 port USB hubs, 4 switches, 4 development systems, etc... My office furniture is a solid oak banker style desk and credenza that I picked up years ago for 10 cents on the dollar. But it really doesn't play nicely for engineering projects - I just made it work.

You can always use Google Translate on the web page.

It works until you start getting technical. And then it gets questionable.

Even for non-technical stuff Google/Bing translate are still awful at Chinese-English translations. Their frequent inability to get concepts like 'yes' vs 'no' or 'I will' vs 'you will' right a large fraction of the time make them problematic even for casual gaming use; never mind anything technical.
Sadly it's not even close to what modern translators can do going from Germanic or Romance Languages to English; it's closer to what you'd get trying to do those translations with babelfish ~25 years ago.
Japanese to English is similarly awful. Vietnamese to English was surprisingly much better. Maybe MS and Googles legal depts banned using fan translations from manga and anime as training material but were OK with scans of 50 year old war documents; or maybe Vietnamese just lacks whatever language feature causes the translators to faceplant when trying to deal with their neighbors to the north.

seriously?  just messing with you Shao.
Open source anything is a gaping security hole. But that's not on you.

Agreed. Which is why one qualifies a specific version of the project, and disables "auto update" in one's build process.
(To say nothing of the marvelous "backward compatibility" built in to many OSS projects /s)

you don't need to learn Mandarin. just put these documents into Google translation and you may get good translations...

I suppose your definition of "good" differs a bit from mine.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

A mathematician's solution - you've reduced the problem to one you couldn't solve earlier. :evil grin:

are you certain it is not Cantonese ? it is a shame Dr. Richard Feynman is no longer with us to assist w/ translation .

I'm not. I'm just playing the odds.
Although that's spoken. All the stuff is written in "Chinese (Simplified)" whatever that means.

I'm being teased hard for 2023.
Both the game Fallout: London and the Prime series Fallout are slated to be released this year.
I normally won't even watch new shows except for certain say, metal fabrication and car customization shows and such because drama gets my anxiety up something fierce, but I will risk a panic attack for this. Walton Goggins, man. Come on. Love him.
I'll take one of two, but I'm really hoping for both this year. It's not often I'm excited about game or show releases, but I'm a Fallout nut.

Don’t know about the video game but I’m a big Walter Goggins fan. He was amazing in Justified. Thanks for the heads up.

I love Fallout from a lore perspective, but being an Elder Scrolls guy myself, is not the first thing that comes to mind to play when I got nothing to do. That said Fallout:London does look amazing, it gives me Enderal levels of content quality vibes from what I saw so far.
As for the series, I basically gave up on American produced content a while back, but I got hope this will be one of the rare exceptions. The production quality seems on point from what I've seem, let's hope it doesn't fizzle out like Westworld did.

Walton Goggins is always worth watching, IMO. I heard he plays a ghoul in the series.

After the brilliant HBO's "The last of us" I have high expectations, for shows based on post-apocalyptic computer games.
