For me to invest in an ARM based desktop, one essential requirement is that it must be able to do all I want with then network cable unplugged. Unless, of course, I want it to do something network related (but then we are talking about network activity completely under my control).
A second, unrelated requirement: Provided I have a case with a power supply, a modern graphics card, 32 GB of RAM, 33 TB of spinning disk and 4 TB of USB5 compatible M.2 disk, I can buy a new mobo and move all the stuff over. I don't want a completely new set of hardware and interface standards! I guess ARM-based cards with SATA, PCIe, M.2, standard PS and other relevant standards will come, but I do not expect it this year. Maybe not even next year. When it arrives (with a reasonable number of alternative), I will certainly consider the options.

I prefer other words like "eggs" (on spanish "huevos"), only a native speaker (and not all) will use its over 70 colloquial meanings correctly

Most existing noncompete clauses will also be voided. Let the competition begin
May the peeps inform me as I'm too lazy (as usual) to look it up. What's the noncompete status in the EU, UK, and Asia?

A non-compete clause in an employment contract prevents you from working for a competitor, usually for some number of years, if you quit your job.

There is something about surprising interfaces: clapping to switch on lights is more fun than a flipping a switch. Double-click with pizzicato

Well...pizzicato is for the string section. Maybe overblowing!

That's not a flute, that's a implement that every small child in the West gets to torture their parents with as they grow up... otherwise known as a... recorder!😱

That was my reaction as well, but it seems a recorder is actually a type of flute:
Quote: The recorder is a family of woodwind musical instruments in the group known as internal duct flutes: flutes with a whistle mouthpiece, also known as fipple flutes.

If you have never heard 25 third-graders playing their recorders together, you are lacking the background to understand the comment by GuyThiebaut about the recorder being an implement to torture the listener.
Hint: The exact pitch is very dependent on how you blow it; you can pull it up and down by at least a quarter-step by blowing differently. Don't expect those 25 recorders to be tuned to each other initially, but that really makes no difference anyway when third-graders are blowing them. Played by professional musicians, the recorder is a beautiful instrument. As the first instrument, made mandatory for all grade school kids to learn in Norwegian schools in my childhood, it is the worst possible choice. Even worse than then violin as a first instrument - violin starters can at least play four notes in tune, on open strings.

Maybe offtracking slightly, but I'll risk it: Every flute lover will also love Erik The Flutemaker: The Spiel[^]

C# 12 as part of .NET 8 introduced a compelling set of new features! In this post, we explore one of these features, specifically primary constructors, explaining its usage and relevance. "There can be only one"

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! 
I often roll my eyes at all these new language features and static analyzers that complain when a 10-year-old code base isn't using them.
