As far as I'm aware, you can't buy a prebuilt computer that ticks all of those boxes. System76 has Coreboot-supported laptops, but they don't offer it with their desktops because it's nearly impossible. And you can just forget about Libreboot, since it barely runs on anything. Neither is exactly ideal for modern systems, though...

The best you can do is build your own, but even then, it still requires the Intel FSP. Installing your own distro would be as simple as plugging in a flash drive with the installer when you're done.

These findings are limited and require further investigation before we can say for sure. It'd certainly be interesting if our initial estimates were off by several orders of magnitude.

Motivated by the possibility that a cooling delay caused by crystallization can be directly detected for this white dwarf we employ a variety of methods to constrain the age of the system; however, our empirical age anomaly of +3.1±1.9 Gyr is ultimately too imprecise to reach statistical significance, preventing us from making strong constraints to models of white dwarf crystallization.

Jerboa is very limited unfortunately. I would recommend using the website to change your settings.

In this simulated view of Mars with enhanced color and contrast, darker grey-toned areas of Mars represent grey-black basaltic sands of volcanic origin; lighter patches show clay and sulphate minerals; and the large scar across the planet's face is Valles Marineris.

These photos are heavily exaggerated, with their contrast boosted. It's a great way to visualize the rock and mineral composition in different regions. To the naked eye, Mars would look pretty much as you'd expect. Still really cool though!

You can actually find similar photos of the moon, too. Wallpaper material for sure.

For sure, it's such an earworm. Honestly, there's so many good songs in the album, it's hard to pick a favourite. Black Cadillacs, Satin in a Coffin, Bukowski and The View are all great contenders, too.

OpenMW is basically the gold standard if you want to play Morrowind in 2023. Can't say I'm not looking forward to Skywind though—the newer engine and assets are insane.

My personal favourite engine remake is OpenRCT2. Rollar Coaster Tycoon still holds a special place in my heart even with all the newer titles. Multiplayer alone is a literal game-changer.

"We found that the more time people spent in space, the larger their ventricles became," said Rachael Seidler, a professor of applied physiology and kinesiology at the University of Florida and an author of the study. "Many astronauts travel to space more than one time, and our study shows it takes about three years between flights for the ventricles to fully recover."

Space has proven challenging for the human body. I know that prolonged habitation affected bone density and increased the risk of kidney stones, but are there any other well-documented health concerns?

[EDIT] I looked into it and found a few other concerns:

  • Vision problems
  • Muscle density loss
  • Radiation sickness ( ! )
  • Weakened immune system
