Yeah, I tried booting an emulator handheld I've been gifted a year ago and pretty much hadn't played since then, and the battery didn't hold more than a minute of charge. Moreover, while googling for replacement batteries, I came upon an article saying this and some other devices have screws positioned such that the heads pierce the battery if it ever starts swelling.

FYI, old Reddit works for me, though I've heard that it requires logging in now (which I do anyway). On Android, the RedReader app works because they allowed it for the focus on accessibility for the blind — but I was already using it for the minimalist approach.

Back in the day I followed a blogger who was a designer and also travelled over the world. He had the habit of photographing local infrastructure like trash bins, lamp posts and such. He's said, infrastructure all over the US looks the same, including even overseas territories. When one is dropped off in US Virgin Islands, they could think they's in the continental US if not for the trees.

Most annoying thing about ‘å’. Danes adopted it as a replacement for the digraph ‘aa’, to distance themselves from Germans. And slapped it at the end of the alphabet. But later dropped its use, since they were habituated to ‘aa’ anyway. So now ‘Aarhus’, where ‘aa’ technically stands in for ‘å’, must be sorted at the end of a list, but ‘aardvark’ at the beginning.

Use and transfer of Docker may be subject to certain restrictions by the United States and other governments. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use and/or transfer does not violate applicable laws.

That's true of all software. It may be subject to restrictions by governments. But in this case, it seems to refer to the fact that the US restricted export of cryptographic software, and seemingly continues to restrict. See also Bernstein v. United States.
