It just seems hypocritical to leave Reddit over the forcing users to their 1st party app by pricing out 3rd party app developers, and go to a platform that has no mobile apps.

@black_flag_astronaut I have made a Windows recovery USB drive, will see if it can stay powered up booted from that for any length of time maybe this weekend.

I have an old Surface Pro 3 that will only power on if I've left it unplugged for a few weeks, and it only stays on for a few minutes (with power plugged in and notifications indicating it is charging). I've tried all the button combinations (with the various wait " seconds then hold this other button combo for Y seconds) for doing a hard power cycle, no help. Don't think it's a heatsink issue (is cool to the touch and shouldn't take weeks to cool off). Just want to do an OS reset and dispose.

Qubits 30 meters apart used to confirm Einstein was wrong about quantum (arstechnica.com)

From the article:

A new experiment uses superconducting qubits to demonstrate that quantum mechanics violates what's called local realism by allowing two objects to behave as a single quantum system no matter how large the separation between them. The experiment wasn't the first to show that local realism isn't how the Universe works—it's not even the first to do so with qubits.

But it's the first to separate the qubits by enough distance to ensure that light isn't fast enough to travel between them while measurements are made. And it did so by cooling a 30-meter-long aluminum wire to just a few milliKelvin. Because the qubits are so easy to control, the experiment provides a new precision to these sorts of measurements. And the hardware setup may be essential for future quantum computing efforts.
