I didn't realise bang operators work even when DuckDuckGo itself is down.

That's pretty neat, I don't need to change the search in the address bar, just add '!g' to every search to seamlessly redirect to Google until DuckDuckGo is back.

Same here, I get a scary looking page from Cloudflare Gateway saying "Access to this site has been blocked by the Protective DNS Service".

The Chinese government subsidising the manufacture of wheelchairs doesn't sound as nefarious as you're making out. I would be proud if my government did the same thing.

I use this as it's the default on Manjaro Sway. The interface is straightforward and (despite the general jankiness of Bluetooth) it's pretty reliable.

I get the same feeling; every time a museum or archive expands its collection, it's taking on a long-term responsibility for those objects.

Put your discovered objects in a warehouse, now their survival is conditional on the continued funding of whatever institution owns the building. If the items are in fancy climate-controlled storage units, who will maintain the air conditioning and pay the electricity bill for the next ten, fifty, or a hundred years?

I'm sure people who work at archives have to think about these questions on time-scales much longer than those offered by grants or rounds of charity fundraising.

I wasn't aware you needed a license to use the DVD format. Does this deprecation of the licensing scheme suggest any opportunities for creative uses of DVD?

What's the situation for Blu-Rays?

Another comparison with air safety, the disaster risk threshold is high enough to ground vehicles with suspected faults or flaws.

In this case two self-driving cars crashed into another road vehicle because they failed to recognise (in time) which direction it was moving. Waymo should be commended for having voluntarily issued a software recall, but this problem is severe enough that the decision shouldn't really be up to Waymo's good judgement.
