There's also situations where you want the computer to be truly off (without loosing your open documents etc), to the point where you can take out the battery and it's no big deal.

Also, for work my fancy new computer has fancy new "modern suspend", which isn't actually suspend at all. The fan is still spinning and it's generating lots of heat. Not great in backpacks and certainly not great in industrial field work where there are areas where non rated powered electronics are not allowed due to potential explosive atmosphere.

Meanwhile hibernate is still hibernate. The computer is actually fully powered down.

    Terrain modifications and tunnels get real expensive real fast. Avoid it or keep it small in the early game.

    Also, while goods pay better the longer distance you transport them, they pay less the longer time it takes. Some goods depreciate faster than others, there's a graph for each. So don't sit around on the station too long waiting for a full load of passengers.

    Just a heads up that tire longevity is not a good indicator for a good tire, the primary factor is grip. In both both dry, wet and soaking wet conditions, warm and cold. That's why stopping distance and slalom speeds are tested during the annual tire comparison review. A good tire can also pump more water to prevent aqua planing than a bad tire. A good tire will remain more soft and grippy in colder temperatures than a bad tire. Tire noise and ride comfort can also differ between good and bad tired.

    Doing stuff that makes it easier to deploy and maintain KDE/Linux for enterprises and other large organisations, like government institutions, where an IT department does centralised management of the computer (updates, access policy, restrictions, printer configurations etc etc)

    On windows, Notepad++ compare plugin let's you compare unsaved files. So to compare two texts copied from elsewhere, just make two new tabs and paste the texts. Compare plugin will happily compare line by line.

    On Linux I havent found something similar. The closes is Kate, but you still have to save tmp1.txt and tmp2.txt , and remove the clutter when finished.

    Does anybody know a compare app that just lets you paste two text blocks without saving files first?
