No. This would require the driver to keep the car perfectly aligned... Unless...
What if we used some sort of auto-steering system. Like, if the wheels had no ability to go anywhere other than the track.
And metal wheels on a metal road is going to have the least friction and least wear and... oh fuck we just re-invented trains

    Yeh, exactly.
    And the "dynamic DNS" part handles your public IP address changing with 0 pain.
    You either buy a domain (like example.com), or there are free domain name providers that give you a subdomain (like mycooldomain.example.com) of one of their domains.
    You then run an additional service on your home server that checks what the current public IP address is. If it changes, it notifies the DNS responsible for your domain/subdomain, which then points to your new public IP.
    To connect to your VPN, you only ever care about "mycooldomain.example.com" and never the underlying IP address.

    ...
    As long as your ISP isn't running CG-NAT of course 😵‍💫

    Is it decoupling content from presentation? I bet it's decoupling from presentation.
    Which is why LaTeX is so popular for scientific papers.

    Although I struggled to read the article.

    Yeh, but is extremely outside of any manufacturers control for consumer level gear.
    For mission-critical satellites or space crafts, then it's either a 3-way-quorum or extremely ruggedised processors specifically designed for the radiation of space (with a massive performance penalty).

    It's not something you buy off the shelf. It is a specific requirement that is built in at all levels of hardware, firmware and software.

    So, if the steam machine is designed for high radiation environments then it's steams fault.
    Seeing as it isn't, a cosmic bit flip that is actually able to impact hardware negatively is so extremely unlikely that it isn't Steam's issue. At all.

    after tracing a rare bacterium in the city's reclaimed water to Goat Systems LLC, the entity Meta uses to build its Cheyenne campus. In a notice reported by Cowboy State Daily, the Board said Goat Systems was in significant noncompliance for discharging water carrying Cupriavidus gilardii, a metal-resistant bacterium that interfered with two water reclamation plants and pushed the reuse system offline for months of cleanup.

    I am guessing the fact that the reclamation and reuse systems required months of offline-cleanup after a rare "metal-resistant" bacteria was detected suggests that their processing abilities are tailored towards common harmful bacteria, with detection to alert issues from uncommon bacteria.

    Say a pest exterminator is used to using an air rifle to deal with a rat problem (it's a shit example, but work with me here). Turning up to a rat infestation that also has bears with only an air rifle probably means running away and coming back with a new technique.
