Hey, finally a topic I can contribute something to (I dabble in making my own olive oil).

Depending on what you mean by chemical methods, you might not be 100% correct. The vast majority of food grade olive oil (including really high quality stuff) is extracted by crushing the olives into a mash, mixing it with warm water and spinning the resulting paste in a centrifuge. The quality varies according to the quality of the fruit, when it's picked, how much oil you're trying to squeeze out, and the variables you control are basically the temperature and quantity of water in the mash. It's classified as virgin or extra virgin according to the chemical composition, and the "cold pressed" is more of a marketing term than an actual process. It's nowadays supposed to mean that the mash doesn't get over a certain temperature in the extraction, but if it did it would be poor quality oil anyway, so it's pretty meaningless for "decent or above" oil quality. Purely mechanically pressed oil is exceedingly rare and has a more muted flavor because it skips the process of mixing the mash with water, which activates the aromatic compounds.

Edit: all that being said, the bizarre wording in the meme undoubtedly means that the oil is garbage tier.

    Haagen Dazs never had anything to do with Europe, it was started in the Bronx by a dude that wanted the name to sound posh so he went for a vaguely Danish sounding name.

    If a screen is connected that's another thing, though even that can lead to overheating. For example, a lot of modern laptops suck in air through the keyboard and having the lid closed while working messes up their thermal performance, and heats up the screen to an unhealthy degree.

    But having it wake up and try installing an update while sitting in a bag, closed and disconnected from a screen, is a straight up fire hazard, and it happened to me multiple times with windows laptops.

    It absolutely isn't. If a laptop lid is closed, it needs to be sleeping, period. No random updates, no search indexing. I've also had this happen after explicitly putting laptops into sleep AND closing the lid. No idea how Apple is the only company able to do this consistently.

    There's a quote in the text that explains it: "When it was submitted for consideration, a representative of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33."

    I'm utterly indifferent both on the merits of the game (it's OK but I'm not spellbound) and genAI in development (as long as it doesn't make it into the finished product) -- just pointing out that those were the rules that Sandfall agreed to.

    Well, there's official support for some third party handhelds if I remember correctly? Asus and the like? And they just announced that the steam frame (vr headset) will also run steamos, and that's on a snapdragon ARM SoC. Pretty exciting stuff ahead
