This article recommended the Mira CM-6M for impact protection. Do you know the Czech designation for that one?

I think ydotoold has an equivalent to sleep built in. A good while back I wrote a quick ydotoold command to automate something like 100 keypresses with delays in between. Let me know in 12 hours if you haven’t gotten that figured out and I can find you the commands

None of these are what he’s asking about. He wants windows installed on a flash drive, so he can boot to it and be in the OS, with windows seeing the flash drive as C:

My work revolves around taking tons of data with a python script, then processing it and generating graphs in another script. E.g. I measure y as I modify v, p, s, and f. And then at each v, p, and s, I look at y vs. f and extract some value k, then look at k vs s at each v, p and extract a j, then plot j vs v and p.

How would labplot fit into this? I’ve been thinking about what the next change in my plotting would be, and I’ve considered either adding on-click functionality to my existing script so I can click a v, p, j point to see the k vs s graph that gave that j; or possibly using some library that gives some web-browser based control of graphing. But if labplot seems well suited to this I can also add it into the contenders

That’s basically spyder

How do you like the sleep tracking? Is it fairly accurate? I tried a cheap Colmi ring and the sleep data was all over the place, registering sleep when I had insomnia and occasionally awake when I was asleep

I second this. The initial setup is the hard part. Give it a couple days. The arch wiki is the best resource in the whole Linux ecosystem in my opinion. If that’s the long manual you were looking at for installing steam, know that 90% of it is info on strange edge cases and all a typical user will need to do is sudo pacman -Syu then sudo pacman -S steam (I forgot you have to enable the multilib repository if you haven’t already. You seem smart, you’ll find the info in the wiki)

A couple times a year or so something will break after an update. When that happens

1. Google if anyone else has posted your exact problem
2. See if chatgpt knows anything
3. Humbly post in the arch user forum

One of those will solve it. Good luck!

Do something about it

Sounds like you’re thinking of 538’s election needle, not polling data. If a candidate has 60% of the votes in a poll, assuming the poll is accurate, they win 100% of the time. The standard deviation on a population this big is practically 0
