  • There’s a Firefox addon by Mozilla called “Container Tabs”, it allows you to make seperate “containers” for tabs, allowing you to seperate shopping, social media, etc. There are also 3rd party extensions to make specific containers for Google, Amazon, Facebook, and so on. It’s very useful for separating your online life whilst maintaining one browser!

    Edit: also, you can set a color for different containers and it shows that color in a thin bar at the top of the tab, which shows on all tabs. Non-container’d tabs don’t have a bar at all.



  • Is this question assuming air pressure and gravity loss at higher altitudes, or is it assuming that the full structure would have a consistent air pressure and gravity? If so, would it be from sea level?

    A standard party balloon is around 3 grams if I had to guesstimate, so you could probably figure out how much weight it would take to burst a single balloon, and divide that by 3 grams to get the number of balloons. The main problem with that is the varying amounts that buoyancy and gravity would provide the upward or downward forces.


  • Not necessarily! The Chromebook version starts at 1k, with a no-OS one 50 below that, both pre-assembled. Additionally, the higher build quality with the ease of part replacements would significantly reduce the load when it comes to repairs. The downsides of course are the high up-front cost, but this could be reduced by releasing in groups (by grade level, for example.) Also, an advantage with unrestricted devices like this is that it’s very easy to flash/install whatever you want, including whatever user permissions and applications are needed to ensure smooth operation (e.g. specific DNS/VPN configuration for content blocking or access to school materials.)

    Either that, or I’m speaking out my ass. Still though, there’s a lower carbon footprint involved when you don’t need to huck the whole device in the trash once something breaks. That should at least be some kind of incentive…
