En itsekään mikään asiantuntija ole, mutta yksi ero polttoaineissa ainakin on sen puhtaus ja väkevyys. Aina kun maaperästä louhitaan jotain ainetta, niin se ei koskaan ole puhdasta, vaan siinä on vääjämättä seassa erilaista muuta maa-ainesta. Louhittu uraanimalmi käy läpi useita prosesseja, joilla uraani saadaan erotettua muusta aineesta (tätä kutsutaan rikastamiseksi), ja muutettua reaktorille sopivaan muotoon. Valtaosa luonnossa esiintyvästä uraanista on sen isotooppia uraani-238:aa, joka ei sovellu ydinpolttoaineeksi. Uraani pitää väkevöidä reaktorille sopivaan väkevyyteen, eli siten, että siinä on oikea määrä uraani-235:ttä.

This is a good point. Black PSU and motherboard might stand out too much in that light, white-ish case.

I agree with this. Could easily save $200 buying some older and lower spec components. CPU choice is probably because of the iGPU, but there are other cheaper CPUs with iGPU. I don't think the use case is going to require more computing power in the future, so I don't know if future proofing is really necessary. If the use case changes some few years from now, you need to buy new components regardless of your choices today. Save some money now and put it towards a future upgrade.

16GB DDR4 is enough. That's about $40 off. SSD is pointlessly big for the use case. 250GB might be enough, but even 512GB would be a bit cheaper.

CPU could be downgraded to something a couple generations older. Motherboard can also be downgraded, unless that one has some important features. That saves at least $150 total.

PSU is a complicated question. Cheaper would be enough, but you might lose money over time in your electricity bill. That's kind of difficult to calculate.

Depending on your needs, virtual machine might be the easiest solution.

There's a bug with the side buttons. After you long press a side button, the next short press won't do anything. Kind of annoying.

Their "brand-new UI" isn't much of a change. At least, I haven't noticed any significant improvements. Toggle buttons are now rectangle, instead of the rounded pill shape, and some icons are different. I think they changed the system font, but I changed it back.

Dark Mode in Neo Reader is an improvement, except that I don't use that app. Quickly tested it, and it doesn't seem to invert images, so you won't see them in dark mode. Systemwide dark mode would have been a significant UI improvement. Hopefully they'll come up with one some day.

The best improvement I have noticed is the new anti-flicker feature. When using "speed" refresh mode (I think it's called "balanced" on other devices), the display flickered annoyingly if there was any animation.

Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.

I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.

Fun fact: Black tea is called red tea in China, because of the color.

L-theanine might help with caffeine's side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It's believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.

Absolutely bonkers, they were testing that thing so close to population. There are residential areas within about 1km/mile from the test site. In one of the videos, it sounds like the blast wave destroyed some window. So, even if that thing would have only exploded during the test, it would have caused harm in those areas. Luckily, it landed on an empty area.

Finland indeed is UTC+3 (EEST, East European Summer Time), so your times seem correct.

Fan Control is great. Like you mentioned, the possibility to create mix fan curves is really helpful. For example, if either CPU or GPU gets hot, you can set all the case fans to ramp up. There are good guide videos on YouTube that shows how to set it up.
