IMHO this is the most likely scenario

You’d die as a result of apathy.

Seconding Gibson.

See also Max Barry. Not really tech heavy…

Also Andy Weir. The Martian and Project Hail Mary

Great job. Very in depth. Thanks OP

Sure we’ve had one pandemic, but what about second pandemic…

I don’t think he knows about second pandemic 😷

Kde. I’d love to be able to give some erudite examples of why.

Alas, the default is clean and works for me. It stays out of the way.

Oh I think we have a winner….

Yes Sgt Shultz…. I zaw nothink!!!

I use MacOS at home as I have to support the fam.

Work is windows despite my best efforts to move to Linux, any flavor…

My laptop has macOS and Ubuntu and fedora and win11 (I have a vm problem and I enjoy it)

I wish I could use Fedora full time. I’m really open to whatever gets the work done. I just prefer software were open.

Something something broken clock is right twice a day…

Actually yeah. A reboot of travelers would be amazing. Because you could go in any direction….

Redo to series as is. Redo it where since so many things went wrong, we’re gonna reset the timeline.

Hell yeah 👍

It is a feature. Not a bug

2 ways

1 password manager

2. I use them very often. I have a bunch of different yes complex passwords that I’m using repeatedly throughout the day so brute force rote memory….

But yeah. Password manager

correct horse battery staple

There have been some good responses…

I’ll add my poor one.

Adventurous people, wanting to be away from others would also weigh in.

As above no one moved to Norway from the Fertile Crescent.

People had to figure out clothing and fishing and hunting and farming then how all those things we different as they move further north. James Burke, in Connections points out how the plow changed. In light sandy soils a stick works, but in heavy wet clay you need heavy curved iron plows.

So. Why? Because Bob smells, and never cleans up. We’re outta here — but over 10000 years give or take.

Surly the face eating leopard won’t eat MY face…

No. Border Collies LOVE to work. I’ve had two who were amazing. They were great at learning stuff.

So yes go train him, work his fluffy butt off.

Why can’t you be normal!??!

My dog can’t feed herself. My family seems to like having me around.

Get off of social media. Other than here I really keep my news to computer stuff that interests me

Oh hell yeah!

Neat thank you!!

And I learned a new word

Zeitgebers are external cues, such as light, that synchronize the circadian clock in organisms with the Earth’s day-night cycles.

Mammals have to breathe, so they are surfacing from time to time… so roughly they’ll know day from night.

Tides are mostly noticeable near land.

So you have deep sea creatures away from shore. They mostly won’t care about day and night as there’s no difference, with light not penetrating more that about 200 feet.

So below 200 feet, and away from shore you mostly can’t. But also it would not matter as there’s no difference

But if you were a human, in a submarine or a diving vessel where you needed to know, a clock or radio… would be about the options
