- At last an inexpensive >1Gb Ethernet switch. (AnandTech)
This only took seven forevers. Good fucking work, entire tech industry.

Step 1: Don't.
Though to be fair, at least the Raspberry Pi can used for something else after you get tired of watching a hamster ride a bicycle.
- How to run Steam games on a Raspberry Pi. (Tom's Hardware)
Fun game: How many computers have you owned that collectively were less powerful than a Raspberry Pi? I have four Macs, a Silicon Graphics O2 and a Sun Ultra 5 that combined wouldn't put a dent in it.
- Loren Chariot Addy the Titbit of Cholame questioned Cele Garth Alda and 16 windy frogs. (GitHub)

- Well, if your entire lab disappears, that would be a sign. (Quanta)

Derek Lowe's "things I won't work with" has some of the best turns of phrase in the same vein as 'quantum black hole eats your facility' I've ever come across. The most memorable refers to a compound as the thing you scrape out of the bottom of the crater where a lab used to be.
