M920q/M720q tiny with a PCIe riser (10-15$) and you have a very capable opnsense/openwrt box which can fit 4x1Gbit/s or 2x5/10 Gbit/s port network cards.
I run it virtualized (easier for backups/rollbacks) on mine with PCIe passthrough of the network card, sips power and is rock solid.

It's often forgotten in the flamewars that it resulted in a block size increase on both sides of the fork. One of them with a hard fork and one with a soft fork (segwit).
There are quotes from Satoshi where he writes about bigger blocks but also ones where he writes about keeping blocks small. In the end Satoshi does not get to decide, the network participants do, which I think is one of the best aspects of Bitcoin.

I think the polls being so sure of the winner was one of the drivers behind people who would have voted for Hillary staying home, since "it was a sure thing".

First job I had was programming for a mobile device with 4MB RAM, of which 2 MB were reserved, and a 🐌-slow ARM CPU.
Even though it's been ages, I still catch myself coding for a device like that, even though the code is running on something with a bajillion times the resources and it doesn't really matter if it takes 10 or 100ms.

Exactly, they are not with us, so humans interpret the verses in those books. Even if the books were perfectly preserved, that has no impact on whether the contents are true, if I have a perfectly preserved 2000 year old book that says "2+2 is 5", that doesn't mean it's true.
Regarding references:
"Men are above women" & "Husbands can beat their wives" = Quran 4:34
"Child rape is legal" = Aisha (the youngest wife) was 9 at the time of consummation (rape)
"Rape of female slaves" = Quran 4:24
"Apostates should be killed" = Quran 4:89 - which might explain why many muslim majority countries punish apostasy with death or imprisonment - see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam_by_country#/media/File%3AApostasy_laws_world_map.svg
I base my value judgements on my opinions yes, they are of course heavily influenced by the culture and time I grew up in and are subject to change if I encounter new information or convincing arguments.
Let me ask you a question: Is slavery good or bad? (hint: if you have to look it up in your holy book of choice, you are morally corrupt).

Those so called prophets you speak of, are they here with us today to tell you how to interpret the books? No...
When I hear religious nutjobs use their religious texts to justify that men are above women, that husbands can beat their wives, that child rape is legal and that apostates have to be killed - then I use my own judgement and decide those people (and their books) are immoral and evil.

It is optimized for time to market and low cost. JS devs are a lot cheaper than the alternatives and the output (crappy and bloated as it is) runs ok-ish on most platforms without much effort if you have a new-ish fast computer with lots of cores, an SSD and 32+GB RAM, which most of the developers and execs ofc do.
The end user on the other hand often uses a device that's a lot slower and/or older and are often running lots of these turd apps at the same time eating up ressources and bogging their system down.

If you have one UTXO with 1 BTC in it and you split it into two 0.5BTC UTXOs (ignore fees for now), which one of the two new UTXOs contain the first satoshi from the original UTXO?
From what I understand ordinals/runes just adds some "lens" on top the UTXOs where they get to decide what they think happens to sats as UTXOs are spent and new ones are created.

They won't ban apple products, an agreement will be reached somehow (in or out of court) and apple will comply.

Apple does if they want to sell stuff in the EU. They know complaining publicly gets them nowhere in China so they don't.
