Sputnik 1 was the first artifical satellite put into orbit. Based on how you define "first rocket in space", it might have been Nazi Germany with their V2 rockets

but LMDE especially will be subject to dealing with older software
Are you sure about this? As far as I know, debian modernized their repos quite a bit even compared to ubuntu, that also sparked some controversy from debian long time fans especially because they wanted more dated, stable software. Never used LMDE though, so I'm not sure if it applies
The Alps are pretty freacking impressive. You see these enormous pointy rocks in the background and your brain knows how massive these mountains are. They are incredible.
History showed it many times: people who annex never ever make it better for the annexed. They always exploit and things get worse.
It's nice if you find ancient rubble in your field. Then there are places like Rome where every pound of dirt you dig you uncover some Roman things and the authorities must come and check if thinga have to be preserved. Imagine the hell that was digging the underground metro lines...
Quite significant in theory, DDR3 maxes out at about 2000 MT/s (mega transfer per seconds) while DDR5 can go above 8000 MT/s, so about 3x-4x. I don't know if this metric already includes the capability of DDR ram to access multiple data in a clock cycle, but I think it does. If it doesn't, the difference is even higher.
Of course in practice the difference is not as remarkable, but still noticeable. Still, DDR3 is perfectly usable with a decent processor (light gaming and professional software), my main rig is a 4th generation i7 and I have no intention of upgrading for the foreseeable future.
Extra: still use ddr3 and watch the world burn, but slower
That is one case, which is the reason why it's usually culturally/genetically frowned upon. The other reason I guess is to prevent abuse in a parent/child relationship, where it's different because there's a power difference
I think the best is Italy's, Venezuela's and Uriguay's "Illegal only if it provokes public scandal"
Since Mastercard and Visa are american, money eventually travel through the US
Unfortunately, that is not really possible.
The UEFI standard, a pdf that describes in detail the unified system that all motherbpards use during the boot process, is 1200+ pages long. And that's only one of the many subsystems in a modern system (that gigantic pdf tells you nothinf about PCI, about ACPI and usb, nor any other hardware peripheral). Also, since you are talking about a modern system, you also would need kernel, drivers and operating system calls documentation. All of these exist (for an open source OS like linux, and if you follow the aforementioned standards), but bundling them in a book, and keeping them uodated, would be just impossible.
Make icons great again. I want an OS with 1920s style icons.
