Stand corrected, every motherboard I'd had experience with had it connected to a post buzzer.
Never thought there be a case where it wouldn't be included, as it was essential back then (I'm of the mind they still should, as well as power and activity leds, which seem to have disappeared from laptops)

Well older to a point. Go back to to anytime before late 2000s and every board had a speaker!

Or when the same thing happened with Paul McCartney collaborating with Rhianna on 'FourFive seconds' - apparently Paul was a new up and comer!

That's 'dressed all round' what I'm assuming is finished milled. I'm a very amateur diyer - I'd imagine that if you went to a timber yard here they'd probably have a good idea what you were after. Just read online that most bulk wood is bought by the cubic metre, but all dimensioned wood is by the linear metre.

what's the metric equivalent of ordering "four-quarter" boards?

We have a lot of standard sizes that seem to be based on imperial - 12mm (1/2inch), 16mm (5/8inch), 19mm (3/4inch), 32mm (5/4inch) etc.

If you're actually interested in taking a look, here's a link to the dressed timber section of Australia's hardware capital - Bunnings.

I'd argue that's just because you're more familiar with Fahrenheit (making the assumption you grew up with it).

Celsius is just as 'good' as anything, better if you consider that measuring temperature extends beyond human comfort ranges.

The fish and chip co-op that used to be nearby was the best - trawlers parked out the back, super fresh produce, generous portions and reasonable prices.

That was a good almost 100 year run, yo-yo.

A lot of the new systems can use battery powered cameras that are motion activated - they can last for a month+ on battery because they only turn fully on when they detect motion.

You're right though - if it's mission critical don't rely on wireless.

Second cleaning it out - makes a world of difference. I usually shave a toothpick down a little sharper with scissors, then gently fish out gunk and dust.

You said it - money. They want you to have to buy new.
