This includes the Linux greybeards too.

I never switched to Windows, but switched directly from AmigaOS to Linux, in 1994.

Well, most people in the world are not really quite that interested in what's happening in the US, it'd be quite easy to miss something that doesn't really have any repercussions abroad, like the opioid crisis.

I'd recommend starting out by reading a very biased but well researched and factually correct book, which will give you invaluable information about how it all became the way it is today, which will make it possible for you to discern who lies about what and why today:

Someone said inns and taverns,

They're just called pubs nowadays and many of them are still in business, with drink, food and music downstairs, and rooms for sleeping upstairs.

The one in my neighbourhood is newly reopened and serves fancy craft beer these days, but the basics are actually pretty much unchanged since a tavern first opened in that house sometime in the 1640s.

Yup, the lab could tell a difference!

Awesome!

The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small.

Your particular choice of wording here makes me very curious: Do you mean that there really was a measurable difference (which was trivially small)?

Would it be possible to work around this by using virtual desktops? 🤔

If that's the case you should update Wiktionary which currently claims that they're synonyms: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/resume#Noun
