Hmm, I at least received a refund on the tablet; I think half of it was paid out and half of it I opted to use as payment for Sailfish X.
An email I have stored from July 4th 2017 mentions "the tablet refund tool", so there seems to have been a concrete system for this refunding process as well. I abstractly remember something like that, though I must say my memory is shoddy and should not be trusted.
This is the last response I have from them in my inbox (Sep 24, 2015, 8:56 AM). Never heard back from them after this inspite of repeated subsequent queries

Hi,
thank you for your message.
We are sending the invites out to contributors in groups according to the chronological order of contributions. Please also note that we are slowly ramping up the deliveries, starting with a smaller group to ensure that everything works as it should, but anticipate future groups to be bigger in size. This means that we are currently unable to estimate your exact order number in the queue.
To read all the latest on the Tablet campaign, please stay tuned to the Jolla Blog. For some commonly asked questions and answers, please see our Jolla Tablet Campaign FAQs.
Thank you again for your contribution!
Sincerely,
Jolla Customer Care

I low-key hate myself for this, but I went and preorder. I've been waiting for SFOS to come to my Xperia 10 IV but that seems to still be in beta, and after quite a few years it'd be hard to switch over ask well... But I have to try support Jolla as they've been my go-to phone OS maker for the last 10-15 years.
Are you asserting that the report is lying, and that a majority of the flight hours aren't actually being used for all those mentioned low priority purposes? If so, is your assertion based on the helicopters being used a few times a night per television reports?
Absolutely not trying to minimise your experience, but I found it really funny somehow how different (and still same) human life truly is depending on where you were born and how you have lived.
I've never had a 160 kg Bavarian nutsack in front of my face, but I've regularly gotten my face full of ass or nether regions because my university group has a small mobile sauna on a trailer, where anyone at the back moving past the others will necessarily shove their nethers in the others' faces. At some point I forgot to even think about it.
Human lives are so different, but nutsacks are basically still all the same. I hope you can one day forgive the Bavarian for their swinging sacks and overenthusiasm for the top seat.
Finnish sauna enthusiast here: going to same sex sauna naked is absolutely common (although you'll also find people who avoid it), but mixed sauna is less commonly done.
Amongst technical university students it used to be effectively universal that sauna was all mixed and naked. At some point it became common that some people, females especially, would wear swimsuits into sauna. It has also become common that before mixed sauna there is scheduled separated sauna turns for those who want to go but don't want to enter mixed. (Scheduled so no one has to raise their hand up and publicly say "I'd prefer to go without mixed bathing.")
In private life, a mixed naked sauna between eg. close friend families is something I consider pretty normal and do frequently enough without really blinking an eye. But that's because it's between two sauna-crazy families. It's all pretty dependent on the person or people.
I guess one possible avenue of thought is that when I opened the linked article, I had a few seconds to start reading before I got one full screen modal dialog, followed by another 1/5th height popup dialog on top of that to click away.
Not that most websites are any better. My favourites are basically the ones that just show a default "sorry but this content is blocked in your region" text.
I do like the idea of this, but after writing a longer response explaining my positive view on this I came to a different conclusion: I was thinking this'd be a possibly useful measure for programs running on CPUs with contention, where your data will occasionally drop out of cache because the CPU is doing something else. But in that sort of a situation, you'd expect the L1 memory speed to be overtaken _before_ L1 memory size is reached. This function instead fits fairly well to the actual L1 size (as given by ChatGPT anyway), meaning that it's best thought of as a measure of random access speed on an uncontested CPU.
That being said, I do still like the fundamental idea of figuring out a rough but usable O-estimate for random memory access speeds in a program. It never hurts to have more quick estimation tools in your toolbox.
I had set associative caching on a final exam in 1993. We’ve had it for a long long time because it substantially improves the behavior with worst case eviction pattern relative to naive caches. The sophistication has crept up over time. But if somehow that trick had been missed by all computer engineers, I firmly believe we would have been having this discussion 25-30 years ago.
