This has been common in Sweden for decades, I had it in my previous house almost 20 years ago. If I remember correctly it was a 100m borehole. The only limitation is that certain soil/rock environments work better than others, so it's not suitable for all locations.
Heated our house in northen Sweden just fine in -20/30C winters.
It's a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.
I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:
- any and all soft skills
- version control
- refactoring
- testing and the value of testing
- staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc
My experience with my yubikey is that it just works. I know that's not terribly useful info, but it's really all I have after several years of occasionally using it. Oh, it's been on my keychain all that time so isn't terribly flimsy.

My opinion is based on an older gentleman commiserating on how difficult it was for young impoverished students to pay for everything nowadays. I was in debt, and had at just that moment come out at the LGB soc. That person was my bank manager.
Subs that pay doms don't bother me at all.
I just got an M2 MBP. In my personal experience it is very much not "shit".
Expensive and a PITA to fix? Quite possibly.
I recently saw this: What are some great YouTube channels worth checking out? which indirectly answers your question I guess for the people that posted suggestions.
Mine were:
- https://www.youtube.com/@TheTimTraveller - Utterly charming and funny travel videos
- https://www.youtube.com/@AtomicShrimp - Incredibly wholesome nerdyness in a multitude of forms
- https://www.youtube.com/@anderspuck - Insightful and considered observations about the war in Ukraine
- https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker - Unashamedly non-PC reviews and observations on film and TV
Windows 95 was dreadful.
Yes I am old and my knees do hurt, thank you.
Perhaps worth pointing out that the attacks require the attacker to position a piece of hardware between the Qi charger and the power source.
