Bootloader Unlock: Wall of Shame
"Keeping track of companies that 'care about your data'"
"Over the past few years, a suspicious number of companies have started to "take care of your data", aka block/strictly limit your ability to unlock the bootloader on your own devices.

Googolplex Written Out
"In 1940, the mathematician Edward Kasner published the book 'Mathematics and the Imagination', in which he popularized the words googol and googolplex which his nephew suggested as names for big numbers.
The number googol has been defined as 1 followed by a hundred zeros...
'Googolplex Written Out' multivolume set of books, I am doing just that. It consists of 10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 volumes, and each volume contains 1 000 000 zeros of the number googolplex. The first volume also contains the initial digit one with which googolplex starts. "
