Isn't that usually more expensive than buying it unlocked?

Oh so you don't get a brand new PS5 from the store? You have to grab a screw driver and manually take everything out of your PS4 except for the power supply, then put all of the new PS5 components into the old PS4 case??

I'm a PC gamer, I even have a full custom loop that takes a bit of work to maintain. But it's simply fact for the last several years that consoles are a better value for straight gaming. PC catches up in value if you're reusing old parts, using it to multitask with productivity/WFH, and take advantage of video game discounts/sales, opposed to ps+/Xbox live which has a monthly fee. But the immediate cost is simply higher than console

Budgeting 0 dollars for you power supply is a good way to burn your house down

Consoles ship with a case, your PC doesn't

Is Windows still free?

Assuming they are going to use the kb/m and monitor they already have

Beta minus decay is the only mode of radioactive decay that increases atomic number.

These heavy radionuclides become more and more likely to decay by alpha decay or by spontaneous fission as their atomic numbers increase and less likely to decay by beta minus.

The half lives of these radionuclides also decrease as they get heavier, meaning they don't "survive" long enough to reliably capture neutrons before they decay into something else

By the time you get to Fm, there are no accessible beta minus decaying isotopes of Fm that can be created through neutron capture before the nuclide decays by some other mode.

This logic applies to nuclear reactors. Nuclear weapons have... a much higher neutron flux. This means the Fm isotopes could potentially capture a very large number of neutrons in a very short period of time in order to create an exotic beta minus decaying isotope of Fm before it decays by some other decay mode. Not sure if this was ever observed during the various nuclear weapons testing phases across the world

There are multiple types of radioactive decay, some make the atomic number go up, some make the atomic number go down, but it's correct to refer to them all as radioactive decay.

This is a great question, and yes. 239U has a half life of less than 30 minutes and will radioactively decay into 239Np. This happens because there are too many neutrons in the 239U nucleus, so one of the excess neutrons will "decay" into a proton & an electron (a form of radioactive decay called beta minus decay). When that happens, the nucleus goes from 92 protons to 93 protons, which makes it Np instead of U. The 239Np will then decay into 239Pu using the exact same method with a half life of a couple minutes.

That's how we create 239Pu for nuclear weapons.

The 239Pu has a half life of 24,000 years, so only a small amount of it will radioactively decay during irradiation. Some of it will fission in the reactor, but the rest of it has a chance to "capture" more neutrons to form heavier isotopes of Pu, like 240Pu, 241Pu, & 242Pu. If this is allowed to go on long enough, then the Pu is no longer suitable for a nuclear weapon. This is why commercial power reactors don't produce weapons grade Pu - the fuel sits in the reactor too long and produces these heavy isotopes of Pu

241Pu can decay into 241Am, which can capture neutrons and decay into heavier elements, which can then capture neutrons and decay into heavier elements again, etc etc. This process can repeat all the way up to the element Fm inside a nuclear reactor.
