I think before that even

Remember the phrase “it’s not in-pattern”. Another one is “it’s possible, but expensive”

My bg3 character is female. She was in slacks until act 3 where she could finally have a dress

We looted everything. I feel like there are two dresses in the game: the robe Gale wears and a white dress you find in a Balders Gate house near the end of the game

Not just that. The tax preparation industry has gotten tax more complex and harder to file in the US

You get the government you can afford. The tax preparation industry has been able to buy several governments

I wonder if Nintendo will ever embrace repairability like some phone companies have

I guess there’s more competition in phones than in devices that can run Mario Cart

Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically

• you need to remove stickers in a way that you can replace them, if you want to keep them looking good
• You need to undo glue, iFixit used isopropyl alcohol and force
• Once you’re in its fairly easy to replace parts, but Nintendo don’t supply parts
• Batteries are glued down, you need to destroy the foam beneath them to get the batteries out, Nintendo don’t sell replacement foam, or even a specification for the foam

By being harder it will be more costly to repair

For most people: the more difficult, the more expensive to get fixed

Thanks to 3d printing I have litres of isopropyl. What sucks is you probably want to replace the glue since it’s there to protect against liquids, and Nintendo don’t care to provide a seal kit

You also need to remove stickers to get at the screws

Also you need a security screwdriver (three blade) for those screws

There are no replacement stickers, we wait for iFixit to provide guidance on adhesives

The guy doing the teardown recommended you wait until a third party company makes a drift proof module to replace the same as last version joystick decoders

I feel like I could succeed in an LLM selection process. I could sell my skills to a robot, could get an LLM to help.

It’s a long way ahead of keyword based automatic selectors

At least an LLM is predictable, human judges are so variable

Don’t expect to block stuff from Google while using Chrome. Google is [one of] the biggest advertising companies

I believe you’re (of you’re American) now allowed to rip DVD but not anything newer. DMCA protection was removed from CSS

And beyond the law it depends also on enforcement

The US doesn’t give a right to break Bluray copy protection and make a personal backup or access it on a device that otherwise couldn’t play it. But the only enforcement is on people sharing copies, no one is prosecuted for format shifting their collection to play over their LAN

I’m worried that when the bean counters see the price difference between AWS and self hosted stuff they’ll find AWS more expensive and we will have to deliver a year’s work for 10 scaled agile teams again, but in our machines

It’s nice that they brought Minecraft to practically every device. It sucks that they didn’t replicate redstone

Perl.org now has a stylised camel emblem

CPAN.org doesn’t use a camel

You clearly were not a perl programmer 20 years ago

Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O’Reilly book
