Was hoping for more about the game takedowns, but not much of anything was said:

LP: [...] how does The Pokémon Company handle Cease & Desist letters with regards to fan projects? How did you find them, and where did you draw the line on what's allowed and what the company thinks needs to be shut down?

DM: Short answer: [...] someone from the company would send me a link to a news article, or I would stumble across it myself. [...] I say this to my students: the worst thing on earth is when your "fan" project gets press, because now I know about you.

LP: Oh. Oh no.

DM: But that's not the end of the equation. You don't send a takedown right away. You wait to see if they get funded (for a Kickstarter or similar); if they get funded then that's when you engage. No one likes suing fans.

Neat fact to know. I always love learning new things.

The audit was not about finding the exact cause of the previous incidents:

The audit, which is kind of like a quality control inspection for large companies, analyzed 89 aspects of Boeing’s 737 Max production

The audit looks at current production to assess wether or not everything is being done to prevent further hazards (they failed over a third of the inspections). Determining what caused the past incidents would be assigned to the equivalent of crime scene investigators (FAA detectives?).

Determining production line compliance and investigating the cause of a major malfunction are two entirely different beasts.

I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don't have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

Feel like I just descended through the seven layers of hell...

Anyone here remember the old flash game Junkbot?

Gottem!

That was sarcasm lol. I'm sure they limit the app names to a-z 0-9 _-!?& And maybe a few others.

I just want that dino as a fren

Apparently, this is the code for a Hello World program in Malbolge:

"utilithing"

The app name is actually an X followed by four zero-width characters.

Who could have seen that coming? /s

An industrial grade robot is no joke. I hope whoever set up that robot got sued.

You either need a weak enough robot that it can't really harm you, or you need several measures to prevent exactly this from happening. Either make all the joints compliant or set up PSD's/invisible fences to prevent the robot from operating when hands are near the boards.

I second this. A 100 dollar bill just gets saved in my safe. However, if I'm given something like an Amazon gift card, I have zero reason to not spend it.

Granted, the things I would want are very particular and normally on the expensive side, so I would rather have people give me a bit of money to go towards said things.
