Wow, a broken clock that is still always right!

For Apple and other phone manufacturers battery replacements is a point where they can pressure people to upgrade. China has developed a new battery tech with about twice the capacity of standard lithium batteries. When that becomes standard in phones they want people ro be used to the idea of buying half the phone for the same price. Personally, I would prefer 2 day battery life on a full charge if there is a new technology that doubles battery capacity. At best Apple is likely to to keep that in the ‘Pro’ phones until there are $300 android phones with the technology.

The secret is you gotta get ‘em in the freezer before they go soggy.

Just you wait, 11 more of those and it will be a sternly worded letter. 16 of those and they’ll receive a demerit, then they’ll really be regretting their choices. You don’t even want to know what happens if they receive 7 demerits.

The Weimar Republic was the most educated place in the world before WWII. Education certainly can help but its not a panacea.

2 economist walking in the woods.

Economist 1 says to economists 2: I’ll give you $100 if you let me kick you in the balls.

Economist 2 says “sure”

Then economist 1 kicks economists 2 in the balls and gives him $100.

They continue walking and see a big pile of shit.

Economist 2 says to economist 1: I’ll give you $100 if you eat that pile of shit.

Economist 1 says “sure”, eats the pile of shit and economists 2 gives economists 1 his $100 back.

They continue walking, eventually economist 2 asks “What was the point of what we just did?”

Economist 1 responds “We just increased GDP by $200.”

I’m surprised no one ever tried to compile all the hacks into a single open source plugin or emulator. There are only around 400 retail games for the N64 which seems pretty manageable to have some sort of game detection ruleset for various hacks.

It seems like in recent years N64 emulation is finally improving somewhat with lower level emulation like the parallel64 core in retroarch.

Long term decompilation is the better solution regardless but it’s going to take a good amount of time to decompile all the games of significance for the N64.

I highly recommend you watch this video.

This is a good documentary on the “miniature garden” concept Mr. Miyamoto is referring to in the interview.

If you’re managing fleets of windows installs you should already be using some kind of autounattend.xml script for settings like Automated Winstall. More info in this video. You can also use older Windows 11 ISOs and update after setup if you’re uncomfortable with that.

Not defending the decision by Microsoft, just pointing out some workarounds that should continue to work.

As soon as the download notification is gone, the file doesn't exist anymore.

That seems to be how Android literally works though.

Both the default network mounting options in Gnome and KDE won’t let applications access the network drive. You have to mount using SMB4k or cifutils if you want application access. I’ve not used MacOS in over a decade but that functionality works seamlessly in windows for SMB shares. It’s honestly a minor reason (among others) I went back to windows.

This is a pretty decent overview of the ideas in that book for anyone who is interested.
