I legitimately back up my history file. Mostly because it likes to truncate itself randomly (though this may have been fixed in zsh, or my config, because it's been a while). Just a systemd timer that triggers a shell script to copy it by date and rotate anything older than 100 copies.

Edit: WHY DID I SAY ANYTHING? After like 3 months of no problems, my history truncated itself to 3 entries a few minutes ago. I've only ever seen a few days of loss before that lol.

They probably want to pull a Chamberlain and sell a bunch of crappy buggy, inconsistent, error-prone addon services for $60/yr after you've already purchased the product.

But yeah, lesson mostly learned. Don't support companies who only offer cloud-dependent services because they will definitely turn on the customer when they reach the natural ceiling of people buying the product and start looking for extra ways to squeeze their customers.

Me too. It's important to remember that thumbs are critical for tool usage and having thumbs separate humans from most animals so being called a thumb is sort of a compliment.

IP assignment is extremely common, but there are almost always exceptions that you still own the IP if it's your own time, your own equipment, and not directly related to what you do for your employer.

It's kind of hilarious as a sport. There's so many Mario Kart inspired rules and, not even sure what to call them, but things like the boost when you drive over the special spot on the road.

P.O.D. in there is hilarious. Brings me back. Sadly I no longer qualify as the youth of the nation. But I do feel so alive.

Do I need to upgrade my bidet? Ours is one dial for cleaning mode which rotates/plugs the sprayer, and one dial for spray, which is just connected to the valve.

I mean I don't know much about what he was able to do in that role, but I imagine there are others who can step into his position and do a killer job. What he may care more about at the moment is ensuring that someone sane can continue making decisions about who goes into positions like the one he's leaving.

I'd take it if it was a reasonable price, like 1k, and if I could just swap it into new phones every time I upgraded.

The problem is, power requirements tend to increase as computation power increases. And no doubt battery tech will improve in those 50 years.

You can though, unless the water in the pool has no momentum. It would not be flat if the vehicle was accelerating enough to move that far in a 2-3 second dive.
