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

Most of the F keys had other meanings, so shift, as all shifted f keys were open

Every other application

Don't blame Microsoft for other applications not being localised

I don't think you want to be named Md. in America at the moment or in the last several years

Nah, it's enforcing law, and if needed, suppressing revolt

Because our system grew out of the past. In the past people had fewer rights, the rich could hire a professional defence.

As time passed rights for common people increased, we got the right to use a professional defence even if we couldn't afford it. But we, like everyone else would need to choose that and organise it

I'm sure that future fairness focused governments will rule that representation is automatic, but it hasn't happened yet

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

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

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

Glad to see my halfling druid isn't in the common list
