Ah yes:

Around 20 years ago, I disassembled various electronics and scanned them on a flatbed scanner. The scans were 300dpi. Gameboy Color and Gameboy Pocket were among the items I scanned. You can see the scans at https://waltersgameboy.tripod.com/

I don't remember why I didn't scan my DMGB. Either I had lost it, or it was too precious to me to risk breaking. As a kid, I bought it with my own money. I was probably 11 years old.

edit: I did find my DMGB eventually when I moved out of my family home.

Piggybacking on this, but what's everyone doing with their 3g phones? My family has like 5 of them that will supposedly no longer have service in '22. Can we donate these somewhere? The newer ones can still install android apps, send and receive email, etc. I thought about donating them to a shelter but I'm not sure if they'd have a use for them.
> Rewrite directives handled by low-level routing logic of the web server are definitely different to a container image that gets spun up in a distributed network and queried for each request, don't you think?

I’m pretty sure Lambda@Edge is not a container image like regular Lambda (why it only supports JS and not the broader set of Lambda runtimes) and is relatively local to the edge environments serving CloudFront anyway (why it is support in CloudFront the way regular Lambda isn't, and what the @Edge part refers to.)
Not just currency but pretty much all financial services. I have blockchain based assets and have used an Ethereum based service to borrow against them to help buy a house. Tokens are an almost unimaginably large and general concept and will be applied to many things (real work assets, stocks, loyalty programs, etc.) and provide much more flexibility for how they are used, distributed and exchanged.
DAOs are organizational structures that are built, generally, off of token based membership. This is also a huge landscape for social coordination.

A lot of this is just new, though. So explaining like this can only go so far and ultimately it must be experienced, like the original web in the 90s.

>In those early days where it was pretty much just irc and bbs's it was pretty hard to see any kind of value for most people.

I don't agree that it was hard to understand the value of services like electronic mail, forums or text chat. People may have been confused about how these services worked, or how they could personally use such services. But in a world where the best way to contact someone far away was an expensive telephone call, it was easy to spend two minutes talking to someone and have them understand the value of cheap, near-instant text-based communication.

It's really hard to explain the value of "web3" in a two minute conversation because almost everything it lets you do is either i) something most people don't actually want to do, or ii) something people can already do in a much easier and user-friendly way
I believe if regulated, it can foster innovation, but the way it is now encourages blatant exploitation of unaware consumers, as we clearly see these days.

Case in point: Windows. requires an expensive license, but still pushes ads down your throat on every occasion, collects too much telemetry, and keeps nagging you after every update until you accept having your data collected.

This is the way. Numbering should happen right before submission.
In addition to the answers you’ll receive about this specific shortage, it’s good to remember that chip shortages are common. Consumers aren’t usually this aware, but they happened commonly prior to Covid. So it’s worth asking, why did chip shortages happen historically, and how did the current situation affect those previous issues?

Apple does still support it. Apple’s own shows work on it.

> They had software working for it, and at its core YouTube is just displaying streaming video.

Who is they? It takes 2 to tango. What is Apple supposed to do if YouTube/CBS/MLB decide to stop sending MP4 video and the device they started designing 10+ years ago was only designed to play that (or not play what ended up being the winning format)?
The reason that so many people use the same websites (like Google’s, Facebook’s, etc) is mainly because of the convenience these sites offer and the reach they can provide. If this is a problem, it’s not a technical problem, but an economic one. The big companies have more design and programming capacity to offer online services than individuals and non-profit open source projects do right now.

Is a lack of viable open source alternatives to Big Tech an economic problem only?

Consider how quickly the Web itself disrupted the centralized networks of the day: AOL, MSN, CompuServe, Prodigy, …

Consider how quickly VOIP collapsed the cost of telecommunications what the government for 50 years — with its regulations and breaking up monopolies — did not. Today we all take that for granted.

Yes, tech that eliminates gatekeepers (switchboard operators, anyone? magazines, newspapers, radio…) brings costs toward zero and enables far more wealth creation than “privately owned” networks and infra. It creates far more of a free market, too, for those who like free markets.

Web3 is far better than Web2 for all this. Does Blockchain suck for web scale things? Yes. But there are many other distributed systems. To me, “blockchain” isn’t essential to Web3. What is essential is “smart contracts” — or more generally — code that for the first time you can trust to do what it says. And who can vet it? A free market of worldwide experts that you can collectively trust.

Just as Web 2 allowed anyone to deploy an HTTP website and anyome in the world could interact with it, similarly Web 3 allows doing that with growing numbers of real world applications like this: https://intercoin.org/applications

True, though POST requests claiming to send form data are among the most threatening requests (and still would be if they weren't immune to CORS). It's a weird hole from a security perspective, though as you note it makes perfect sense from a historical-development perspective.
I've got no objection to artists doing NFTs. I just want places I can engage with their work and not have a constant reminder that it's a commercial transaction. It's just off putting when every single tweet about generative art is accompanyed by a loud sales pitch. It's like turning a gallery into a street market.

I was interested to note that the Dropbox API offers a hack to avoid the extra CORS request - among other details, their server accepts this:

- Set the Content-Type to "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack" instead of "application/json" or "application/octet-stream". [0]

...which is allowed in a "Simple" request that doesn't require a separate round trip for OPTIONS.

Hard to make that argument when SA is one of (the?) wealthiest country in all of Africa, and they only have something like 35% vaccine uptake even though it's broadly available. Granted, SA has enormous wealth inequality issues for well known reasons, but blaming everything on the west for the situation there seems short sighted at best.

I say all of this as someome who will probably buy a steam deck -

"allowing the user to play all past Nintendo games, using the power of Linux"

At least for most folks in the United States, it's illegal to do so. Personally I'd like to see all of the old Nintendo games free to play, but that's not how it works under the current laws.

As a child of the 90s, I grew up in the heyday of wide scale music/software piracy. Unfortunately, now I'm at a place in my life professionally where I'm unable to participate in any of those activities.

The beauty of the switch (and many of the other recent nintendo hardware platforms) is that it allows a legal, low friction, relatively cheap marketplace and device to download and play many of their older games.

It's far from perfect (not all games, reoccurring costs to access, no actual ownership, etc.), but for me, and many other "normal" people who aren't going to to set up emulators and download ROMs, it's not half bad. That's a huge value prop for the switch that the steam deck won't be able to match.
You are attacking with actual ad-hominems ("crypto peddler" is an ad-homimem, pointing out that you're refusing my answer is not), discarding everything I write based on "You don't need blockchain to do that" and then, when I point out you do not want to hear answers because your entire point is "You don't need blockchain to do that" you claim I'm the one "attacking" you, distorting the conversation to fit your agenda. Read the conversation and see who is attacking who. You're providing no useful input, you just want to scream at "crypto peddlers".

This is the last reply you're getting from me.
This particular pattern is so dark that the FTC is cracking down on it[0]:

Under the enforcement policy statement issued today, businesses must follow three key requirements or be subject to law enforcement action, including potential civil penalties:

Disclose clearly and conspicuously all material terms of the product or service, including how much it costs, deadlines by which the consumer must act to stop further charges, the amount and frequency of such charges, how to cancel, and information about the product or service itself that is needed to stop consumers from being deceived about the characteristics of the product or service. The statement provides detail on what clear and conspicuous means, particularly noting that the information must be provided upfront when the consumer first sees the offer and generally as prominent as the deal offer itself.

Obtain the consumer’s express informed consent before charging them for a product or services. This includes obtaining the consumer’s acceptance of the negative option feature separately from other portions of the entire transaction, not including information that interferes with, detracts from, contradicts, or otherwise undermines the consumer’s ability to provide their express informed consent.

Provide easy and simple cancellation to the consumer. Marketers should provide cancellation mechanisms that are at least as easy to use as the method the consumer used to buy the product or service in the first place.

This doesn't resonate as accurate at all to me. VC certainly would have an strong interest in protecting their investment and helping it grow. Unless you've given up a significant amount of your company they don't have ownership control and you also have a board (which I would assume you haven't handed over control of).

Again depends on the structure of your deal(s).
It's getting harder and harder to manage without a smart phone. I was stuck overseas at the start of the Pandemic because I couldn't buy a plane ticket as I couldn't receive an SMS for OTP authorisation.

Jokes aside, pretty much no client side javascript allows this restriction. Its a tale as old as view source.

Yes, I think that makes a lot of sense. Maybe the issues I am referring to are more to do with the general frustrations of putting together a paper with multiple authors and less to do with specific software.
Love this way of thinking about mild addiction. This is the basic premise of a web extension I made.

It’s blocks addictive websites until you’ve finished your to-do list. But crucially, when you try and go on those websites it redirects you back to your to-do list.

It’s a little rough round the edges but it could be useful to anyone suffering with this problem.

> Do you mean can you add your own nodes? You can but you have to do it in the core code which is C++.

Ouch. I really hope that changes.

> An addon that existed before geo nodes and did similar things, animation nodes, does actually let you write free-form python in the node tree since it was written as an addon. It is very slow compared to geometry nodes though, especially when dealing with lots of objects.

I would like a situation where I can choose to trade speed for easy customization without switching to an entirely different system. I really hope they add scriptable geometry nodes. I just know for a fact that a node system without an escape hatch will be too limiting (and writing C++ is less than ideal and not viable at all if it requires a full recompilation of the app)
I don't think the units are correct here. My observation has been that even reputable news sources seem to go all wonky with energy units.

I believe the appropriate units for consideration would be GWh = gigawatt-hours.

This article, https://www.environmentalleader.com/2021/01/worlds-largest-u..., suggests that the largest battery storage system is 1,200 MWh or 1.2GWh of storage (at a cost of $400 million)

For comparison, all generation capacity in California is 272,576 gigawatt-hours https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/califo...

While I agree with the idea of the article, this sort of writing style always makes me feel like the author should be discussing this with a therapist instead of focusing and working on it.

Not that they aren't correct here, but the "let me put a list of wrong opinions I disagree with that people could hold and get mad about it" theme never felt mentally healthy to me. I catch myself doing this all the time however.
There is something devastatingly depressing when you realize that widely acclaimed people, who are obviously vastly smarter than you, by literal orders of magnitude, are still absolutely and fundamentally clueless, yet our fucked up society treat these people as something between a demigod and an oracle..

I'm not sure about the impact of VCs here.

For all their power, I think most people's biggest interactions on the web are with Facebook, Youtube, Amazon and Google. Do you have any good examples of VC-funded UX experiences that fairly prevalent?
I was profoundly burned out in early 2021. I almost rage quit about 50 times, life lost all joy, dark thoughts, the works.

Wife told me to quit which took a huge psychological weight off my chest. Didn’t end up quitting, but told my boss I was burned out and took two weeks off to rest. Enrolled in therapy and started taking an SSRI for the first time in my life. Project From Hell wrapped up and the work stress dissipated.

A year later and I am much better but still recovering.

I hope you can get your partner’s support to quit, even if you don’t go through with it.
