  • Fallout source is gone too. There was just no reliable way to store source code back then, a lot of times it was just one of the developers that had it sitting in a desk drawer.

    If it's new enough, maybe a burnt CD.

  • Not all cd players had an accessible lens. A car deck had a slot insert and there was no way to get at the lens without disassembling the whole thing.

    Computer CD players also had a tray that extended so the lens was mostly hidden.

    Boomboxes and portable CD players had pop up lids where you could see the lens, but there were probably an equal number of players where you couldn't access it.

  • Super Mario Brothers is what brought video games into the household.

    This one game is why every game system was called "a Nintendo" for decades. Yes, other games came along and changed the landscape dramatically, but SMB1 created that foothold into the home.

  • If you intentionally turn on your sprinklers as a deterrent, and it does damage to a person or property, you'd be liable for that.

    What if someone had important papers that you ruined. Or you broke their non-waterproof phone? What if someone was stepping off the sidewalk to let a wheelchair pass and you just doused them and the person in the wheelchair?

    What if your automated sprinkler starts spraying the EMTs or Firefighters coming to help you cause you fell in your bathroom and can't get up? What if it shorts out the Lifepack they were going to use to check your heart and deliver an AED shock, and now someone died?

    Automated booby traps are always bad because you can't judge the intent of the person, or animal, that might trigger it.

  • Shift-A and Shift-I to append at the end or insert at the start.

    Once you know the system, it's much easier to do everything without having to take your hands off the keyboard to use a mouse.

  • I write code every day at my job. I use vim.

    It does everything I need it to do, and it works exactly the same way on every system I touch, and functions the same way since I started using it decades ago (aside from being able to use arrow keys now instead of hjkl)

    If I HAVE to do any coding on Windows, I use notepad++.

  • ... if they can design and print a case they probably already owned a 3d printer. The amount of plastic used to make the small case is likely just a few grams. Probably around $1 of plastic total.

    Yes, the article is pretty light on details since it's just a rehash of a couple of comments with no actual reporting, but don't blame the person for designing and printing a neat little case for their hobby. This is a perfectly acceptable way to repair and continue to use some broken electronics.

  • Bush 2 wouldn't have been reelected if it wasn't for 9/11.

    We wouldn't have had the patriot act.

    We wouldn't have spent trillions on the wars.

    There's absolutely no way we would have ended up where we are right now if it wasn't for 9/11.

  • He had racist and anti trans jokes in all his videos. I wrote them off as just innocent friendly jokes for a while, but they were in ALL his videos. I unsubbed and blocked him after I realized it was a pattern with him.
