Last night was bad (far east side of toronto... like Durham Region). It was over 180 and not only could I smell the smoke from inside the house, but my eyes were burning, too.

Having flashbacks to the fires from a couple of years ago. We were nowhere near (these were the Quebec fires IIRC) but outdoor AQI was bad for weeks, regularly topping 300 and peaking at 4-500. Had everything closed up, AC and multiple HEPA purifiers running, and it was still awful indoors.

I cannot confirm nor deny this, but the fact remains that Deloreans still exist today. And I do not recall ever hearing any stories about rust. Which, given its infamy, one would think would have been part of the lore by now if it was a thing.

I think there's something to the sitting idle angle. My launch joycons started getting drift 4-5 years ago. I did the usual clean out, then cut some plastic to put more pressure on the stick back plate and they were surprisingly fine. Two years ago I picked up an OLED, and my primary switch got very little handheld use after that.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I grabbed my launch switch to upgrade the firmware and run some tests. The sticks were basically unusable. I have a couple sets of Hall effect sticks laying around, I guess now is as good a time as any to put them to use.

I grew up constantly surrounded by the latter and knew when I smelled the former that the adults were about to act like idiots. I think I'd rather lose my sense of smell than have to endure either consistently.

The good news is that the mic is a piece of cake (relatively speaking, as someone who has tinkered with electronics before) to disconnect. Will it throw any errors/refuse to boot? Dunno, haven't seen that attempted yet.

Fascism 101.

This is the sort of thing that could be actionable, in criminal or civil court.

The rich:

Yeah, blaming this on Nintendo is just rage bait.

So, par for the course.

This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there's always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.

Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y'all have done so far.

I don't even know how many MP3s you can store with 400 qubits.

That's ridiculous. Nobody knows how long a gallon is.
