    Maybe I'm missing something, but how would that solve anything? Couldn't the offender just take a video and screenshot it later?

    > Anyone know what Nintendo's stance is on the companies making these kind of "brand inspired" retro products? Undoubtedly their legal team is at work 24/7 finding every angle at w…

    Agreed- I'm all for comments explaining a RegEx, but not hyperlinks in comments. The link inevitably goes dead and now you've left a helpful-looking present in a comment with dust …

    It'd be cool if there was a drop-in replacement for the standard cheapo clock module that allowed you to add this for existing clocks. Edit: It exists! https://www.walmart.com/ip/A…

    Oh boy, that app. I only use it once in a while, and it's slower and more enshittified every time. The last time I opened it, there was now a Verizon ad in the bottom left-hand cor…

    FWIW, there's a huge difference in job quality between diesel and a regular auto mechanic (at least if you're in the states): Unless you work somewhere rare and amazing, auto mecha…

    Lol, damn, I do not miss those days. I'm also reminded of those awful LowerMyBills.com flash ads. Sadly, they're still around, just using whatever tech is at hand to make the worst…
