I wonder how long it will be until the Supreme Court overturns this one.

I share the DIY repair sentiment, but the other commenter was right. You saved them money by opting yourself out of their warranty, which is free to you, but costs them money. Now, if you had used the warranty and then repaired things yourself after it’s no longer free, that would be a nice FU to them.
The funny part is that rather than respecting this, they chose to cryptographically pair the parts, so they stop working if you replace them…
You don’t at all see how this could be abused in the exact same way as what you’re complaining about, do you?
For example, maybe Trump relaxes some restrictions on China, and the Chinese government just so happens to decide to host an expensive event at one of Trump’s businesses afterward. It’s not a bribe; it’s business as usual™
I subscribe to the theory that they do, but instead take inspiration from them.
But think of the profit improvements!
I think we all know that one of those two things will never happen in the land of the free and home of the mass-produced automobile.
Cardiovascular disease is a bitch, eh?
Thinks that water destroys magnets.
No no, you see: water is 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. Hydrogen is a key component of nukes, and nukes destroy magnets. Trump was telling us in code, because the baby-eating Dems are looking for an excuse to have him replaced with a body double so he can’t give obvious messages.

I hope the satire is obvious
A reminder: Google added support for and then subsequently dropped JPEGXL support in Chrome. Fuck Google.
But then we wouldn’t have enough budget to allocate to our campaign donations.

How has nobody mentioned Sonic Colors yet?

To offer a differing opinion, why is null helpful at all?
If you have data that may be empty, it’s better to explicitly represent that possibility with an Optional<T>
generic type. This makes the API more clear, and if implicit null isn’t allowed by the language, prevents someone from passing null where a value is expected.
Or if it’s uninitialized, the data can be stored as Partial<T>
, where all the fields are Optional<U>
. If the type system was nominal, it would ensure that the uninitialized or partially-initialized type can’t be accidentally used where T
is expected since Partial<T>
!= T
. When the object is finally ready, have a function to convert it from Partial<T>
into T
.
With powered hubs and balanced tree topology, you can split a single root controller into 45 endpoints. Your motherboard being able to support that many devices and the shared bandwidth might be a problem, but it’s theoretically possible to survive off of a single USB port.
You have to pass new laws to match the digital world.
They did—it’s called the DMCA, and it’s working exactly as they intended it to.
Ah, but you see, that’s where the national security and economic prosperity conditions come in. Can’t be having alternative teachings encouraging terrorism and communism, you know?
In turn compromise the health and futures of their kids and themselves.

If only the system wasn’t designed to squash third parties. Blue gives very little fucks either, it seems.
It puts more people in prison, making private prisons’ income better. This kind of shit is never about helping anyone but the lobbyists.
