It's too hot inside.
Hope they will be done with the calibration work soon.
It's nice with the leaves everywhere.
I hope they're allowed to remain.
Haven't heard any leaf blowers yet, thank Sif.
Inside is better when it's cold.
Writing code that generates code is much more fun than just writing code.

Employers must provide "terminal eyeglasses" to employees that need glasses and spend more than an our looking at screens. Wish I had known that before I paid many kronor for a pair of glasses.

"Currently, private copy royalties are generated in the US by the sale of 'blank CDs and personal audio devices, media centers, satellite radio devices, and car audio systems that have recording capabilities.'"
Seems like USian friends and others (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy#Regulations) are already paying for friend-to-friend copying anyway, just like here.
It wasn't called piracy back then, that I can recall anyway, just copying and sharing.
Also you don't have to go on the internet and find torrents to pirate if it feels unsafe.
You can ask a friend to put the movie on a USB stick for you.
Like people did with cassette tapes, video tapes, CDs, and other things, before capitalists started innovating it away.
Some of it still remains. :)
Even if you have an approved OS and approved browser with approved DRM malware binary blob, there's still problems that prevent playback, degrade quality, etc. Then there's geographical restrictions, shows that you were watching that get pulled (even when we had Netflix I had to hop around with VPN sometimes,) and many other innovations that together make it a worse option than
· Click magnet link.
· Wait for a while.
· Enjoy in your media player of choice.

Normal Netflix: Works in few browsers, on few operating systems, and even few libc, forces you to run Google or Apple DRM malware (yes, on Firefox too,) etc.
Pirated Netflix: Just Works on anything that can play video.
Sometimes the cheapest option is also the best.

The #GameBoy family was produced for nearly 20 years, the DS family for around 13 years. So we can expect the #Switch family will produced till at least 2030.
Many #Analysts are critical against Nintendo because they fear that #Nintendo will fail producing a better system like they did with the Wii U but I think thats too harsh because the Switch was a commerical success and will propably last longer than many ppl think.
Excellent, someone wants to buy my one fancy cloudspeaker so I can buy a stereo pair of loudspeakers.
