Oh phuck…

Uplifting?
What do they do with a billionaire’s money and assets when they croak?
Meanwhile, after they mastered the process of making LEDs, they were quoted to have a half life of around 400 years, meaning that after 400 years continuous use, they’d be expected to emit about half as much light as they did new.
Now what did they go and do? They ramped up the power and made them blindingly bright, yet only last like 5 years or so, if you’re lucky.
And the cycle of enshittification continues…
Ah, but that’s just it, lightbulbs were the beginning of enshittification. Once lightbulb manufacturers realized people weren’t coming back to buy more bulbs very often, they started deliberately making them to burn out a bit faster, to make them more of a consumable product.
Do note, there’s a difference between a conspiracy theory and an actual conspiracy. This actually happened yo, and we’re still suffering with this sort of deliberately short lived shit today…
Once upon a time, stuff was made to last…
At the time, for the iPad 2, yes. The touchscreen is not sealed to the LCD on the iPad 2, it’s only glued to the edges of the frame with double sided tape.
Neither part was broke, it was just that the frame was slightly bent by the volume buttons, jamming one of the buttons in. It was such a subtle bend that I really didn’t see any good reason to go through all the trouble of disassembly, as even that risks breaking the touchscreen.
I fixed a bent iPad 2 using a rubber mallet and a short piece of wood on a good flat wooden bench. Hey, I didn’t feel like busting out the heat gun and all that nonsense for the glued on touchscreen just for a bent metal frame, so I took a chance.
At worst, the touchscreen might have broke in the process, but that would have only set me back $7 and an extra 45 minutes. But it worked perfectly, flattened out correctly, didn’t break anything, and I got to go to lunch like 45 minutes early.
I don’t recommend this approach though.
No, it would be the same if I ate your ton of garlic and you ate my ton, by then neither of us would have a sense of smell either way.
So the universe remains in balance, as it always has.
Of course I wouldn’t expect any emulator to run faulty instructions by default, but it seems to me that it would be an interesting option for digital historians to study, if for no other reason than shits and giggles…
Sure, because screw artists with unique talent and style, let’s just have AI crank out the same style crap every day…
I’m rapidly getting tired of this new AI art era, looks like the same shit every day anymore.
Where’s the human factor anymore? Where’s the talent, where’s the skill?
We tried the Domino’s app once, because they had a ‘half off’ deal for a medium pizza if we used the app. Oh boy that was a load of shit, by the time we got there, they doubled the original price just because we used the app, then gave us half off the doubled price.
So it was basically a scam where they got our information, and we still ended up paying full price. SCREW THAT!
Do Saturday Night Live skits count?

Locally, indoors? Silence.
I like to be able to hear whatever is going on outside. Ideally, that would also be silence, but if something is going on outside, I like to be alert and aware of it.
I’ll also take a little rain and occasional thunder outside, as usually people aren’t acting a fool outside during rainy weather.
Damn you LMFAO!
I haven’t seen that movie in ages!
There’s no why, just figured I’d ask a silly question. Bored I am…
True.
But I mean less like a surrender, more like they call the law on themself and then handcuff themself…
Plot twist, it’s not AI that generated those fingers, that’s the hand he grabs women by the pussy with.
