Murdoch was Australian, he chose to be American

What are the arguments

“Protect delicate children’s eyes from seeing nudity”

I think that’s about it

It took 5 hours to break enough to get the loot out. That’s pretty good. The secure stuff in my government office is only rated for 3hrs against power tools

The usual rule is 10%, jewellers can’t get insurance if they don’t spend at least 10% of the value on security. Though this safe resisted power tools for 5h. That’s not bad. If the alarm system had been battery backed up and connected over the cell phone network the thieves wouldn’t have been successful

Not just that. The tax preparation industry has gotten tax more complex and harder to file in the US

You get the government you can afford. The tax preparation industry has been able to buy several governments

I wonder if Nintendo will ever embrace repairability like some phone companies have

I guess there’s more competition in phones than in devices that can run Mario Cart

Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically

• you need to remove stickers in a way that you can replace them, if you want to keep them looking good
• You need to undo glue, iFixit used isopropyl alcohol and force
• Once you’re in its fairly easy to replace parts, but Nintendo don’t supply parts
• Batteries are glued down, you need to destroy the foam beneath them to get the batteries out, Nintendo don’t sell replacement foam, or even a specification for the foam

By being harder it will be more costly to repair

For most people: the more difficult, the more expensive to get fixed

Thanks to 3d printing I have litres of isopropyl. What sucks is you probably want to replace the glue since it’s there to protect against liquids, and Nintendo don’t care to provide a seal kit

You also need to remove stickers to get at the screws

Also you need a security screwdriver (three blade) for those screws

There are no replacement stickers, we wait for iFixit to provide guidance on adhesives

The guy doing the teardown recommended you wait until a third party company makes a drift proof module to replace the same as last version joystick decoders

I feel like I could succeed in an LLM selection process. I could sell my skills to a robot, could get an LLM to help.

It’s a long way ahead of keyword based automatic selectors

At least an LLM is predictable, human judges are so variable

Don’t expect to block stuff from Google while using Chrome. Google is [one of] the biggest advertising companies

Fast boot in BIOS is about skipping tests, it’s usually safe to leave alone

I believe you’re (if you’re American) now allowed to rip DVD but not anything newer. DMCA protection was removed from CSS

And beyond the law it depends also on enforcement

The US doesn’t give a right to break Bluray copy protection and make a personal backup or access it on a device that otherwise couldn’t play it. But the only enforcement is on people sharing copies, no one is prosecuted for format shifting their collection to play over their LAN

That word is empirically - by experiment or observation
