My money is on 1999 as the year of the Linux desktop. I mean, that's when I switched to Linux full time π€·

Big Cable is the one generating all the noise to begin with!
In times like this we must remember what the Bible says about things like marriage: One man, one hundred women.
Also, selling daughters, because they're property! Like slavery, which is also totally fine.
Hahaha, your description about summoning USB magic smoke demons gave me an idea...
Is that even necessary? Anyone with a CAD tool can recreate the 3D printed parts from a glance and a few specs.
It's literally a tube. Whichβto be fairβis a "weapon of mass destruction" according to President Bush (the other war criminal president).
You don't need explosives. It has a spot in the front for a camera. One of the new microcontrollers with AI accelerators can do face recognition extremely quickly. It would be possible to use it as an assassination tool.
Even if you changed nothing about the design, the speed and mass of the thing hitting a person in the face could kill.
Don't give them any ideas! We don't need Dumb Restrictions on Motors.
The "ceiling" is the fact that no matter how fast AI can write code, it still needs to be reviewed by humans. Even if it passes the tests.
As much as everyone thinks they can take the human review step out of the process with testing, AI still fucks up enough that it's a bad idea. We'll be in this state until actually intelligent AI comes along. Some evolution of machine learning beyond LLMs.
This just means (usually) that your system synchronizes with something that doesn't support special characters (e.g. mainframes).
Remember kids: Mainframes suck. They're awful legacy garbage that holds back adoption of superior, actually secure technologies. Soooo many things that make you go, "WTF?" in IT can be traced back to having to support legacy systems (like mainframes).
Why would I want my hat to grow hair?
The fact that we all send 2-3% of nearly every monetary transaction to a completely unnecessary 3rd party that set these fees when real people did the processing instead of computers.
Visa, MasterCard, and American Express do not need to exist. There's no excuse for fees on financial transactions. They should be free because there's absolutely zero cost to raise one account by $ and subtract that same amount from a different account. It's the cost of a few computers doing basic arithmetic.
It's insane that we allow this.
To be fair, lots of people were crucified at the time. Many with the same name as Jesus and many for the same crimes!
In this case, though... It was merely the pubic execution of a leprechaun.
