Some would argue it's right up there with HN ;)

Most set-defaults take effect the next time something is launched, and basically all of the things that affect the dock are only read at launch time.

The smoking gun was almost always a mixture of quality, subtle details, and the tracking dots in some form or fashion. The writeup of the process is extremely detailed and shows just how these dots can be weaponized or utilized in the right/wrong circumstances. https://www.elitefourum.com/t/report-of-observations-regardi...

In some tech-adjacent sectors, the way you apply is through a thin wrapper around the linkedin API. Sure you can try manually entering the data but the API provides them Just Enough pre-sorted and classified data that it gets sold as "convenience"

The fact that it's answering "I don't know" to what you so correctly identified as campaign promises is actually it doing (more or less) its job.

You're right, it is a bunch of LCDs on a bus (iirc rs485).

One that I have seen is HMAC(serial||SKU) as a datamatrix/QR, laser-etched onto the top silkscreen and burned into a PROM.

I would have enjoyed the game immensely with such an adaptive feature. Just like I appreciate the amount of work that Valve has put into closed captioning for their games.

There's some words about "oh yeah you can upgrade this" but not many details. The only thing I've seen so far has been a single shot from the Pentagram splash where it looks like a fairly standard off-the-shelf mini PC that's been gutted and put on life support like a Raspberry Pi Cyberdeck.

Later on there was a generation of two-conductor cables that used SPDIF/PCM Audio instead of analog audio for better fidelity.

The changes they made often resulted in this kind of weird nonsense: Swapping the word "Failure" for "Disappointment" in a vain attempt to keep it from saying "you're a failure", but also just stripping out words such as slurs and insults, resulting in at one point the hilarious situation in which Gemini for quite a while would INSIST that the lyrics for the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing" contained "That little has his own jet airplane/that little is a millionaire" -- which in certain contexts changes the meaning of the song incredibly.

These hack-and-slash text manglings have resulted in some of these clbuttic sort of writing styles being used during LLM-assisted writing. A more famous version of this was caused by one paper: https://world.edu/a-weird-phrase-is-plaguing-scientific-pape...
