I can't believe the shuttle chased down a satellite to fix it in five spacewalks. How many satellites have had service missions like this?

I do. But I did it on purpose, also switched my 'a's to look typewritten, I did it when I was handwriting my college essays.

FWIW I tried using the command line utility isightcapture on my 2019 macbook, and the LED turned on for 4-5 seconds and I got a dialog asking if I wanted to allow access to the camera. So this seems to be true.
I still have a camera cover though

I'm in this age group and have lots of debt. I'm also an entrepreneur that can't attend accelerators or forgo a salary for a couple years because of said debt. It feels like startups are for rich people.

I'm an amazon merch seller. Less risk but still crazy rules. I had a successful shirt, then copycats sold my shirt for less. I made a complaint to take down their shirt, and amazon took down my shirt instead. No matter how many times I email them they won't undo that.

Yeah parallels does this too. I feel mixed about it. Native Instruments and MOTU tend to make their software compatible for many years after you purchase them, which I appreciate. But it does take development time to make them compatible with new OS versions. Paying for a $40 upgrade every year seems excessive, but I'd prefer it to a monthly subscription model like Adobe and Microsoft have done.
