Self-programming computer systems.

So I happen to know this attorney for some years who handles complex US immigration issues. His office is in Cupertino.

There goes Hackintoshes after 5 years and backwards compatibility. Throw everything useful away (hardware with special kexts, niche expensive software) and start from scratch. No thanks.

20 years from now:

Introducing macOS 9000000.13.0 Pro Platinum.

Now with a more emphatic, less mercurial, less violent, and less passive-aggressive AI because each device contains 47% more genetically-engineered neurons. Each device is guaranteed to be personally-imprinted and infatuated with only you and do everything you need it to do.

At what point do version numbers become meaningless? Why not just rolling releases with a major number and a patch number? Or if the goal is to make it seem like fewer releases are happening, why not 4 components?

I had/have terrible anxiety and consumed massive quantities of caffeine anyhow in the past. These days, not so much. More CBD and decaf.

I think it's a legitimized/legalized stimulant in place of other stimulants to increase productivity at the expense of numerous subtle risks.

I've always wondered about caffeine, whether in coffee or other products: does its potential neuroprotective and vigilance-promoting effects outweigh its potential diuretic, hypertensive, tachycardic, arrhythmic, and anticholinergic effects in both slow and fast caffeine metabolizers?

I want the home game version, Chefbot 9 million. Serious. I don't feel like cooking all the time and end up eating unhealthily. As long as its bumper doesn't get stuck or battery runs out before cleaning up the kitchen and docking at the home charger.

There are a lot of complex physical jobs people perform that could be automated with enough enginerding and dedication.

A bathroom-cleaning robot/s that can do tile floors, sinks, mirrors, counters, showers, and tubs. Cleaning bathrooms is a really, really sucky chore.

Also, yard trimming/cleaning robots/drones more than just lawnmowers. Bonus points for cleaning-up after olive/plum trees and sculpting topiaries.

A sink/dishwasher robot combination that can clear plates, separate food waste and optionally compost, load a dishwasher, and "hand"-wash what cannot be dishwashed. Bonus points for clearing the table and putting away clean dishes automatically.

A good, automatic gutter cleaner robot and/or an inexpensive, modular, micromesh stainless steel gutter guard that doesn't suck.

A quality full-tower/super-tower case (similar to what CaseLabs produced) that actually holds an EATX or Supermicro server board comfortably, can support water cooling with an optional distro plate, can hold 11 3.5" drives, 4 2.5" drives, 2 5.25" bays, 6 200mm fans, 2 double-wide relocated GPUs, and options for RGB, temp monitoring, and fan controls that work under Linux, FreeBSD, hackintosh, and Windows. Options for color and tempered glass windows.

Harbor Freight-alike that has better quality, is online-only, no coupons/gimmicks, and ships must faster. Between HF and a McMasters. (HF ecomm, customer service, and shipping are a clusterf.)

Smart home integration amongst different brands and complementary products, preferably with open standards or a "Dolby NR"-meets-AWS for smart home APIs. For example, I bought an Awair IAQM only to discover they were dropping all of their integrations, including with their parent company's thermostat, Emerson Sensi. My Filtrete Smart air filters should work with Nest and Emerson. An IAQM should be able to turn on the central air fan if the indoor particle levels are high or if a smart smoke detector detects experiences a false alarm.

Also, turnkey smart home integration modules for Arduino, RPi, ESP32, and general electronics.

I use nylon insert nuts, threadlocker (of the proper type), and sometimes inner or outer bite toothed lock washers because spring lock washers have always been useless in my experience. If you really need locking-power, use a castellated nut and cotter pin, or lock wiring (safety wire).

The important bit is either preventing the holding fastener from turning either directly to prevent rotation or stretching the bolt such that friction under all vibration modes prevents jumping and loosening of the holding fastener.

Cool. Btw, check out the wave organ.

Sigh. Loser bozos can't accept the reality of a product, so they blame the seller because reality and their delusions don't coincide and they can't do anything about the manufacturer. They're barking up the wrong tree and looking for a scapegoat. Expectations and sour grapes human behavior fail.

Check that the cash is real with one of those pens. Don't accept anything else.

Don't state concrete specifications as your personal attestation.

Always quote the manufacture or include weasel words.
