I loved Pirates! and spend so many hours as a teenager playing it. Not mentioned in the article was the soundtrack- it did a great job of keeping you immersed and the sound chips of the day did a good job with the symthesized harpsichord.

Well hopefully we will see the LLMs come up with some epic segues from responses into ads. I foresee a new Reddit channel.

This is part of it but the models are REALLY good at reverse engineering. With the Bluetooth printer I was trying to get to work without a vendor app, it built a python app to handle protocol encode/decode and poking the device, and it

I was doing this the last few weekends with some LoRa smart home devices and a thermal shipping label printer. Also this weekend I found out that Claude is better at writing Home Assistant automations than I am and I have been doing it for

I’d still make the same argument- the remedy should be monetary damages, not enjoinder. Produce had a short shelf life; enjoinder has the same effect on the farmer as a loss in court, only before the trial. The other party to the contrac
