  I've always been a little annoyed by 'FYI' messages, which come off as "I know more than you, here's the proof". I will now respond with "IAI" - I Am Informed, which suitably relieves of any responsibility for the information while being just as dismissive. I feel much better about this. ;)

  If all you're going to do is shrink wrap it, and put it in a plastic case for display, why don't you just 3d print a replica, put a nice new sticker on it, and display that?

  Nice to see that all cell phone companies are out to scam you. Long ago Foxx and I left AT&T because there was no coverage at our new place. A couple months later we BOTH got "overage charges" on accounts that didn't exist. They were small - both were 25 cents. It took 90 minutes to get AT&T to cancel them. Imagine what a company that size earns just charging people 25 cent nonsense charges that people just pay cause it's easier? I switched to...

  Took a bit of poking, but I got it to work using MAME. This patch unlocks Dali Llama and Karate Croc at startup, removes the name and password screens, and unlocks all moves automatically. For the US version of Brutal Paws of Fury for the Sega CD. https://harmlesslion.com/temp/Brutal%20-%20Paws%20of%20Fury%20Patch%20(USA).zip https://youtu.be/NfG2_RE3-AA?si=z84UoQ51ZSLLC5-9

  Ah, nice, RomHacking.net took my patch. Now people can at least find it. Wasn't there something about that site closing a year or so ago? https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9621/

  Watching the original He-Man... it's one of the episodes that used to bug me as a kid. "Three on a Dare" - ignoring the side plots about kids and dares, the primary push for He-Man was to break into Snake Mountain and steal rainbow crystals from Skeletor. He chose to sneak in, and attempt to steal the crystals before Skeletor noticed. Bad guy or not, this is one of the stories where the bad guy was just minding his own business, and the good guys were actually the ones...

  Man, where were all these easy Linux root exploits when I was 16 and needed free internet? ;)

  We've had machine-learned OCR for a good 40 years. It didn't require massively parallel GPUs, huge datacenters, or even what we'd consider powerful machines to train, since they only needed a few hundred samples. A common educational sample I did maybe 20 years ago was training to OCR digits. Any desktop could converge the training pretty quickly from a human comprehendible data set size. I don't remember how many neurons it used.. under 100 IIRC. Not all machin...

  Did some updates to my web port of Phoenix Wright Turnabout Storm. Final investigation phases are complete - over three and a half hours of video converted to game. Still a fair bit to go! https://harmlesslion.com/phoenix/
