Glad to see some love for Wolf3d. It was an important step in the development of the FPS genre, but has always been overshadowed by Doom. As someone who could not play Doom on my 386, Wolfenstein I have many fond memories of this classic. I'm sure I'm not alone!

> without any compression

Perhaps not compression as we see it today. But one could argue that tile based graphics and code based music is a form of compression. Old games used a myriad of cool tricks to get around their limitations.

In the long run, perhaps this will give us a better power grid, just like the dotcom bubble gave rise to broadband?

> it seems intentionally badly trained

This implies that available training code is good. Consider for example how many GitHub repos are students just trying to learn to code.

> Animated yellow indicators [are] very distracting

Completely agree. If I buy a new car, I will ask if it is possible to turn these off out of respect for other drivers!

They asked questions grown ups would know but likely not kids. I remember one questions about The Beatles for example.

> [...] in their automatic content recognition systems [...] Samsung TVs can take screenshots every 500 milliseconds and LG TVs every 10 milliseconds

I wonder how much energy it take to analyze 4k images 10 times a second?

If this goes through, either all companies would have to rewrite their eulas, or no-one would dare to use an online service. Either which is actually quite good.

Most if the tools seem to be just a gui around some windows api call. Which is exactly what you sometimes want. Especially when diagnosing problems. Clear, no nonsense. Nirsoft has helped me so much. Thank you!

Women are more emotional. They tend to vote on what "feels" best. And nuclear power can certainly feel dangerous.

Really nice color palettes. Some reminds me if MUI on the Amiga.

Not sure if this is serious or intended as a joke. It made me giggle nonetheless. Which is kind of sad.

You could read back the url after each write to check the validity. If not valid, assume the limit has been reached and inform the user.

> it forces your eyes to quickly and repeatedly adapt to short vision

Sounds like a big nono for "older" people. I'm having difficulty focusing on the dashboard nowadays. Progressive glasses could fix it, but the short distance area is at the bottom, so you would have to tilt your head alot to see the mirror.
