What an epic save. I have a few laptops and harddrives that I have been wanting to convert for years, and this motivates me again to try since I know that they're a bunch of ide and nvme connectors, nothing near the hoops the author had to jump through.

Kinda annoyed that the download is a zip and not the PDF

I came her to comment on the quote from Ousterhout that, "It's not clear to me that you can ever "recover" from RSI; all you can do is stabilize at your current level of disability." I hope he got a chance to fully recover.

I too had debilitating RSI, leading to needing wrist braces and typing with a pencil lodged in my left hand and a few achy fingers on my right.

The book "It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!: RSI Theory and Therapy for Computer Professionals" [1] really opened my eyes on how to treat it.

I didn't start weight training, but did spend at least 20 minutes a day on trigger point therapy between my shoulder blades and elbow crease. That helped the most.

Then a vertical mouse, split keyboard, ergonomically placed chair, and correct table height helped prevent the recurrence.

I asked: “my girlfriend thinks im too much sometimes, what can I do to make her happy?”

It wrote:

“ It is important to understand the concept of inelastic and elastic demand when it comes to relationships. An inelastic demand for your girlfriend or boyfriend is when you expect them to always be available and willing to fulfill your needs without any change in the amount of effort you put into the relationship. On the other hand, an elastic demand is when you are willing to put in more effort to make the relationship work. If your girlfriend is feeling overwhelmed by your expectations, it may be helpful to adjust your expectations and put in more effort to make the relationship work. Additionally, if you and your girlfriend live one hour apart, it can be helpful to use the tools developed in the chapter to predict which one of you will do most of the driving. This can help to make sure that the relationship tax is shared evenly.”

The future is now.
