Take a look at the spray spout on the watering can in the top panel and the hand holding the tomato plant in the bottom panel.

Genuinely, switching to Linux full time was amazing for my mental health. I didn't have a feeling of dread every time there was a new update, wondering what settings would get reset or what new ways they'd try to fuck with me. I no longer felt like I was sharing a house with an abusive person who was going to try to hurt me the second I let my guard down. In the weeks and months that followed tension that I didn't even know was there melted away.

Of course that was years ago, and Windows is even worse now.

Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data” is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love. We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable)

So in other words we sell your data and get paid for it, and some countries won't let us lie about it.

Nowadays you instead have "gameplay trailers" that are movies made to look like gameplay, but in actuality are completely non-interactive.

Its like selling people units in an apartment building by showing them a video of a film set:

And saying "look at how far along we are in construction!"

That was a different technique, using simulated evolution in an FPGA.

An algorithm would create a series of random circuit designs, program the FPGA with them, then evaluate how well each one accomplished a task. It would then take the best design, create a series of random variations on it, and select the best one. Rinse and repeat until the circuit is really good at performing the task.

This is more psychotic than any of the dialogue in American Psycho.

Most diagrams don't include the mesentery, so people just think their intestines are sitting there like a pile of rope inside their torso.

It needs a port that you can attach your bag of caffeinated noodles to.

I don't think I would have brought a new person into the world during any of the other time periods you mention either.
