RIP Defect 😭

This is insurance manifest!

I’m with you about not anthropomorphizing faceless companies as the bad actors here, but also I really doubt the CEO was the one who enacted this decision. It probably came from some middle manger who clicked “yes” on some report they didn’t actually read.

Factorio has seen tons of bugs in its development. It just so happens that the developers are some of the most effective bug squashers in the world of software development.

Yeah apparently I just got ripped tf off with the ssd I just bought.

Storage IS cheap these days, but 1c/GB is not true.

There’s a nice whiskey in my cabinet I haven’t had occasion to pop open for a while…

You can make a white noise generator from a single transistor. Couple that with a sample-and-hold circuit, you can generate random (within the limits of how truly random your white noise is) voltages. Add a comparator to decide if the random voltage is above or below Vmax/2, and if true, turn on the light.
