They added a bunch of shit I don't care about, and made the damn thing slower than snail snot on Valium in winter to boot. It also seems to have started streaming the Roku channel when I think it's turned off. Several times I've turned it on only to see a movie streaming.

Bash, Makefiles, and Perl are things I got really good at 3-4 times in my career, only to forget how to use them until the next time I needed them several years later.

I've got a project I'm curious about. Are any of these scanners A) free; B) have a good S/N; and C) understand Kotlin?

It's not just oil, it's Jets (Boeing), Jet engines (GE), Intel, Dell, and I don't remember what else. Makes a mockery of any and all insider trading rules.

Anyone want to bet when it will be China limiting the number of chips that can be sold to the US? My bet is inside 10 years.
