I'm not really superstitious about anything, except the computer, which must be restarted if it has been on too long, to cleanse it of bad or negative energies

No one asked for one, but I'm doing a review anyways:
Nintendo Switch Sports is a wonderful successor to Wii Sports. Yes, you lose boxing, but they provide you a better alternative with Chambara. And they improve upon tennis by making it badminton (while also still giving us tennis)

Technical restrictions are one thing, but i while i am absolutely in no way advocating anyone do anything illegal, i am saying that, from a cultural theory and philosophy standpoint, it is very definitely long past time for everyone to realize that "moral" and "legal" are not the same thing.
Petabytes of critical government research that is marked for possible deletion cannot be archived because of technical and legal restrictions, meaning it is very likely to be lost forever:

Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that 10,000 HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

Realizing you can use spaces in passwords is the same level of epiphany as realizing you're allowed to eat cake for breakfast as an adult

I desperately need all teams in all major tech companies to have a single sprint dedicated entirely to making printers a better technology.
I truly believe that if all companies did this, our printer issues would vanish. You'd never have to touch the WiFi settings on a printer again.
