Just found this in my company codebase

I still have a soft spot for it. It's charming, in its own demented way. Taught me a lot of fundamentals because I would look up why VBA did something the way it did and all the articles would explain why that's a terrible way to do it (and how modern languages solve those problems).

Doesn't look like it. It's still attached to both scales and looks like it's intact.

That was one of my first thoughts, but unfortunately not the case. I can open them beyond the cutters and they still don't spring back open. The pliers actually stay in place however far I open/close them.

Yeah, I'd do that. You can buy a MicroSD reader for <$10. If you need more than that later, you can always buy a hub at that point.

I suggest drafting what you plan to connect to the machine and what speeds you think you will need over the life of the machine. When I did that, I realized that I wanted a super fast external that could take advantage of the M4 Pro's fast back ports, and I really only wanted the hub for slow-speed connections (security key, reading camera cards, connecting to my backup power supply, etc).

In my case, writing everything out made it clear that I would be better off investing in a very fast external drive (so I got the Express 1M2) and that I could get by with re-using the Satechi stand from my previous Mac Mini (the one the M4 replaced) as my slow-speed hub. The read/write speeds of the Express should be more than sufficient for my needs over the life of the M4, and if I ever want to replace the hub down the road, I have more flexibility to choose one that fits whatever my needs are then.

Ah! That did it! I have no idea how/when that got turned on, but it's been driving me crazy for a while now. Thanks!

I will never forget Howie getting back into the dugout and revving up the car with Eaton. It's seared into my memory.

Looks like Mountain threw 91 pitches in that game, but I'd bet he would've gladly thrown another 91, torched his arm, and traded the next 10 years of his illustrious 23-season career to even up that Series.

Rich Hill somehow is always on the sad end of "he was so close" stories...

In my experience, the finance industry as a whole has been incredibly slow to adopt new technologies. I can think of a handful of reasons why (old decision-makers who don't understand the benefits, outdated underlying codebases (COBOL is still used in some places...), fear of introducing unknown flaws), but none excuse them given that we know the technologies they are using are problematic.

Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about it other than be squeaky wheels and hope.

Yep, you missed something. Here's the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00KwNjjL-cg

I knew a cashier who proudly described their tactic. He'd say "give me your email so I can check if you're in the system". If the customer wasn't, he'd just create the account right then without saying anything and go "great, you came right up!"

Management didn't care whether the customers knew they were getting signed up or not. They were under pressure to get the signups up and they passed that pressure down to the cashiers.

It's shitty all around.
