I don't know about crucial, but a recent amber alert went out last week. It contained a bit.ly link to the CHP's Twitter page and I couldn't see the information. I clicked on it because the alert was from my town, but light on the details.

Surely a public post on a CHP website would have gotten the job done better.

It depends on how old the user is. If the player is over 18, Fortnite can link out. I guess you call some Apple API to link out and they check the user's age for you before deciding if its allowed or not?

Yeah, my family was hit by two ambulance bills in California in 2024, and tried to balance bill us contrary to the law. It was a really frustrating experience trying to get them follow the law. One of the ambulance companies waited an entire year to even file paperwork and still tried to get insurance and me to pay.

I was curious how a man in Switzerland gets charged in the US for a placing bets on a site that doesn't allow the US to participate.

Point taken. It was really annoying to try to read one of the slides of the carousel because it kept moving.

I think options are limited from the switch. You can't connect to arbitrary servers from the console version - just some curated public servers or by paying for Realms. You can hack around this with a DNS server that redirects the curated servers, but starts to get sketchy.

You also need the paid switch online for any sort of network play.

Brickfest is more of a traveling attraction. The local convention was Bricks by the Bay - they had the GBC in 2023, but the convention is on an indefinite hiatus. I wish it were easier to see where upcoming GBC's would be,

The patch system I worked with generated signatures of each build. The signature had the hash of each block of the build. The client has the signature for their version (1.0) and they download the signature of the new version (1.2) and diff the two. Then they download each block that has changed.

I think it was the `electron-updater` for my electron app, but I don't quite remember now.

I saw the Colorado excluded in job postings in the immediate aftermath.

I'm starting to see more and more companies listings a Colorado salary range in recent listings.

I'm not so sure that's true. They might have come to the Google Play store as part of their plan to sue Google. Their Google lawsuit has complaints about Google interfering with their third party deals with phone manufacturers.
