No, I think Valve prioritizing an open platform independent of Microsoft aligns with their business goals.

They’re doing it in a manner that has broad benefits, but it’s definitely a win-win situation.

Not quite. The Kuru Toga mechanism that rotates the led every time you pick up the pencil is present on the cheaper models and is also present here.

The big feature on this pencil is an adjustable automatic lead extrusion mechanism on top of the rotation mechanism.

Looking at the source I don't think that's true -- it's using GitHub specific APIs to read/write files. It's not standard git so any remote wouldn't work, and the mechanics are more akin to a key-value store than git really.

Not to say you couldn't add a generic git protocol to this, just that that's not being done here.

Speed running is so bizarre to me, the rules seem so arbitrary. I struggle to see how any form of hardware level modification that results in a meaningful deviation in the behavior of the game would be allowed. At that point what's the difference between smudging your disk and using a GameShark, etc?

Similar thoughts on things like shiny hunting in the Pokemon community.

MNT publishes everything: source code, schematics, complete BOMs, mechanical design files. You could produce one of their laptops, or any part of it, yourself through normal PCB suppliers like JLC and 3d print a case.

Reproducing what they have aside, you can also modify any aspect of it by remixing their designs. The most common example of this has been custom keyboard layouts (ergo, split, etc).

I read this as "never buy new electronics because someones old used one is less e-waste".

The motherboard is modular and the compute part of this is replaceable, it's sort of the whole point.

The modules are mostly compatible between all of their products: MNT Reform, MNT Pocket Reform that are available now and the future MNT Reform Next (a more streamlined laptop) and the MNT Station (mini desktop pc).

If it was just a simple matter of "what was available" these lenses would be an interesting footnote in Photography history. But that's not the case, people still buy them for their unique properties 50 years later and the fact a company exists to re-house them more than proves their legendary status in my mind.

Right, that matches my understanding. After 2029, It'll stick around as long as it continues to compile. If it fails to compile it would get dropped instead of updated as there's no maintainer.

The pokemon games are painful games to play, full of grinding, massive amounts of rng and just boring turn based combat (compared to other rpgs that exist).

As someone who was played every entry since the 90s I can't even imagine how you could come away as Pokemon games being "grindy", assuming you're talking about just playing through the story. EXP share has been a standard mechanic for the past few generations that have effectively eliminated any grinding.

I'm also not really sure where you're getting "massive amounts" of RNG from either. Sure, moves can miss but it's never consequential enough that it could ruin a run or something. At most you lose a few minutes having to run back somewhere.

Some devices are/were only vulnerable during the initial pairing but a key point from this talk was that most of these devices were vulnerable during normal use.

The RACE protocol could be accessed even if the device isn’t in pairing mode. Then once you have a target device’s key you can carry out the attack at anytime, when they’d be unlikely to notice.
