Reminds me of this post, I wanted to do something like this when I have a kid, but it turns out not all children are the same, who would have thought, and mine isn’t interested in how things work.

I got mine a comic book which introduces making simple games in mit scratch. The kid loved the comic, read it multiple times. We sat together and entered the game, had a lot of fun changing the characters, and never did that again (I’m not pushing). The computer is still a boring thing dad does for work.
It doesn’t help that I can’t explain what I’m doing on my computer on the few times the kid bothers to ask. I’m writing a program that transforms this wall of text into that spreadsheet 🥱
On interesting math
Fucked up stuff, thank you for elaborating on this
I hope I’ll never have to live in a place like this, sounds terrifying. I moved out of a city because paying with card and having phone apps has been increasingly forced on citizens, but this is another league.
Let people enjoy things
There’s a program named binwalk that can extract resources from all kinds of files. Run it on the exe and see if you find your logo there. If so, note the file name and find it in binwalk’s output, post here or try figuring out yourself what to do
Donald Duck was such a good game, I recently dusted off my C64 and my kid played it without any encouragement from me at all.
Pretty fucked up that another school within your own country won’t let you go there. Leaving children with family while working abroad happened here too, but it was always another country, language barrier etc.

Do you mean an MCU or a game pad or a MIDI controller?
“Normally”!? I thought it was a one-time thing for that famous youtube video.
On the 5th day of a week!
A few minutes can make a difference in wet vs dry pants, especially when there’s 15 beers inside you.
Yes. Interestingly, they don’t block tor, so you can use tor browser and not need to disconnect from your vpn.
Yeah, sure, 5 years after google flagged one of the sites i hosted, some firewalls (including isp-level blocks) mark the domain as unsafe. Google removed the block after more than a week but the stink continues until today.
It was also a development domain and we were forced to change it.
ergonomic and custom models can range from $200 to more than $1,000. That’s more than my entire bike lol
Websites that download links for you - online download managers.
You paste a link or drop a torrent and they return you a link from their CDN to downloaded content. The links these services can handle include magnets, cryptolockers (like rapidshare) and sometimes youtube etc.
Sounds silly except for one caveat - massive cache - if someone has downloaded the link before you, they respond instantly because they already have the files.
The name comes from real-debrid, which is the OG debrid service, but recently started working with law enforcement. If you want to find which ones are currently the best, Kodi addon based pirate communities use and discuss them a lot, I only know /r/addons4kodi from reddit.
