I just had a Y10K problem. Customer data was using 9999-12-31 23:59:59 as a placeholder value, and our app crashed converting from the customer's timezone to UTC. I learned that Python datetime can't handle Y10K.

I bought a ThinkPad X1. Had to send it back for repairs three times in the first year, including a complete motherboard replacement, and it died again immediately after the warranty expired. Been a $2800 door stop since then. The case is flimsy plastic that gets beat to crap easily. The trackpad is over-sensitive in all the wrong ways which makes it hard to use as an actual laptop. Plus it's weaker and slower than an Air. Also unbearably loud and unbearably hot.

I don't like Apple as a company and I don't particularly like MacOS, but no one except Apple makes a laptop worth a damn.

Thanks for that link. I now realize it's actually the Warcraft I voices I was pining for!

I love this idea, but I really wish it were Warcraft II voices.

I don't buy that anywhere near that many people read a book in 2025. People lie and say they read because they want to sound smarter and more cultured.
