I am a software dev / "engineer" so I do not understand jokes, so I will now answer this question seriously.
I use trackballs and my balls stay clean so I can happily report that my balls have lasted for a very long time.

That's cool. I might've been in those discussions. I sure eat mice. But I bet I use them enough that UL could rent me as durability test equipment.

Recently, I may have replaced the need for licensing a bit of software with DIY/FOSS because it just didn't make sense to me the cost for what it does.
This guy builds a mouse because the manufacturers seem to suck.
AI is supposed to empower people to do things.
Maybe a silver lining is that quality:price improves because it must?
A competitor can chatgpt+yt how to manufacture mice and probably start to put you out of business almost literally overnight.

Yes, I've had the "error page error" page, complete with disturbing 3D-rendered Bob, several times so far this morning.
Looks like Chris picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue[^]!

On the plus side, it did reduce the amount of spam CP catches every day.

One of the servers went belly-up this morning. A quick talking to and it's all good again.

So I need VS2015. I have a project using it on a secure server, and I need to replicate the dev environment. I do my search, I login, I get to the "Your Downloads and Product Keys". It shows me this:
"Visual Studio Community 2015 Not available 6/27/2016"
If it's not available, why prick tease me? And this is the company assuring me that all of the updates they push out are for security. Right.... then I get an ad "inclusion is innovation." Well that's useful - not.
Wow, so, I despise edge. Trying to download opera - the file gets dumped to "operasetup.exe isn't commonly downloaded..." and edge renames it to something bogus. I have to rename it to a .exe to get it to install. What drivel.

Interesting - opera has no issue finding the download.

Seems they broke something.
The download PDF option does work either, downloads a 0 byte htm.

this does not look broken, it looks by design. Edge specifically indicates "not usually downloaded". It's just so trite.

I guess on the bright side you know to stop looking in official channels.
The one they got me with awhile back was having a version of .NET shown on a prominent page as required.
It did not exist.

Got a RC2014 system kit a while back but had problems getting it to work. The EPROM that came with the kit was programmed by the seller but for some reason, either; he sent the wrong chip or the chip he sent wasn't set up for the combination of boards I picked.
At any rate ordered some new UV EPROM's and programmed with the correct monitor program and voila have a system running CP/M 2.2.
So have been playing withe Z80 assembler, wow does that bring back memories.
The system uses a CF card as the disk system and somewhere along the line Turbo Pascal 3.0 appeared on it?
Haven't programmed in Pascal since early college days, circa 79. Surprisingly it's coming back pretty quick and am able to program some elementary stuff right off.
The hardest part is navigating in the editor, you get so used to using arrow keys to move around that I am constantly hitting the arrow keys instead of the control keys that do the actual navigation.
Anyway fun stuff and looking forward to future adventures.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Great stuff? Funny how technology we "struggled" with years ago provides amusement and relief today. I have a DOS virtual machine, anyone want to run edlin?

Don't take much to amuse an old fart like me.
Like I tell my SO, it keeps me off the streets and out of trouble.
