Don't worry... when we find it, we'll send it to you per post.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm glad I have two fallout machines. my lappy is still pre-update. Fallout 4 update broke F4SE at least temporarily. F4SE uses injection techniques to modify the in memory footprint of the fallout executable in order to extend it. You can then write mods for the game that take advantage of those extensions, and many authors do.
As a mod author, the update caused me some anxiety. I wasn't sure what all it would break. Fortunately my major mod (High Level Perks) survived the update, but my Brews mod will no longer work until F4SE is updated. Overall it could have been much worse.
For me though, the real pain is in playing. I can no longer uncap my framerates past 60 without breaking the game (120FPS runs twice as fast in game  ) That not only means I went from 240FPS to 60FPS in game (it matters) my loading screens are framerate capped as well and thus take 5 times as long as they used to cap at 350FPS.
Anyone else play? How do you feel about the update?

My seven years old Dell Inspiron 7577 gaming notebook is now showing it's age too, some keys around WASD are getting unresponsive and the power cable is broken where it connects to the laptop (a known problem with old Dell 130 W power bricks).
Ordered a new power brick and a new Dell Inspiron 16 with an AMD 5 Ryzen processor that was on offer for a ludicrous low price.
Not really a gaming notebook, but as I'm not playing any demanding 3D games lately that won't be much of a problem.
What I'm not certain about is whether the AMD version of the Dell Inspiron 16 notebook will support a QHD monitor via the USB-C port, in the specs it only says "Display port supported".

You can probably play fallout 4 on that little beast. It has enjoyed a significant resurgence in popularity due to the show.
It's a very immersive game, and was built such that the community could modify and extend the game, and they do. after almost 9 years the mod collection is vast.
I don't play anything else, as I'm not a gamer as such. Fallout 4 is different, especially since it scratches the development itch since I started making mods (the game is scriptable)

I'm a fan of Bethesda games too, mainly the Elder Scrolls series from Morrowind up to Skyrim.
Maybe when I'm retired I will try Fallout too

No issues up to now. (I don't really care about framerates)
I disabled most of the mods for the time being until they get checked/updated.

Google search terms wanted.
A few years ago, a developer of a trivial package in one of the major packet wells on internet decided to delete his package from the well (allegedly because he never received the credit he expected and deserved) - creating havoc in the development world: Thousands of programs had imported the package, and rebuilding the system crashed.
I know this story only through the grapevine, so details are fuzzy - but through a couple different channels, so I guess the story is well known. I'd like to dig up some more reliable, detailed information about this case, but I am not able to come up with search terms that brings up what I am looking for.
Do you know e.g. the name of the package in question? Or the name of the developer involved? Or any other good search terms that brings me closer to information about the incident?

That is the story! Thanks a lot.

1. Would be helpful when you give a hint what the package supported
2. Yeah, always have a copy of such a package when used in production software. Anything else is more than negligent.

That is some of the information I am searching 
The essential part of the story as I have heard is how a tiny little packet deleted can create havoc. For that issue, the contents of the package is not essential. I have vague memory, that is was some sort of bit fiddling, possibly searching for the highest 1-bit in a word. My memory may be wrong, and it is insignificant for the real problem of dependencies.
Edit:
My memory was wrong - so if I had presented it in the original post, it would have been misleading. The module creating most problems were 'left-pad', a rather trivial string function for right justifying a text.

I think it is also worth noting that NPM (the package registry in question) has since updated its terms of usage?
If you now publish a package you simply CAN'T unpublish it anymore if other packages are depending on that particular package.
The story was most known by frontend developers, since NPM is the platform they use most. 'broke the internet' is a very bold statement, but it did create some havoc indeed in its days.
Cheers - Peter.
