Schick didn’t go directly from his first patent to the Type A. In between he patented a second repeating razor, that has a fair bit in common with the first patent....
Found this interesting. I never saw the updated version, but I am guessing I probably wouldn’t have noticed the change. Just a random article I came across thinking you might enjoy. Or not. If I die, tell my wife hello.
It definitely wins the one line backstory contest.
Don’t get me wrong, both are great jokes.
I suppose I like the other because it’s the opposite. I don’t view it as random throw away, I think it implies that Bender has a lot of weird stuff going on… stuff that’s maybe better to not know about.
He is only one spine short of a Mouseketeers reunion after all ;-) 
It really is just about the annoying cookie dialogues. I support most of the work they are doing and I want it to go further. I wanted to see a tracking cookie ban that corporations couldn’t wiggle out from under.

Seems oddly difficult. The state bar can’t do it unilaterally which is weird, they pass it to the State Supreme Court… and he can still appeal that somehow.
I was actually thinking about OBD2 when I wrote that. The old CRT pedestal style code readers cost as much as a new car, fairly reasonable from an automakers perspective but expensive enough to put plenty of small shops out of business.
It was one of the first big top-down push that I remember. It’s a pretty good parallel for the current right to repair legislation. The automakers fought it tooth and nail back then too. They made similar claims about their new cars being so complex that they simply had to be serviced at the dealerships. And, to your point, they are still getting away with it to a degree.

No idea about OCLP unfortunately. But I got a battery for my mid 2015 macbook off Amazon. Changing it isn’t hard but you’ll need a funky 5 lobed screwdriver. The 2015 and I assume onward memory is soldered to the board, so you’re probably stuck, although an independent repair shop could probably swap boards or something. The keyboard is integrated into the top plate according to apple, it was over $200 for the part last time I checked on eBay.
And don’t even get me started on the SSD :-( They are kind of a pain in the dick… but so sexy inside.
One of my friends mentioned he was downloading pre-patched MacOSs from the internet archive, so that might be worth a look.
I could play almost any modern title with my PC and I’ve tried. I tried remakes of the games I used to like, I’ve tried modern takes on retro games… and I’ve come to accept that what I love are button-mashers :-)
I will play Metal Slug for hours. Any of the overhead shooters from Battle of Midway or almost any of the SciFi side scrolling shooters.
So my advice is try something different. Dig around in old coin-op titles, there are literally thousands and you can download all of them in one torrent.
