- When backwards compatibility is Job One. (Medium)
Steve Yegge is not happy with Google. Google is notorious for shutting down user-facing services, but they take the same approach to business-facing services with Google Cloud.
He notes that Java is still supporting features that were deprecated 22 years ago, while a feature deprecation notice from Google Cloud is like a death flag for an otome game villainess: The only hope is to make better choices in your next life.
- A California court has found that Amazon is liable for damage caused by defective products sold by third-parties through their marketplace. (California Globe)
While my first instinct is to assume the California court got it completely wrong, I'm not sure that is the case. And if it will get rid of the flood of fake SD cards I will applaud.
Though I doubt anything can get rid of the fake SD cards.

The fake SD cards are bad, but in this case it was one of those laptop batteries they sell that have had the chip reflashed, and then explode when you try to charge them later. The one I bought many years ago only went "hiss" and made the room smell horrible for a while, but yeah, don't buy laptop batteries from Amazon, ever.

And I guess what I'm trying to get at is that Amazon knows good and well there are categories that are full of fake, defective, and downright dangerous products, and yet they act like they can't be bothered. Maybe they'll have some motivation to clean up their marketplace.

I clicked that video and it took about 2.4 seconds to ask myself "is that Zefrank"? And, sure enough, it was Zefrank.

"Maybe they'll have some motivation to clean up their marketplace."
In a better world, this wouldn't have been necessary because Amazon wouldn't have screwed their customers by allowing vendors to rip them off like this. I'd rather not have seen it come to this but it feels kind of like Amazon deserved it. Lot of that going around these days.
