Worm is great at what it does, which is to lure in people wanting to read power fantasies about being a superhero and then smashing every trope. (All the powers involve deep trauma. Everyone needs a therapist. Very few get any therapy. The world ends because we can't take care of each other nicely.)

Seems reasonable. I assume one of your lights is on the left and another on the right, not two on the left.

Better sound recording would definitely be your best upgrade; you may be able to pipe your phone camera in to your PC as a video source (search DroidCam), in which case you can set up for simultaneously recording audio through some better channel -- your initial capture determines the extent of what you can do with it, so a good mic -> USB is probably what you want.

Sure, but then you have to generate all that crap and store it with them. Preumably Github will eventually decide that you are wasting their space and bandwidth and... no, never mind, they're Microsoft now. Competence isn't in their vocabulary.

You must prove yourself in the Outer Circle before being granted leave to study the Inner Mysteries. Or at least attend the right parties.

No wristwatch, but I have glasses and without electricity I stop breathing. (While asleep.)

So, yeah, cyborg.

What would effective accounting even look like?

A bunch of youse is thinking irrationally.

It's them what go in front of the cannon.

The main character commits rape because this isn't a real universe anyway. You made the right choice.

It's true, but they are still fairly easy to injure.

Try forming a fist and then hitting with the outside edge of the hand instead of your poor little fingers.

Or learn from your ancestors and become a tool-using mammal. I understand milkshakes have a distinct fondness for fascists.

My friend's father -- coincidentally named Feinman, not Feynman - used to say "They always advertise what they haven't got."

"Less Wrong".

If you are in a 60 Hz electrical area (i.e. the Americas, mostly), and the power is rock-steady, and you have cheap fluorescent lighting -- then anything other than 60 Hz refresh rates might improve your screen, but much more so on old CRTs than on modern LCDs and OLEDs.

These days, like most smartphone 'features', it is mostly but not entirely about a checkmark to induce you to feel that you are missing out on something.
