It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I’ve noticed this in IoT all the time.

When every game before the DSi had to be ready out the door but every game after could have day zero fixes.

When Windows had to come in one piece because all fixes could only come through service packs.

When your smart fridge needs a firmware update

Etc. Etc.

Capitalism has to work extra hard to keep itself viable

Even the Mars rovers have day zero patches

So they can pull off a mars express error and fixit if they find it inflight?

That would be cool

Each probe has two fully redundant computers so they push to one with prod and one is a fallback. A lot of times the code isn't finished by landing and development happens in flight.
