If you have a vast Lego collection of bricks in a bucket, you could probably do with some inspiration and help sorting out the pile. I can make little people, and a wall!

That seemed like an interesting idea, that if ported to Android I'd be interested in trying out. Especially if it could integrate with part lists for official sets. But as I kept reading I saw:
Quote: It is also advised to remote any Duplo and Technic bricks from the pile, as the app doesn't currently detect those bricks.
And while not supporting Duplo probably doesn't matter (these are the giant toddler sized bricks not used with anything else); many medium+ sized regular lego models do use some Technic pieces (Bricks/Beams/Frames connected with pins/modified bricks) in places where it results in a stronger model.
That oversight is large enough that I'm concerned that this isn't the work of an actual Lego fan, but rather someone who just wanted to create a viralable computer vision project for resume padding which is unlikely to become feature complete or be enhanced over time.

Those bad programming practices are so evil that every developer will hate your work. Collect the full set

I would be happy with that full set. I can ensure you that it can be worse...

July 11 2021 Richard Branson goes to Space* but not orbit and then comes back a few minutes later.
July 20 2021 Jeff Bezos goes to space but not orbit and then comes back a few minutes later.
2023 Elon tweets pictures of Branson and Bezos's headquarters taken from 350km up captioned "*Thbbbbbbt*!!!!!!"
* Falls short of the internationally recognized 100km altitude because his rocketplane is overweight and underpowered. IT does however cross the lower 50mi threshold used by the USAF prior to the international standard being set which they've never changed because they don't want to revoke the astronaut wings given to early rocket plane pilots.

Volodymyr Kvashuk was sentenced to 9 years in prison, and will be charged restitution of $8.3 million. As punishment, he'll be forced to explain to pensioners why they can't install Windows 11 on their 15 year-old computers

He should be punished to explain advanced users why they can't choose anything else beyond the restart point regarding windows updates

I see a blue screen
And I want it coded black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the users walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I see a line of screens
And they're all coded black
With clippy and my love
Both never to come back
I've seen people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
It just happens everyday
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my blue screen
I must have it coded black
Maybe then, I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world is black
No more will my green scene
Go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing
Happening to you
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes
I see a blue screen
And I want it coded black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the users walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I wanna see it coded
Coded black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it coded, coded, coded
Coded black, yeah

While remote work has its benefits, workload complexity isn’t one of them; only 32% of IT professionals believe their jobs will get easier in a hybrid model. All those surprised must be new here

FTFY.
All the easy jobs are being replaced with robots and code.

IT professionals need to realize that this is a rude wake-up call for them either shape up or ship out cause the CEO wants to move them to the cloud in the sky with no life always stuck to the front of the computer doing devops and coding debuging.......never leaving the house...only visiting the toilet to perform some primary operations...

Ever wondered how long it takes for a Windows Update to install? Well, you don't have to guess because Windows 11 will give you an estimate. It may not be accurate, but it will tell you
And by "may not", of course I mean, "almost certainly will not"

It will probably be like the old NT4 file copy time remaining estimates.

Much like the progress bar with a time estimate that stops at 99% and says "0 seconds remaining."
