Happy Birthday to Marc
Birthdays are good. The more you have, the longer you live.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

For what?
Go thank your mother, she did the work.
Srsly. Go to her, say "thank you"  It elephanting hurts, I been told. Imagine pressing an orange through your nose.

I would rate the curved OLED displays on phones as #1 useless innovation.
Just because they could bend a display, it doesn't mean they have to dump it on a product.
How bad this is. It's so annoying and uncomfortable. 
In fact, it is said - the curved design makes it weaker structurally.
Anybody has a phone with curved display (on the two sides ) and finding great use-cases for the same?

Have heard somewhere that 95 percent of patents filed are useless innovations.

|
|
|
|
And some of them slipping into actual production is even worse.

Doesn't matter; before that, no one could have curved glass. It is novelty and as such, people will pay more for the technical inferiour version.

These curved phone displays you've just described, the foldable phones Samsung had to recall, curved TVs - they all share one common thing: It's a solution looking for a problem to solve.

I'm thinking about making my app be able to update itself directly from a github repo/branch
good idea, bad idea? what do you think?
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Not a good idea for a dev tool, IMHO. My freeware (consumer-oriented) apps give the end-user the ability to update their app in-place, with a single button click (if they so choose).

that's what I'm talking about though. in place self-updates using github releases. i'm not making a dev tool out of it. More like a sample app with a drop in source file that handles it.
