In some “ecosystems” everything being free is kinda how you are compensated, instead of money. You spend time making your thing for free, but so does everyone else so you don’t have to pay for those things either. The two main examples I’ve personally been involved with are game modding and 3d printing models, I use the free stuff other people make all the time, releasing the things I make for free is how I pay it back.

But yeah, if you use something you really like, throw them a buck or two for the work.
…although I’ve donated about as much as I’ve received as donations myself. Eh. No matter.

Time uses a normal display connector, it doesn’t suffer from the pebble screen tear as it’s known.
You can still damage the display, either by force or with moisture ingress, but it’s not at all the same type of an issue - zebra connectors require pressure to stay connected, and over time they lose their squishiness and the connection gets unreliable.

They fixed the screen tearing over a decade ago, it was only present on the original and Pebble Steel because they used zebra strips for the display connection. And unless you had the very first kickstarter edition, which was glued shut and didn’t have screws, the fix for the screen tear was to put a piece of paper inside the case to add just a bit of thickness, it took less than 5 minutes.

Adjusted for inflation, $199 in 2016 would be $267.85 today.

One user asked X’s native AI, Grok, who was right in the feud. The chatbot replied: “Based on verified evidence, Sam Altman is right.”

Man I love reading about Grok throwing shade at elon, never stops being funny.

Yeah, Stripe is the reason itch.io had to pull all paid NSFW games.

However, it isn’t exactly their fault, either:

We spoke with Stripe yesterday about their content policies. They confirmed that they will not be able to support adult content that fits the following definition: “content designed for sexual gratification.” Stripe asked us to pass along the following message to our users:

“Stripe is currently unable to support sexually explicit content due to restrictions placed on them by their banking partners, despite card networks generally supporting adult content (with the appropriate registrations). Stripe has indicated that they hope to be able to support adult content in the future.”
