Sometimes software is done: it&#39;s all it needs to be, and that&#39;s OK. Games don&#39;t need to evolve forever. They&#39;re often an artistic vision that just needs to continue to be supported by the OS.<br/><br/>Saying code needs to evolve forever is throwing the baby out with the bathwater and leads to Apple not being able to run PPC games and having even Steam be basically broken. 2026-04-03T12:39:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0hk8h6ch68x7hafe36vezpqw0f2vs98543xx72gkyky8epqd6xmqzyrmjjtgf5hcmxn5pc0kuezcf5cay6qgp46ta8q93yjtdskngkandgmvs5k3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9xuyprjn05q0kjfaw02mf4ulasrhfxvht638zhzznsv3slkw2feqacy39r'>nevent1q…y39r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I had great success taking apart the CD drives and regreasing them... unless the laser&#39;s been fiddled with or the motor is grinding or something, but of the ones I&#39;ve fixed, that was pretty rare...

Do you know how long machines have typically lasted? Ships and vehicles lasted decades! Before industrialization you could live your whole life without a new mechanical development happening!<br/><br/>Now we move fast, break things, and make a whole lot of toxic waste.
