"broken build" here likely refers to the phrase as defined by gamers to function as synonymous to "overpowered".

As in, "the build is so broken you can't/it is difficult to play against it". This phraseology could be used by either an ally or an enemy, but it contextually changes connotation from positive for allies to negative for enemies.

Build is often used as a shorthand for a character's combination of items, skills, and levels (as the various games define it).

Yup. My background is computer science transitioned to IT Infra.

My sister sent me a screenshot of a Spotify one-liner error, white text on black background, captioned "they wrote a lazy error". I immediately recognized that the actual problem was the load balancer in the front end trying and failing to connect to the backend/middleware in the first error, then in the second it recognized a failed health check and reporting that no back ends were available. Root cause is probably networking issue or actual server crash.

I also have a bonus that in high school I had watched a ton of videos on VFX/SFX and knew a rough way around After Effects and compositing (before I jumped into CS I had considered this as a career path), so now when I watch TV and movies I can also see some of the "layers" they use to compile the on screen effect.

Who am I to judge if the card has sufficient performance, security, cost, and physical form factor for my needs.

That makes sense

I was thinking it was referring to something like a SAS or BIOS firmware update. Which would be impressive if that also ran BSD

I'd put the deflate algorithm over the LZMA algorithm just because deflate is used by both windows (zip) and Unix (gzip). Windows I don't think has added LZMA/xz support until recently if at all.

Gotcha. Yeah low level Unix has some weird stuff going on sometimes.

Oh thank goodness, that was one of my main complaints with the system. Did they ever get around to requiring sudo like Macports (and any other reasonable system level packages manager on BSD/Linux)?

After Crowdstrike are we sure it's not all blue screens in the windows column?

If it's anything like when I used a Mac regularly 7y ago, Homebrew doesn't install to /bin, it installs to /usr/local/bin, which only works for scripts that use env in their shell "marker" (if you don't call it directly with the shell). You're just putting a higher bash in the path, not truly updating the one that comes with the system.
