They don’t have asmany sales, but I’ve definitely scored some good prices on games here and there. They often run 20+% off on first party titles and non-first party gets deep discounts (I scored Rabbids for $4 a while back). I just wish they’d do the equivalent of PS Greatest Hits for like $20.

For some situations a console is nicer than a PC. Solid, consistent, single unit I can just connect to a TV and play. I’ve got a PC and I prefer it, but the average console is cheaper than my PC was and simpler for non-geek family members to boot up and play on a whim.

Enter Nintendo. Crappy 9yo SOC, sure, whatever, here are some fun games that aren’t graphically advanced.

We still quote this video nearly daily at work. Luckily I don’t have to deal with mongodb anymore.

The kind of issues you run into “running the Internet” are not the same as the average desktop user. Most of those systems don’t even have a monitor attached, let alone a whole desktop environment or GUI.

My bookmarks are competing with my unplayed steam library.

I would argue that buying a $10-20 usb Bluetooth adapter is much preferred to giving my info and data and privacy away to Meta. Not to mention the other things you can use it for.

Personally I’m really glad Sony went with Bluetooth over some sort of proprietary tech.

This is actually a really cool idea. I feel like this would even be good for adults!

It’s in reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Touch

That said, it was discontinued in favor of Haptic Touch a while back.

10yrs ago if have said yes… however, I feel like page 1 is only ads and images to ads and sponsored content so I end up on page 2 anyway, so now I have to click a button.

I will say that we’re definitely getting to a level of adblockers that the sites actively care about blocking content or warning about people using adblockers. It’s starting to affect their bottom lines.

I guess they don’t celebrate Truck Month or the Sign Then Drive event? Losers!

I had an Athlon motherboard with voice POST messages… one night I woke up to it saying “your CPU has a problem!” over and over and was freaked out until I was completely awake and figure out what was wrong.

It wasn’t high quality coming through the piezo speaker, but it was good enough.

She looks like she’s under water (what with the fish and octopus) and they are on the same plane as the white outlines and other things in the image, like they’re reflections or clouds.

Kinda looks like it should be turned clockwise 90 degrees as she’s falling into the water. (You can tell because the way the tips of her hair are further towards the left like she’s sinking)

I mean, it’s a bit abstract, but there’s no evidence I see for them to be what you seem to be thinking they are.

Edit: actually it might be that there’s glass on the left like she’s in an aquarium with the fish and such. Again, “white blobs” are reflections.

Most people… I mean, the one I use is just an RSS feed aggregator. But in the age of smartphones, people just get an app from their favorite sources and never check others it seems.

I’m reminded of the Family Guy where a bird lays eggs in Peter’s beard.

Who would take them? I mean, I guess you gotta get paid, but when someone demonstrated that they can just drop you with zero warning, trust is negative at that point.

Huh, lots of interesting stats, I wonder how well it actually works…

Unfortunately, the laptop I have on hand cannot be turned on, so I am unable to conduct further evaluation

Ah, that well.

Does that account for the fact that most US Tacoma’s are built in San Antonio (there’s also a plant in Tijuana) and the Tundra is also built at the San Antonio plant?

The tundra, F-150 and Honda Ridge line are all tied at 75% domestic US parts production. The Tacoma’s is a bit lower at 70%.

The OLED dock has an Ethernet port. They’ll work with non-OLED switches so you could buy one if you need the port.

The two USB’s on the side of the case seem sufficient for most use cases. Might be able to add a tiny usb hub if need be, there’s a few tiny ones fore less than $9.

Ergonomics are a bit odd, but the 3DS had similar issues as well. I ended up 3d printing ergonomics grips for my 3ds and I know they have something similar for the switch. I feel like they were towing a line between OTG usability and being able to hold the joycons in multiple orientations (think just dance, 1-2 switch, Mario party, 51 games, etc), or in different accessories (not sure how well an ergo one would work in a leg strap with the ring fit).

Edit: also the first thing I did was buy a cheap 128GB micro SD and never look back. Sure it probably would her been nice if it wasn’t needed, but it’s swappable and it’s cheaper than if they built it in.

Forking shirtballs!
