Yes, but they’re making people quit instead. They don’t need to pay severance to employees who quit because of RTO.

Well then bring it on. If feels too big to fail, but if (hypothetically) Amazon were to go under, the world would be a better place.

This is the Pro, the mid-cycle refresh with more power and whatnot.

Cool, but it’s missing trackpads and Linux…

I never knew how much I needed the trackpads until I played on the deck - unlike with the joysticks, I can actually play FPSs!!

I’m not a lawyer but, I know when you file for a patent you can do that in just one country or internationally (which is significantly more expensive). Skimming through the Wikipedia article it seems to be talking about that, but first you need to have filed for the patent internationally and not in just one country.

From what I’ve read about this topic, it sounds like this is a patent active in Japan only.

Hahaha so funny and edgy lol

Or, you really enjoy a hobby but your hyperfocus makes you research the hobby instead of doing it. E.g. you like photography and your hyperfocus kicks in researching places to go take photos, or gear to buy… Or you spend hours choosing the best cycling route until it’s too dark or the weather changes and you go “What happened to my beautiful afternoon??”.

My hyperfocus tends to kick in whenever the ADHD gremlin inside my brain chooses, not always when I’m doing whatever I enjoy. I wish that was always the case.

HAHAHAHA King Boo and Kirby. In that order. Annoyingly it works well.

I think 60 fps at 4K with raytracing are maybe PS6 specs, not PS5 pro. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

It’s okay. You did the same as me but skipping the steps where you spend the money on a switch, and then leave it in a drawer when you get tired of games that play at 27 FPS, which you’re lucky if you manage to get with a 20% discount after tracking them on dekudeals for months.

the shutdown command was a warning not a request.

Such wise words.

In most of Europe, the prices of Model 3’s match pretty well those of the Polestar 2. The difference in build quality between those two is night and day. The Tesla feels like a Chrysler/Dodge Neon in comparison, with leather being the only concession whatsoever to niceness.

The fact that in Europe somehow they’re “premium” and not budget cars within their category blows my mind.

It’s hip to like Kagi because it’s not Google.

I think I stopped paying for Kagi at the third or fourth controversy I heard about, I can’t remember which one. I wasn’t exactly happy about the implication that paying for Kagi means giving money to the bigot founder of Brave.

Like the fediverse? Like SearxNG? Like Wikipedia?

I know you’ve said “almost”, but there’s a free search engine in there where you’re not the product…

Lol what’s that back design…

👏DYNAMIC👏POWERFUL👏

Probably not. But that’s what happens when you buy Things as a Service.

I don’t know why they keep insisting on live service with an upfront cost. The only way these games are successful is by having a fuckton of teenagers with no money to fill the lobbies and make it feel lively and worthwhile. The minute you add an initial cost, there’s just not enough of a player base to support a game with microtransactions.

I’m not a business genius, but they don’t have to learn from me. There is the very clear precedent of Kill the justice league that they’re choosing to ignore!

It might be a different game, but I thought there would be flights too! Especially when they fight against the robot uprising of the year 2000.

So to make development faster and make sure they didn’t waste time, they spent their time reinventing slack/teams/SharePoint/etc.

It sounds like if Nintendo were a person, they’d have ADHD. This also explains how for every generation, their flagship console looks like a completely new thing. They’re just getting understimulated and bored.

My partner and I got invited to a wedding with a funky, everything-goes sort of dress code. For £50 we bought enough clothes for two blade-runner-esque outfits (we added some bits of our own so the ensemble wouldn’t look too cheap) and a big goose plushie (bigger than an individual pillow). The goose was £14 and not cheaply made at all! That one was genuinely a nice suprise.
