Just for fun: this would have worked so much better if they price dropped the PS5 and introduced the PS5 Pro at the old price.

People are anchored into thinking the PS5 is a certain value, and if they did that, it would instantly make the PS5 Pro and the PS5 appear to be a bargain, and so much of the PS5-owning public would have bought another system because it would be "such a good deal," while PS5 fence-sitters would jump at the core system. I'm not trained to say for sure, but I think while their profit margin would be lower they'd be making much more money.

Someone needs to leak Coyote vs. Acme already. If it's been written off, what's the harm?

Sure, when I can, but the issue is I'm in bed for 8 hours and getting 4-5 hours of sleep...

I'm all for people trying, so agree with this.

But my experience: I haven't had a good night's sleep in 10 years (wake up and am half-asleep, half-awake most of the night). I went to a sleep study, did the sleep-in-hospital-with-electrodes-everywhere thing, met with three doctors in series after, and their conclusion was that I should sleep more. I wish I was joking.

This is tragic. I can't think of how many computers I built using incomparable Anandtech articles. The depth of the testing, and careful, scientific planning really has no match in tech journalism.

The high water mark just lowered.

It's called Unreal PT. The last version I believe is 1.0.7, and it's still hosted on the Internet Archive.

New polling shared exclusively with Semafor shows Democrats’ attacks on JD Vance’s views on abortion, divorce and “childless cat ladies” are sticking with voters.

I mean, "democratic attacks" is not the right description when it's JD that's the problem and the "attacks" are pointing out that he's neither a good guy nor a good candidate.

Yikes. The parasocial relationship people have with Trump is psychotic - this guy clearly felt like an attempt on Trump's life by a random nutjob was equivalent to an attempt on his own life by whoever is arguing with him.

Harris polling right now (and specifically, the trend, since the polling is on track to continue improving until the election) is our control period, before the money and right-wing propaganda hit.

I guess we'll find out in November not just whether democracy in the US ends, but whether Citizen's United is the cause of death.

This is why Trump is so hard to satirize. The reality is always a bigger punchline.

The beatings will continue until ad revenue improves.

Translation: "I'm going to delay and make every excuse for as long as possible, and only debate her if all of that fails."
