Why are arcade cabinets so expensive? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.

I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.

I LOVED TA back in the day. I recently bought it again off Steam.

Atari 2600 gamez! Very cool. I still have my 2600 and the TV I used when I was a kid. Both still work.

Also, so glad someone put arcade games on their list.

Ultima IV !!! Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.

I bet most people here don't know any of the Ultima games.

How can I anonymously create a G! play account? Is it possible to create an anonymous email account that G! play will accept? (kbin.social)
 

Trying to set this up for some healthcare stuff I want to keep private. Finding this to be very difficult, mostly because I can't find anonymous, secure email.

Any advice welcome.

Why don't phones support 2FA? (kbin.social)

Phones could allow much higher security if they supported 2 factor authentication. This could be face/fingerprint along with a typed or swiped password. This seems like a simple solution that leverages software that is already implemented. Just make it an added option in addition to the existing one

ETA: Sorry for the duplicate posts, I was getting error messages. Pls use this one.

I am surprised there is confusion about what 2fa is. Here is a simple definition: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/security-101/what-is-two-factor-authentication-2fa

Biden administration to impose inflation penalties on dozens of drugmakers (kbin.social)

The Biden administration will subject dozens of drugmakers to inflation penalties, the White House said on Thursday, in a move that would reduce out-of-pocket costs for Medicare recipients.

President Joe Biden's signature Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes a provision to penalize drugmakers for charging prices that rise faster than inflation for people on Medicare, a government program for those age 65 and older and the disabled.(https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/dozens-companies-raised-drug-prices-faster-than-inflation-white-house-says-2023-12-14/)
