CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.

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.

All I can think about is this: https://theonion.com/why-cant-i-sell-any-of-these-fucking-bibles-1819583497/

Seems like there should be a cheaper way to cull the population of Russia, but I guess I’m not that experienced with that sort of thing.

I thought this was fake or a bad result or something, but totally just duplicated it. Wow.

If you read the block of text…. It doesn’t make sense either.

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.

… and they’re passing a bill to revoke car companies access to data and make collecting and sharing data illegal and add steep fines if any are found to collect it in the first place, right? Right?

Come on, these are the people at can do something about it, but they’re just going to be paid off and nothing will change.

A few weeks ago my daughter and I were out and about and almost went to McDonalds. We decided instead to go to our favorite local Italian place and it ended up being cheaper than McDs, if you don’t include the tip, for a much better meal at a sit down restaurant that supports local businesses. I really feel like McDonald’s priced themselves out of their own market… and they’re not even the most expensive “fast food”.

There’s hardware video encoding/decoding support. I used a Pi3b+ to transcode video for a while and would easily get 2x or better on full 1080p video. The 4 is better and I’ve heard even better on the 5, but I’ve not had a compelling reason to spend that much to find out.
