It might come down a bit. Look at all the price hikes since 2019, prices are not going to come down.

cloying

adjective

excessively sweet, rich, or sentimental, especially to a disgusting or sickening degree

Neat, new word.

You’re not wrong… especially since he feels the need to plaster his name on everything. But don’t give him ideas…

On that note, can we collectively change “trump card” to being a bad thing?

In theory a great idea. But more and more people are walking around with guns and more and more people believe violence is the answer to everything and more and more people are just completely unhinged because they have main character syndrome. I’m not risking getting shot.

I mean a law is why Apple is adopting the USB type-c on the iPhone… Else they were never going to change.

Edit, fixed word

It’s almost like that 99% is because they don’t have an alternate option.

I’ve had phones from the '90s that still work, so not sure what $5 headphones you were using or what you were doing with them. I’m fairly confident that no matter what price point none of your pod things will function 20-30 years from now. Is that mean you haven’t lost them by then.

GN doesn’t seem to have a problem holding their sponsors accountable, putting a story together, doing their due diligence, and then letting everybody know.

If only they had some medium to post the information, perhaps a medium that that VAST MAJORITY of their viewers use.

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

I have over 6,000 hours in Dota2.

Agreed.

Stories are trope filled and unoriginal most of the time (there’s a few that seem like they try). The art is lazy. There used to be complex mature themes and now there’s like 5 madlibs used to pump out generic crap. I feel like the last one I saw that felt like classic anime was Knights of Sidonia

Can we just deport the one then? Arguably doing the most damage.

So Musk really is just going full Bond-esk super villain with world domination right? That’s what this is? He doesn’t have to win any election so long as he can just buy every government, which he can then ensure he owns all the money, to buy more…

The Alters isn’t out yet. Expected release Q1 2025. It’s on my wish list because I love the demo.

Indika they were just the publisher. On top of which, maybe has a story that not everyone is interested in. I watched these guys play it, https://youtu.be/MuiHtAYOqgI and while it’s creative and it’s overall a fantastic game, is not one I’m going to play myself.

The Thaumaturge, again they are just the publisher. I hadn’t even heard of this one which means as the publisher they did a terrible job marketing it.

There’s a reason there was big hype, and then it fell out of existence, with videos on YouTube dedicated to unraveling the truth…

They hire psychologists to explicitly figure out how to better make sales. Logical thinking will not win. Microtransactions, which consists of crap you don’t need, is a billion dollar industry and has bankrupted numerous homes.

Yeah, most of those sites end up recommending the same brands over and over, which causes people to buy them and talk about them. I don’t want to say, a scam, but it feels… scummy.

They never talk about other brands like Ubiquiti. Which isn’t a perfect brand either, but I’ve never seen it compared. Or even a low end Netgate. It’s always TP-Link, Asus, Netgear, Linksys, or D-Link… the same brands that have existed for the last 20 years offering crap. But Ubiquiti, Hawking, Belkin, etc. you basically never see.

I just googled it. Top 3 sites were wired.com, pcmag.com, and reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking (with a top comment pointing to cnet.com and nytime.com). And if you guessed TP-Link was recommended no.1 on all of them, you’d be right. To me, with the absolute garbage reviews on all of them, and the stupidity small sample size, it feels like TP-Link just buys the reviews because customers will read the reviews and buy their garbage. There was a mattress company that did something very similar years ago. The deck is stacked against customers.

And especially scummy, is TP-Link offers some cheaply made, highly marked up garbage that underperforms. They also are notorious for not delivering consistent updates to their routers. Maybe one or two updates, and they certainly don’t care if all the features don’t work. Just looked up one I bought from them before I wised up, the Archer C5400. 2 updates on a $200 router, that came highly recommended. Checked the v2, and also just 2 updates. I doubt it’ll ever see another.

On top of their terrible support and pathetic hardware… they also moved to a cloud SaaS config model. They want you to sign up for an account and use TP-Link Tether. Here’s something written up 3 years ago on [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/tbthjj/psa_newer_tplink_routers_send_all_your_web/}

My general suggestion for most people who want something that just works and is easy to use… the Ubiquiti Dream router isn’t a bad option. It’s not the best, but if you don’t want to really get into how networking works, it’s a good option.

I mean really yeah.

Either God doesn’t exist. Or God does exist and allows this crap to happen, which is akin to just approving of it. And if that’s the case hail Satan.

How? The 7 and 10 are among the better received versions of Windows, for stability, performance, hardware compatibility, etc. What was your experience with Vista that was so good and 7 and 10 being so bad?

I hate Windows 11, for a multitude of reasons. But it is still a better experience than Vista. An unbelievably better than Windows ME. Windows ME for me was the worst desktop OS I think I’ve ever used. If we open it up to just any old OS, then I want to say Novell was the worst I ever used.
