PC games are pretty much locked down to the original purchaser. Console games could be bought and sold used. Once I was done with a console generation I just sold everything on ebay and made back a bunch of my money (especially since I bought most of it used as well).
PC games are a whole different beast. But now that most console games are locked to an account… there’s really no benefit of them anymore. Just get a PC for your living room and install SteamOS (or similar).
It works until it doesn’t. Companies can push prices for a little while, maybe a whole generation, but one day people decide it’s not worth it and it all crashes down suddenly.
Happens over and over again, could be the new era of PC gaming that Valve is pushing will tip them over, could be a new generation of Nintendo games. Could be a new company from China.
Big players do this every time, then the CEO says “nobody could have predicted that the 6th price hike was the end of the brand!”
Meh, I kinda randomly decide whenever I make a run. I’d say most of my cable runs are A, but I definitely have a bunch of B too.
Just depends on how I’m feeling that day.
Yeah, that’s why any city that has a professional sport playing somewhere immediately declares martial law and implements a citywide curfew until it’s clear the celebrations are over.
Most teams are discouraged from winning anything significant. Cities literally bribe the officials to keep their teams out of any championships.
If you’re wondering how [Curt] managed to 3D print a functional hose sprayer, the short answer is that he didn’t. Once assembled, the printed parts cleverly attach to the top of a standard sprayer, specifically the model 56516 “Pro Flo” from Orbit.
Boo, would have been neat if he got a working sprayer from only 3d printed parts. But that would be pretty unreasonable due to the pressures and the need for valves.
Works fine for me.
There are some pretty big downsides to essential oils. They can be an allergen to some people, they don’t last nearly as long, and they don’t tend to work as well.
The CDC does not recommend them for use in areas where mosquitos harbor disease.
DEET and Picaridin are just fine for people to use, they last much longer and actually repel mosquitos very well. You’re unlikely to breed resistant mosquitos because there’s already plenty of mammals around that don’t use repellent (like wildlife) for them to feed on.

The Deep Space Network is very impressive.
Nothing is 100% good or 100% bad. Even oxygen has problems that are caused in the body.
Coffee, like many things, can cause some health issues, but also some health benefits.
The problem is that the headlines only talk about this specific effect studied. When you get down the details, it’s a lot less clear cut then “drink coffee = live longer” or “drink coffee = die younger”
I did that for a bit, but there was a noticeable increase in power usage on my server for something I’m not using.
I don’t understand this argument.
I paid once many years ago. I’ve never been asked to pay again. Why would I switch before they make a change?
In the meantime, jellyfin is getting better and better. Plex will probably be dead to me at some point, and when that happens, I’ll hop over.
It’s the start of the Psychic Wars!
Someone call Blue Öyster Cult!

You can 3d print your own and play pretend!
Problem is, the supreme court also said they’re the only court who can stop him at a national level.
So… Every time he breaks the rules, it has to go all the way to the SC to get overturned. Unless congress does LITERALLY ANYTHING.
Extraordinarily inefficient… On purpose.
Realistically, most jobs don’t NEED hands. Most physical jobs can be done better with customized manipulators for the type of work being done.
We’d only need hands if we wanted a single robot model that could do multiple types of jobs, instead of a specific robot for each job.
Please stay far far away from any suspected cults.
Wait, there was a secret John Paul the 3rd??? No wonder they thought he was evil!!!
I’m 98% sure he just cut his ear while getting covered by secret service, or while getting back up.
2% chance he was cut intentionally as a show.
There 0% chance he was nicked by a bullet.
Except history disproves this over and over.
People get stuck in what they know, but eventually they break out of it, and usually it’s a small thing that takes them over the tipping point.
Thinking that everyone on the planet is dumb except yourself just proves you’re not looking into the facts.
