It makes sense though. Adults can buy whatever they want without hoping it would be gifted to them. Kids on the other hand aren’t exactly swimming in disposable income.

I agree. Pretty much everything my wife and I receive are things we didn’t want or need in the first place. The stuff we give out are also the same for their recipients. We’re planning to tell our friends and family next year to skip out on presents for us and just donate the money to a good cause if they still want to gift us something. The only thing that matters to us is to spend a good time with them.

The only exception to this would be for kids of course. They deserve the joy of unwrapping toys and gadgets.

Raid builds hurt financially up front but can save you from a lot of heartache later, even with larger disks.

I’m grateful for OPs who paste at least some of the relevant information into the post without having to click on the link. Personally it’s better to avoid going to the site since you’re bombarded with cookie notices, subscription solicitations, browser notification requests, and even ads of you’re not using uBlock.

It’s easy to be patient when you have a backlog of games to go through. Paying full price for a game that still has Denuvo or other forms of DRM just isn’t worth it for me. That said, I’m very sad Fantasian will be released with Denuvo soon after years of languishing in Apple Arcade.

The castle. No back pain so far thanks to a career in mostly office jobs.

I was one of those people flipping out about the Rockstar Social Club and Ubisoft Connect crap. There’s zero need to force additional DRM on paying customers. We might not have all been vocal but we were around.

The Alamo’s a story of American expansionism by an ungrateful group of settlers welcomed by Mexico.

They were called popcorn balls in my localization.

Their shit films are doing poorly at the box office. It must be due to piracy!

A crackhead specializing in magic sounds like quite a threat.

Mozilla’s slowly creeping in the surveillance with adding integrated crap like Pocket and AI driven Fake Spot. I’m really glad Librewolf’s made a privacy focused fork of their browser without all that nonsense.

I’m no expert but I think it’s “PPSh”.

Got a T450 for less than a hundred bucks and the build quality’s something that no longer exists in this day and age. Almost every piece of hardware in that thing’s easily accessible and replaceable. It’s gonna be a sad day when it finally dies out and nothing else in the market could compare.

That sounds an awful lot like modifying an ESP32 script I’ve been trying to follow from a YouTube tutorial published a while back. Research hasn’t uncovered anything for me to troubleshoot the issue so it’s a really shit experience.

Holy crap we’re no better than storm troopers.

I thought OneDrive was a Windows thing. What’s it doing on Linux?

Anker builds pretty solid cables too. They’re the go-to at my place of work.

Most micro USB cables that came bundled with phones or gadgets were built so cheaply that they don’t even have data pins. They’re a pain to sort out whenever I want to program a board.
