There has to be better footage of this. Portrait mode? Not steady? Not looking the right direction? What is this, Amateur Hour?!

Currently. Iirc, this is being removed company wide. I know the ones near me recently renovated and no long have customer accessible drink machines.

Interesting and sad to hear. Personally I’ve gone with Lenovo if I’m not going with Mac. Heck, My wife has a 2011 Lenovo which has been running flawlessly. The only thing I did was bump the RAM and put in an SSD when Win7 upgraded to 10. Maybe I just skipped the crappy years?

All joking aside, I haven’t had issues with Macs overheating in years, especially with the M chips. Last time I had an issue was when they tried to cram an i9 in a MBP.

Now the Dell laptops we have at work on the other hand, I’ve had to down clock them in bios so they don’t run at 100% or they will literally overheat just running windows. One of my coworkers has to run his upside down or it doesn’t get enough air through the vents to prevent it from auto shutting down due to thermal issues.

I know absolutely no one who thinks a Tesla (any of them) is a luxury EV. Musk is doing a great job making them undesirable to the general public, hence the large amount of unsold teslas sitting around in lots. It’s not all because of his politics, some of it is just because their quality control is terrible, as is their software.

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.

Honestly, If the cars pass NHTSA regulations, don’t phone home info to China or BYD, and are inexpensive and not just cheap disposable vehicles, bring ‘em in! I want an inexpensive EV for commuting. It’s not crazy far, and I don’t care about bells and whistles. I just want to make it back and forth reliably and in one piece and I feel like that’s a huge portion of the population.

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.

I remember when they had this stuff in stores. Then one day they decided it wasn’t making them any money and dropped all but the latest and the previous gen. This stuff was the primary reason I went to GS. After they dropped retro, little stores started to pop up to fill the gap and do it a lot better. Leaning into the culture surrounding retro gaming and imports and soundtracks and such. Not sure I’d go back to GS at this point. They kinda blew their own hand.

Taliban men must be the weakest in the world if they can’t even hear a woman’s voice without being shoved into temptation. Do they all just instantly nut when a wrist bone slides out from the veil?! Talk about not having any confidence in themselves.

Or an OTA software update. Or some water.

It doesn’t look at all like a Nautilus.

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.

My bookmarks are competing with my unplayed steam library.

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.

I remember footage of him on TV shoveling in huge plates of spaghetti in the ready room at the venue he was competing at that day.

We used turbo pascal in school in the early 90’s. And it had assembly blocks… which I used copious amounts of because it was the only way to make the IBM PS/1’s do useful graphics.
