Am I the only one who loves the Switch? That the joycons come off and even have their own shoulder buttons is so cool. You can just set it on a table and play some multiplayer Mario Kart, heck yes. And they snap into the ring fit circle thingie! Neat! And the Pro controller is great all around.

Shout out to the DS Lite. Loved that thing. Gotta have the thumb strap to play that Metroid multiplayer FPS.

Worst: TI-84. How the hell they still charging over $100 for this thing, when it has less processing power than a Palm Pilot? Seriously the CPU is from 1976. Yeah Bubble Bobble and Block Dude are great, but the Zelda port runs awful.

We already moved the fingerprint scanner from the back of the phone to the front of the phone, and our focus groups say it would be SO COOL if the scanner was even farther forward!! So on our next model, to unlock your phone, simply punch yourself in the face

It's also worth pointing out that this was sued in a copyright lawsuit some time ago. The wikipedia article mentions it, but here's the slashdot discussion if you want to feel like stepping into a time machine: https://m.slashdot.org/story/158778

It caused a momentary panic when everyone realized that this thing runs the system clocks for everything everywhere, and if it got taken down by a copyright suit it would be disastrous for, well, everybody.

a practical, actionable solution

I'm starting to believe that there is a contingent on Lemmy who wants this solution to be violent revolution, but they don't want to say that out loud. They don't want you to vote Kamala, they don't want you to vote Trump, they don't want you to vote third-party--they want you to make some molotovs and buy a Guy Fawkes mask.

But maybe I'm just reading into things.

Honestly surprised eggs aren't higher across the board

 

Received this email. Blech.

Dear Prime member,

We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.

 

Music is neat.
