I was waiting for this story after I saw that on my inbox.

Waiting until “plex pro” and they slowly sunset features on the original plex lifetime pass.

Hey look! We rediscovered netbooks!

Might have to dust off my EeePC.

Well after whatever period of time, the option to even request a chargeback on your account portal goes away. Not sure how you’d even proceed at that point, but I imagine it involves an incredible amount of being on hold.

If tens of thousands of people started requesting chargebacks for the same product at the same time from a new vendor, I don’t think Visa would be quick to side with the vendor.

As I pointed out a year ago, this phone never existed.

They just waited until it was too late to do credit card chargebacks before pulling the rug. I’ve seen it on Kickstarter dozens of times.

If all the medium range stuff is just last year’s high end, I can live with that.

so 1b is 1 butt or approximately 481l.

On the flip side, I couldn’t get Linux native Jackbox to run because the devs failed to update it to support something (Wayland maybe, IDK was troubleshooting mid Xmas party).

Ended up installing the Windows version in Proton.

That’s fair. Forgot about the delay on the App Store. Still I’d say the pipeline of Wii gamer to iPhone gamer is pretty small. Maybe more on the developer side than customer.

since the Wii

I mean the iPhone came out a year later…

I had an idea for a sci-fi setting where criminals are held in stasis like Demolition Man or Minority Report except the point isn’t to keep them away from society or rehabilitate them. It’s to rob them of their time in the present assuming that things are only going to bet worse.

I’m surprised someone got an AI to work with the constraints of proper monochrome pixel art.

I don’t understand, why wouldn’t the AI simply write its own version of whatever software it needs to license?

Bought it in 2018. Tried to convince him to buy a Kia.

Guy randomly stopped me to ask me how I like my Model 3 when I was getting out of it in a parking lot last week. First time that’s happened in like 6 years.

PSSST

“It’s pronounced PS/2”

For everyone who never tried it, they had honest to god paid employees in Horizon Worlds to help players get oriented. I cannot imagine a worse job.

The one I ran into was standing in front of some “game” experience that was like…jumping on tiles or some shit.

But I thought the whole line was “hOrIzOn WoRlDs iSnt the MeTaVeRsE.”

Followed by no explanation of what the metaverse is.
