Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

Man if there’s a city that might hate Trump more than DC does it might be New York. New York city residents fucking hate that man, he’s been a stain on the city since the 80s

Well the original version was a little more on the nose about it

Hey man, I live here. We’re not a republican state. We have more registered Democrats than Republicans, and between the two major metropolitan centers (Charlotte and The Triangle) we actually should be voting largely Democrat. However Republicans bunched all those voters into a few districts and then gave rural bumfuck nowhere disproportionate representation on a state level. Then they used that to gerrymander themselves into a supermajority, then used that to start rat fucking the good reps out of districts (pour one out for Jeff Jackson). We literally had maps so fucked up our current supreme court said “that’s too far” and all they did was submit shittier and shittier maps until we got stuck with the first unconstitutional one because “we didn’t have another option”

We’re not quite a Mississippi where we’ve been shooting our own feet for decades, Republicans have wrested undue control over the state by being cheaters and it’s important for all of you to see that because they’ll do it to you too

That’s corpo PR speak. That doesn’t say anything

So… there’s never going to be another Xbox?

As someone who works in tech I occasionally point out to people that if Jeff Bezos decided to go full supervillain he could hold the internet hostage. If you disabled AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud individually the cascading failures on the various systems would take weeks to fix, which we might not have with a supply chain collapse. Genuinely, I think there’s a real chance it could trigger the collapse of human civilization

I was really confused why this was news because I remembered trying mad max mode. It’s fucking batshit how aggressively it merges on that mode. I turned it off immediately. Although the speeding thing isn’t new, all the autopilot modes will let you set the speed to 15 over or more by default

I’m not trying to start a fight with you on this but by what metric do you measure that? To my knowledge institutional trading outpaces retail in terms of total dollars invested, number of trades, and total valuation (as in the total market value of the retail traders is more than the net worth of retail investors)

I’ve maintained that the stock market divorced itself from reality a long time ago. As of making this comment by market cap Toyota, BYD, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, GM, Volkswagen, Ford, and Porsche COMBINED are worth $100 billion less than HALF of Tesla. Is there anyone out there that would choose a minority stake in Tesla vs owning 9 of the biggest auto manufacturers on the planet outright?

Point being I don’t see stock valuation as a measure of how successful companies are. How high were stocks in the dot com boom? In 2008?

I remember when Hades came out and my buddy was saying it was going to be GOTY over Cyberpunk 2077 and all of us just laughed at him. I think he was on the right side of history

America is so hung up on people seeking asylum here that I think they wanted to emphasize that people are seeking asylum from America and not in America before people glossed over the story

Since the south got ahold of it:

It’s not my first choice but I fuck with a cheeseburger pizza:

The lettuce must be added after cooking but it’s a fun crunch

Unironic question: is it possible to boycott goods from a country apolitically?

I’ve always loved that there was a controversy because another studio took over the anime and ruined “the artistic vision” of the creator. So much so he basically made a whole season rebooting a previous one just to make his story. His masterpiece including:

Pailingual… The spell is powerful and feared (by women), and used to gain information.[1] It has, since its introduction, become one of Issei’s trademark spells. However, it has been banned during Rating Games

When cast, it causes a mysterious space to expand and unfold with Issei at the center, and only Issei and Ddraig can hear the voices that it creates

Pailingual is an area-effect spell that causes women’s breasts to speak, revealing their thoughts and plans and allowing Issei and his allies to come up with counters or defenses

It’s a good thing my password is CatrAdora69! or this would really fuck me up
