1997 was at least 15 years ago. ;)

There were bug chasers during the pandemic, too. >_>

Jesus, didn't know they controlled the devs behind DRG. Their newest spinoffs looked very....generic. This probably explains why. :/

Really dislike games companies being listed on the stock market. Seems to corrode them from the inside out.

They'd have everything to lose. Everyone wants those machines. Disabling or destroying those machines is like slashing the only nice life raft on the open ocean. Sure, there are others, but they have cracked rubber and don't seem as firm. Bleeding edge fabs are the oil of the 21st century.

I use an Oxford Monster chain and U lock. I park my bike in highly visible areas. Registered it with 529 garage and have the tracking sticker on it. And if I'm really sketched out, I activate a bike alarm that is ungodly loud.

Mostly, it's about making your bike harder to steal. Cutting through 12mm chain and a standard ulock sucks. Getting caught with it being easily identified on 529 makes it risky to steal and easy to be returned. Some cities also do bike valet or bike lockers.

Inb4 "both parties are the same".

While I hate stuff like these rollbacks, we are already starting to see EVs save people money on gas and service, and they are stupidly fast compared to ICE counterparts. That's something Americans of all stripes can get behind.

Once I tried an ebike, I realized I never wanted to go back to gas engines. So fast, so much torque, and pennies to charge vs $70 gas tanks at Costco (even more at a normal gas station). It just makes economic sense to run PEVs in all major urban areas in addition to mass transit.

With traffic and some protected bike lanes, even a conventional bike can almost beat a car in a 7-14 mile drive in my city. An ebike makes it even easier.

Not to mention google and apple deliberately C&Ding stuff like the awesome first party youtube apps and stuff like project islandwood. They deliberately tried to stop their apps from working because they knew what would happen if WP succeeded.

Hopefully, they remain competitive, I wanna try them next time I need a GPU. Would love a Sapphire card.

I think Nintendo will probably try to hit a great pricepoint for parents instead of high performance. The last powerful Nintendo console that I'm aware of was the Gamecube.

But who will buy their $70 Wii U/Wii ports? :p

They already have Spot dogs that can do fire supression. But they need the mechanical arm that the newer revisions introduced.
