Depending on where it is, $45k may be lower than the yearly salary for someone who would operate it (not including the other benefits like insurance or other costs like workman’s comp). So yeah, could definitely pay for itself in as little as 1 year based on that alone.
I’m still sickened at how easy China got off for literally causing this whole shitshow.
You can say what you’d like about the leaders of countries and regions outside of China, but this all comes back to China as the main source for this avoidable outbreak.
Unless Nintendo decided to go fully digital which is a definite possibility with each new console generation. Both Microsoft and Sony have made it known for quite a while that they want to go fully digital despite the constant pushback from consumers.
I think Nintendo could see value in a fully digital console as well.
My little guy is named Blue as well! My brother named him that for his beautiful blue eyes he had as a kitten, but now has green eyes so the name doesn’t match lol
They do in more quiet ways nowadays. Microsoft Office and GamePass, for example, can only be used on Windows (unless you count the cloud versions that work through the browser).
Then there’s workplaces which most workplaces use Windows. You cannot escape it there.
My workplace is in the process of locking down remote work to where you can’t use Linux for anything anymore. I was looking for a way to remote in using Linux so I could ditch my Windows devices but even that is not going to be an option for me. Defender is enabling that type of stuff more easily in the name of security.
Not surprising when you look at how much they’ve increased their annual park subscription.
And to be honest, I can’t blame them when people keep buying it and they’re still keeping the parks full. I wouldn’t hesitate that they are having a lot of subscribers too and hardly anyone leaves when they increase the price.
Such a shame for the rest of us that don’t want to put up with these price hikes.
It’s a luxury service. It’s not a necessity. If it were a necessity, I wouldn’t blame other customers because everyone needs it. But when you keep giving money to a company who keeps raising the price without doing anything to benefit you, you can’t tell me that’s not enabling these anti-consumerist practices.
Going back to the Disney parks, with the price increases, they have actually taken away benefits like no black out dates, forcing members into reservations, and more. And yet people still pay for this…?
Yeah, it is a shame for the rest of us that don’t put up with this and vote with our wallets because it means nothing.
Muscles being worked too much? Kind of like how your arm aches after writing for a long period of time, could that be the same type of pain?
Or could it be the gases/acid are burning? There are times after I have loose stools that the liquids seem to cause a burning sensation after a while. Is that a similar pain?
Think of all the money Nintendo lost over people playing that custom content that was paying homage to their beloved titles! Man, sure glad Nintendo scared them into taking those down.
Mostly on PC and Xbox One. I got the version for Nintendo Switch but just couldn’t. Its draw distance is horrible and there are glitches that freeze the game and force me to restart it. That combined with my recent “stick drift” issues caused me to give up on it.
I want a version for my Steam Deck, honestly. I wanted something portable besides the iPhone app which isn’t the same.
According to the food-and-drinks maker and one of its executives with knowledge of the deal, PepsiCo was using only 36 of Teslas promised 100 electric trucks as of this month....
I was in an auto parts store yesterday and saw that you can buy a can of that stuff to fix your AC and the damn can has Bluetooth capabilities. So no, we’re still not done putting Bluetooth where it doesn’t need to be.
Oh no, this was strictly for the can to refill your car’s air conditioner liquid…the name is drawing a blank for me what it’s called, exactly.
I’ve seen some of these cans have a digital display on them which I guess this Bluetooth is supposed to replace. But it’s still so weird to me especially because these cans are generally disposable.
On Tuesday, Microsoft Research Asia unveiled VASA-1, an AI model that can create a synchronized animated video of a person talking or singing from a single photo and an existing audio track.

All the damn money they make off GTAO and they still can’t afford to keep employees on…? If it was anyone, it’d be them I’d guess last to do something like this considering they effectively found a money printer off idiots who are cool paying for cosmetic bullshit in an 11 year old game.
I’m taking a long biking trip soon and want to share my live location with my boyfriend in case something happens. Any recommendations for privacy-focused apps that can accomplish this? I’m on Android, he’s on iOS.
Edit: disregard this comment. Learned more about AirTags and this will NOT work if you are on Android. AirTags rely on other iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) and only work with Android in notifying you if one is following you to protect you against being stalked. But they do not have GPS and are incompatible with Android’s Bluetooth, so yeah, sorry. Thought this would be a good idea but apparently I didn’t fully understand how these worked so disregard below.
Since he’s on iPhone, what about you carrying an Apple AirTag that is connected to his account?
To be fair, I don’t know the specifics on battery and the like, but seems like a possible hardware solution given that he’s on iPhone.
There are also other devices that are similar and work with Apple’s Find My network too.
Those fuckers got away so nicely for having such shitty security practices. They have the nerve to ask me to sign up for a paid subscription every time I log in to check my score with them.
Motherfucker, I don’t even want to use your services for free. I’m required to as long as I have to play the credit game and it’s honestly really unfair you get to stay in business and barely got a slap on the wrist for all the shit you caused for millions of people.
Your cat is so freaking cute! I want to give him the biggest hugs.
My cat is in the middle of yours and the OP’s comic. Doesn’t want to be directly held but will want to come near me and lay within my vicinity. If I’m on the bed, he wants to be on the bed. If I’m on the couch, he wants to be on the couch. Just a good distance away that I can’t reach him but I can see and hear him and he has a good area to stare at me.
I’m still on the iPhone X, and the latest models just don’t have any features I’m excited about. I was thinking about what would make a difference to me and I think a really cool feature that would make me upgrade is thermal imaging....
These exist as after market accessories but are usually $200+ USD. While useful for many people, myself included, it’s still not something Apple would think most users would laud over and be willing to pay an extra $200+ for in a general price hike. That plus the fact after market options exist is enough to not warrant them being made on the iPhones for consumers.
I don’t think even Android manufacturers would do this unless the price comes way down or it’s a device designed for industrial use, such as CAT, who has developed mobile devices for construction purposes in the past.
