roadkill

Holy shit... it's a large dot matrix plasma display. Haven't seen one of those in ages.

That project has pictures that show you how they looked/worked.

next week I’m finally going to get an AMD card and get rid of nvidia for good!

Replaced my 1080Ti with a 6700 XT when it was on sale. Couldn't be happier. All of my wake from suspend issues disappeared.

Still using the same garbage nVidia drivers in PopOS as you would with any other distro.

My tub came with a clicker stopper.

First thing I did was replace it with one of these: https://i.imgur.com/DBEGZsR.jpeg

Total cost: $3.99

Works better, too.

In hindsight...

How it was all reported in the media, commented on... was pretty fucking gross. Especially since the kid who made the allegations admitted to lying.

Nothing was held back on for the court of public opinion. Police statements amounted to "We found creepy dolls that only can be used for grooming..." "He had [this] because [he's definitely that]..." Later on the same police were caught giving adult magazines from the raid to one of the kids they claimed Michael molested... several months AFTER the raid... and then bagged the magazine for fingerprints. The way everything was handled, even if generously... we could admit that Michael was a bit of a kooky freak... the way the raid, reporting on evidence gathering (and apparent manufacturing of it) and prosecution was handled, that part of it seemed straight up corrupt.

There was always a tinge of ick about it all.

At best, Michael was a deeply damaged person who did whatever he could to cope with the loss of his childhood and... we'll never know what truly happened at the Ranch.

"evidence found at neverland ranch" turns up a lot of results, admittedly, with far too much commentary and speculation describing "must have been used for..." rather than what may actually have been the case.

For first party stuff, Nintendo launches finished games

This wasn't true for several Nintendo games. Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing and Zelda:Tears all required day one downloads.

Unfortunately there is a fair number of games with a physical release that require downloads to be playable as they are not complete on the cartridge.

Not always true: Not all physical copies contain full copies of the game and will require downloads before the game can be played.

Animal Crossing being a prime example. Mario Kart 8 requires 4.4 GIGABYTES to be downloaded before the game is playable. There have also been cart revisions where earlier versions of the game were complete on the cart... and newer versions of a cart were partial and required downloads as a cost saving measure.
