Not gonna get those minerals now, Trump. Either Ukraine deals them to someone else, or Putin claims them for himself.

Correct, except that more people buying used laptops will incentivize people to upgrade more often as they can depend on a strong secondhand market to recoup some of the cost of the new one by selling the old one.

I just tell it to back up my laptops every hour anyway. If it’s not on, it just doesn’t happen, but it’s generally on enough to capture what I need.

Was he ever not going to do this? I mean, Trump definitely put a big old stamp of approval on it, but it seemed like this was the Yahoo’s plan from the beginning.

Aspartame gives me headaches. Like “I can’t interact with people” headaches. I’ve tried it a few times and it’s always directly afterwards.

That said Stevia gives me a reaction like I had 5x the same amount of sugar, so I just have to remember if I’m adding it to something don’t use much or I’ll be hyper and then crash terribly. But at least I don’t get headaches.

Sugar gives me no problems if I have it in moderation. I generally drink water, but if I have a soda, I have one and I’m done. It’s a treat, not a way of life. Drink water people, it’s actually good for you.

I’ve used it the last few years to do Advent of Code (https://adventofcode.com/) and that’s been fun and challenging. Definitely recommend it. Better than trolling through a book of “now do this” examples if you’ve done other languages in the past.

While I agree with that math, I feel like if they add the virtual console, they could capitalize on the purchase of third party developer games that they can’t license for subscriptions for the current model. Maybe they’ll go with a blended approach, where some games are based on the sub and there are others that are up charges or purchases as well where they take a bit off the top when selling older games for the virtual console.

La la la, I can’t hear you!

Sadly, the deteriorating conditions are exactly what some groups want. Those are also the ones who can affect change, either with guns or money.

“$9-million” shouldn’t that be at least a “b” instead of an “m”?!

For other potentially worse manufacturers. I hate how far it’s all gone, but even buying a used/secondhand device is empowering the prior own to support one of these manufacturers.
