Kinda disappointed the first print isn’t a calibration cube or a benchy… but this is awesome stuff!

They don’t have asmany sales, but I’ve definitely scored some good prices on games here and there. They often run 20+% off on first party titles and non-first party gets deep discounts (I scored Rabbids for $4 a while back). I just wish they’d do the equivalent of PS Greatest Hits for like $20.

For some situations a console is nicer than a PC. Solid, consistent, single unit I can just connect to a TV and play. I’ve got a PC and I prefer it, but the average console is cheaper than my PC was and simpler for non-geek family members to boot up and play on a whim.

During this time frame (1950->2024)

• higher cost of college
• more people are pushed to go to college
• more jobs require college education
• more pressure on students to pass with high marks
• more high school courses do college prep
• more standardized testing
• more scientific test based education adaptations to make sure kids learn and aren’t left behind

Likely other demographic, family educational backgrounds and other shifts that could alter the grading dynamic as well.

Enter Nintendo. Crappy 9yo SOC, sure, whatever, here are some fun games that aren’t graphically advanced.

We still quote this video nearly daily at work. Luckily I don’t have to deal with mongodb anymore.

Hopefully this is true because I’ve heard from people trying to do just that with other “Smart TVs” that won’t work at all without an internet connection and account at least for initial setup.

July 2024, just barely outside of 10yrs ago.

Honestly, If the cars pass NHTSA regulations, don’t phone home info to China or BYD, and are inexpensive and not just cheap disposable vehicles, bring ‘em in! I want an inexpensive EV for commuting. It’s not crazy far, and I don’t care about bells and whistles. I just want to make it back and forth reliably and in one piece and I feel like that’s a huge portion of the population.

The kind of issues you run into “running the Internet” are not the same as the average desktop user. Most of those systems don’t even have a monitor attached, let alone a whole desktop environment or GUI.

The poop always flows downhill.

And while the AnandTech staff is riding off into the sunset, I am happy to report that the site itself won’t be going anywhere for a while. Our publisher, Future PLC, will be keeping the AnandTech website and its many articles live indefinitely. So that all of the content we’ve created over the years remains accessible and citable.

This is such a big thing. Losing access to content is something we’re seeing en masse and future historians and hobbyists greatly appreciate having historical articles accessible and not lost to the sands of time. I think it would be even better if we could all torrent and archive as well, but accessibility and continued access is appreciated.
