I've got an LED bulb so efficient it glows slightly even when it's not plugged in.

Yeah, that's one that doesn't take a lot of lifestyle change either.

Although it'll vary based on how much you drive. My wife drives a tiny car and did under 3000 miles last year, so wouldn't actually make a lot of difference for us. Might as well run it until it keels over, by which time electrics will be even better than they are now. Or enshittified beyond belief. One of the two.

Honestly, I think that's depressingly common the world over.

A Zodiac Killer is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

Yeah, I couldn't get on with it at all. Most games are designed for a right analogue stick, and not having one just kills it.

It's weird how quickly Sony discovered the perfect layout and how little it's changed since.

Analogue triggers are the only really great addition since the original Dual Shock.

The gyro aim on the PS5 (well technically all the way back to the PS3, only not as good) are actually really nice too, but I can count the games that use it on one hand. I've no idea why devs are so adverse to using them.

The PS4/5 touch pad would be OK if it wasn't just used as a giant Select button, because for some reason the actual Select button is now "Share" which literally nobody ever asked for.

Although if you regularly eat a kilo of red meat a day, you should probably talk to your doctor about those blood spots when you wipe your arse.

That's almost certainly the biggest dietary change you can make.

But for overall impact, there's one winner and it's bigger than everything else put together.

Capitalism hates this one weird trick.

There was a post a while ago where someone was explaining that Star Wars was an allegory for the Vietnam war, and the next guy was all "well that's not true, unless the Empire is supposed to be America!"

Like they're so close to getting it, but their brain swats it away before it can become a fully formed thought.

Deshittify, technically.

Our window.

We have created the overconfident intern in digital form.

Musk still upset he never got an invite to Paedo Island.

I'm on VPN so my highest is like 6.

I'm got a 100Mbps upload but nobody wants it through a VPN. 😢

protections we put in place to secure players’ data

The player data that we are required to agree to share with 1643 trusted data partners in order to connect to your service? That player data?

Go fuck yourself, you ghouls.

According to Wikipedia, they started it in 2015 with Beasts of No Nation and stopped in 2018 with Roma.

Lots of others did it during covid though.

The last time I actually enjoyed a cinema was a tiny little place in Iceland that appeared to have two screens, a ticket stand and a snack stand, and had one old guy running between all of them like a novelty act. This is how a cinema should be, not some horrible 12 screen thing showing the same Marvel shite at 20 minute intervals.

We did see Die Hard 4 though, so it wasn't all fun and games. Still it could have been worse. It could have been Die Hard 5...

Mate, this isn't a new church roof.

Your fundraisers are going to want that money back and then some. Forever.

So do we. We just leave them in another country so we don't have to think about them.

Going to be quite a bit heavier than that if you run it on a different CPU architecture though. And even if you're not running on mobile, Apple still opened that can of worms a few years back. Linux too, I guess.

Honestly, I don't mind HTML for a UI. It resizes nicely to fit a large number of devices. It looks pretty much the same no matter what you're running it on. But it should just be that, a UI layer. Otherwise the solution you were looking for was a website, and not a dozen 500MB chunks of Chrome installed around my PC.
