  • I mean, sure? But the organization named themselves after what they planned on doing, which was training seeing eye dogs.

    So a less interesting way of saying it is that they're the first organization that wanted to train seeing eye dogs, and they named themselves after what they planned on doing.

  • I thought it was 90%, but baybe it is 80. If you leave it plugged in while asleep all the time you may still be charge cycling to max capacity a lot, which is bad for the battery, though.

    Regardless, having to replace the battery every few years isn't terrible, except for the price of like $85 is damned expensive for it.

  • If he understood batteries he probably wouldn't have left it plugged in all the time. That wouldn't be an issue unless he always left it in sleep mode, so it would short charge cycle every other day.

  • Also cool that for a period of like 60 million years, nothing decomposed dead trees. As they would die or fall over, they'd just stay there, piling up. This is where most oil came from. The massive amounts of trees stacking up before bacteria and fungus evolved to decomposed them. Imagine 60 million years worth of trees just lying around.

    *Thought I'd add an edit, since this post got quite a few eyes on it: It was mostly coal that all those trees turned into. Not oil.

  • Yep. Usually the only PS3 issue that happens is when the drive wears out, eventually. I think that turns into a big issue because 8 believe the drive is "paired" to the PlayStation, so you'd have to move over the control board on the drive to the replacement drive. If you don't swap those you have to do a bunch of custom firmware bullshit.

  • Fakespot became defeated years ago and became useless on Amazon.

    The best method I've had is to ignore any off brand looking product that's been for sale for less than a couple months, but has tons of reviews, and when I pick something, sort the reviews by newest first and read those ones.

    Usually the most paid reviews and fake reviews are close to when a product first starts selling. If the thing has been for sale for a little while, odds are that the most recent reviews are mostly from real people. Also, sometimes they will sale a higher quality item the first few weeks it's for sale, and then start selling the item with cheaper parts on the inside. Like earbuds with good innards getting swapped out for cheaper drivers and processors.

  • I know exactly the cause of this. The 360 got a bad rep because of the red ring of death fiasco bricking the consoles. All because of a few design flaws, mostly around the processors assembly that took them quite a while to figure out the cause of, and even longer to do anything about.

    Then the even bigger nail in the coffin of Blu-ray beating out HD DVD, and a PS3 being pretty much the cheapest blu ray player you could get.

  • Yeah, inflation is a thing. But so is increasing volumes in sales with low cost distribution of the product.

    After a game is made now, the only cost is distribution now, and games sell in larger volumes than ever before, making more money than ever before. A game like BL4? Even if they spent $300,000,000 making the game they only need to sell 6,000,000 copies to recoup costs at $70. BL3 has sold 18,000,000 copies. A huge profit, even if most of those sales were on sale prices. BL3 was made and advertised with a 140 million dollar budget.
