I have a switch emulator on my pc. Ones for other consoles too. Don't see much added value in a physical console, since I need a reasonably powerful PC for work anyway.

I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.

It's a MX Master 2S, funnily enough. I still have a over 10 year old working M705 Marathon, on second thought, that I had once bought for my laptop. Had to open it up and bend the mechanism for the left click back into shape once, but no Problems besides.

True. Grindr as a corporation still sucks, though.

Uh, what would I be paying for, exactly? I don't really see what Software support a mouse really needs, as long as it doesn't ship buggy. Also, I've been using my (Logitech, funnily) mouse for 6 years now, and if you ignore the few scratches it has gathered, it still works pretty much perfectly.

Also, if their solution for a longer lasting mouse really is repairability, isn't that just their way of saying "we designed our other products to be thrown away"?

Wasn't one of the points of the book that the Voight-Kampff might not necessarily be infallible?

Well, if you take 44 Billion and offer each instance owner a piece, I'm sure most wouldn't necessarily say no.

To support our independent journalism, buy our reasonably priced fentanyl.

Are you mocking my efforts of pasting random links into an app and pressing a button? Appalling.

They do very little visually interesting stuff with their normal news coverage, but their special reports tend to be quite visually interesting.

Oh, also, you're welcome. If I do come across something I find interesting I generally try to remember to post it to lemmy, because I feel that we really can use the content.

I think that assuming that editorial decisions are never influenced by financial interests would be naive, but they're such a big organisation that covers such a breadth of topics that it would also seem foolish to assume a douplicitous intent behind every story. It might just be journalist covering a currently relatively widely discussed topic.

Also, Reuters generally does quite well in remaining relatively neutral in their coverage (though that impression might of course just be based on my biases).

Well, producing illegal drugs seems to be generally rather high risk, high reward. You'd also need a lab, possibly employees, a distribution network, and might encounter potentially rather violent competition, though, so I'd say there might be a few more cost centres other than the raw materials.

I mean, we all knew it was quite easy, but I still think that it's journalistically valuable to go through with it to see, and show how easy it actually is.

Would you link one? Because the only things I know of are the small coral accelerators that aren't really comparable, and specialised data centre stuff you need to request quotes for to even get a price, from companies that probably aren't much interested in selling one direct to customer.

Everything at work worked. Public transport worked. Ordering groceries and paying with my card worked.

Which sucks. I could have used a free day.

Yeah, I thought the article was fine, though. Writer is more tech focused, editor seems more business focused, and the editor is usually responsible for the headline.

I honestly don't see much difference between this stance and saying that the years of oppression by Israel justify the attacks by hamas.

I think the only thing we can do here is agree that we very fundamentally disagree.

Yeah, the thing is, it seems like it's not "oh no, they're using human shields, we can't blow them up", but more like "human shields? Oh well, load the bombs."

The atrocities commited by hamas in no way justify the atrocities commited under the leadership of the Israeli government, doubly so since an organised military force with a clear chain of command is quite different from a group of extremist militants.

I mean, I dunno how things are on your side of the pond, but here this would preclude a contract that is more expensive for otherwise equal condition, usually meaning a higher total cost of ownership.

I also tend to throw on a custom rom anyway - my four year old midranger is on the current version of Android. More and more devices also tend to get supported for longer, so that's worth considering.

Also, out of date and brand new have gotten more and more meaningless for smartphones. I've got a processor fast enough to run everything I do seamlessly, a nice and sharp display, and a battery that lasts me a day. That's about the same I'd have with a current flagship.

I mean, it's your call, and I don't really care what kind of phone you use, I just don't think it's quite as black and white as you paint it.

400 might have been a bit much. You can get a refurbished Pixel 7a for a bit over 300€ around here, and that should last you for quite some years.

I'm currently on a four year old phone that was 400€ back then, though I fear the USB Port might not be long for this world, which would force me to upgrade - it's soldered and rather hard to replace.
