Also, the fissile material has been radioactively decaying for decades and should no longer be refined enough to go critical.

I wonder if online multiplayer mods could be made for multiplayer games.

Goodwill is particularly bad about this. You can almost never find cool stuff in the stores anymore. It's all siphoned off for ShopGoodwill.

It was definitely one of my luckiest finds, but I think another part of it was that it was a pay by weight bin outlet. A St. Vincent De Paul in my case. Stuff isn't individually priced and you weigh your items on a scale when you check out and pay by the pound. It's usually very cheap because mine has a maximum of $5.00 per item so even heavy things like typewriters have been cheap.

I much prefer bin outlets because of this.

My daily driver laptop is the T410 I found at a thrift store for $5.

You could build one yourself for a fraction of the price with a trip to your local home improvement store. Even starting without tools, it would be cheaper.

Exactly, 10% of a billion dollars is one hundred million. That's more than enough to live a cushy stress free life without ever working again if you're not an idiot blowing it all on dumb shit.

That puts you in the same net worth bracket as a lot of celebrity actors and musicians.

Completely fan made engine replacement for Daggerfall in Unity! Mod support!

I don't pay for Nitro but I don't have a problem for people that do. Servers aren't free so it's that or ads.

I'm still rocking my Galaxy S8. Gonna use it till the battery is toast.

I'll get occasional hangups and stuff but it's definitely useable still.

I rescued a 2010 Macbook Pro from a recycling dropoff and the previous owner did not wipe it. They had an Excel file with all their logins in it. Bank accounts and all.

I'm most of the way through act 3. I have a 3080ti and it's still pretty smooth for me. I'm maxed out at 1440p with DLSS on quality.

Google ran Youtube at a loss for years to draw everyone in and now that there's no real competition (yet), are tightening the screws. Very similar to how Walmart will sell stuff at a loss to bankrupt locally owned stores and then raise their prices.

Exploitive megacorporation can pound sand. It wasn't a bad experience back when it was a single short ad before every video. Now I've had a wonderful ad free experience for years because of ad blockers. Why would I downgrade the experience and pay for it?

The CIA and NSA are exactly who we don't want using it though.

Airbake pans are the shit. Eliminates the need for double panning.

Originally it would have come with an aluminum stylus but you could use a pen. It's not recommended to use a pencil because of the risk of breaking off graphite inside.

I personally use an old Nintendo DSi stylus I had lying around.

Yes, it's been known for a while how useless they are. The FBI had undercover agents smuggle explosives through TSA checkpoints and they succeeded most of the time.

2G is dead in most places

The 3DS had an ARM9 processor on the board which is what the DS line used so that it could play DS games natively.

The DSi actually has an ARM7 coprocessor (GBA CPU) just like the DS and DS Lite but lacks the physical cartridge slot. You can play GBA games natively on a hacked DSi.

Actually, the 3DS has an ARM7 core too so it can play GBA games natively as well. Either the Nintendo Ambassador titles, or whatever you want if you've installed CFW.

Battery technology will be improved. Look at how much better today's lithium ion batteries are than the NiCad batteries of the 90s.

At some point, we'll develop something that doesn't wear out for tens of thousands of charge cycles.
