Not very interesting news in my opinion. Lots of companies/CEOs want to acquire other companies.

I find it funny that they call the democrats "coastal elites" and then are so up in arms when the "coastal elites" try and make things less "elite"

Music player, bedside alarm clock/weather info, time lapse camera

could you just have a warning to the user that it appears that their SD card is slow? Feels like that should be doable. We used to get warnings when we'd plug in a USB2.0 device into a USB1.0 port on windows

Didn't mean to get you so riled up, was just expressing an opinion. If you like your Garmin that's awesome I'm happy for you! Most of the cool features you talk about i can get from my smart phone so I don't need that in a watch, but it sounds like we live very different lives and what I need in a wrist watch is not what you need

i personally don't find smart watches interesting or really that useful (to me). I tried out a samsung watch for a while and had fun making my own watch faces but that's about it. Charging it every few days was a pain. I ended up going back to my trusty Casio F-91W. Super thin, 8-10 year battery life, alarm and stopwatch built in. Not much more I need from a device on my wrist.

Switch U

Eh on a tablet display its not like 1280x800 is bad for video. Unless you're a pixel peeper and you hold the display lt;6 inches from your face the quality difference will be negligible

The South Park games are fun, I liked Stick of Truth more than Fractured But Whole but they're both enjoyable and funny if you like that kind of humor

Micro Mages is great. I haven't played it on an original SNES but I have it loaded on my modded Wii outputting a 240p signal to a Sony trinitron. It looks and plays great.

That's not what op was asking for though

I feel ya. Space exploration in general is my jam, why aren't people as excited as me about how there's theoretically more water on some of Jupiter's moons than there is on earth??

Or if I took money from their families to pay for moon missions

That's not how large democracies work, my friend. It's not some dictatorship they can instantly move money around to solve problems with. In fact India spends WAYYYYYY more on welfare than it does on ISRO. It's something like 2 billion USD to 250 billion USD. In fact the problem isn't just money its how its distributed, corruption, etc. If the Indian government decided to defund ISRO and put that money to welfare, it would be a tiny drop in a massive bucket. Defunding ISRO would also have major ramifications on their aerospace industry, many thousands would be out of jobs, those with higher educations would leave the country to find opportunities. Have you looked at how India is doing with abject poverty in the past 20 years? The graphs are all trending down. Is it perfect? absolutely not. Every country could do something better, India has a lot of things it needs to work on. In my opinion, building up its own indigienous space industry is a net positive for India and is not taking money away from poor people.

What I'm getting at is it's so easy to criticize a nation for their faults without looking at the complex socioeconomic and political issues at hand.

You could have a faulty dongle or headphone cable that's causing a short and the phone interpreting that as a button press

The modern Internet is pretty terrible. I use ublock origin and no script to make it bearable. But it does add a lot of tedium when I go to a new site and everything is broken and the site's functionality relies on multiple 3rd party scripts.

Pretty sure its extremely difficult to get out of Afghanistan, especially if you're a woman. In fact I don't think you can unless you're accompanied by a man. I get what you're saying but "getting out" is immensely dangerous

Sequel was not as good but I still enjoyed it

Ingenuity is such a cool little flying machine. Can't wait to see more flying machines on Mars and also other places. I'm especially excited for the Dragonfly mission, a quadcopter on Titan would be incredible

Man I wish I had the foresight. I distinctly remember the game store at my local mall had a bunch of virtual boys in a bargain bin.
