You can only license coke now. Obviously it’s too dangerous if you can own it.

These “small government conservatives” have been spineless for so long, it’s hard to remember anyone ever made the claim!

Gamers: just let us buy a physical copy of the game

Rockstar: lol here’s some random swag for $400

Sadly Rockstar knows their market here. This thing will sell out, and the game itself will license like hotcakes.

Side note: you know what is fucking wild about bibles? It’s an amalgamation of some really, really old shit, and despite that, there are numerous copyrighted versions. King James is not one of them, but there are a lot.

They get around being Public Domain by virtue of being “novel translations”, but when you see the differences between them, it seems like largely bullshit.

Tbh I’m not surprised at the cost. I’m more surprised that it isn’t even more expensive given the state of things.

Will I get one? Idk. Maybe. It’s a decent chunk of change, but I’ve still not dived into VR. I had been waiting for this one because I’m sure it plays nicely with Linux, without having to do some hacky shit, and I like it better than the Index.

You’d basically have to repair it the same way it’s built, provided (as the other commenter said) the traces aren’t actually pulled off of the board. If they aren’t, then it’s a matter of soldering that component back in largely the same way it was done at the factory (without the automated machine of course, but by hand with heat and flux). It definitely wouldn’t be easy, but it could be a good learning exercise for the right person.

I figure the 256GB model will be entirely fine, especially with the SD card expansion slot. Pity that you can’t upgrade the storage like the Deck, but oh well.

For the life of me I cannot imagine that anything running locally on the Frame would need enough bandwidth from storage to not be able to run it off of SD anyway. For anything using the emulation layer, it’s sure to be slow enough where one won’t notice. For anything running ARM native, it’s sure to be simple enough that one won’t notice.

Yeah, good point. I’d take a shot at it with the right setup. Nothing to lose.

Yes. This is possible to fix with some skill and some flux.

No reason to crunch numbers anyway. He also said everyone would get a check in the mail from savings generated by DOGE early in the admin. Guess what happened with those.

Anyone still believing this man will believe anything from absolutely anyone. There is no other explanation.

They’ll get it right alongside their DOGE checks. Which are coming any day now. Believe me.

Stop supporting Nvidia. If you don’t see the writing on the wall, you’re part of the problem.

Inb4 the flak from fanboys who think that a $5 trillion corporation is in their best interest: they certainly aren’t in your interests as a gamer, and they’re making money (in part) off of those who have forgotten what gaming is about.

Also inb4: yes, losing some frames to not have to deal with Nvidia’s bullshit is worth it.

Inb4^2: AMD is not a saint. But whataboutism has never fixed anything.

FAFO. Now he can wear his stupidity and gullibility on his sleeve.

To think that the promise and hope and joy and the anticipation of Trump 2016…

Gotta stop you right there, Milo. That wasn’t hope and joy. It was good old fashioned hate put in a nice box to make the Far Right feel like they had a new movement. This outcome was anticipated by anyone with any real knowledge or the most basic critical thinking skills.

If you deny the scientific method because you fear everyone is a shill, you’re probably gonna have a bad time.

Chocolate also kills pets.

If you read the article, you’ll see the authors of the study literally saying that not many conclusions should be drawn from it.

“In this observational work, however, it appears that xylitol has a negative long-term effect on cardiovascular events in the general population. As with all observational studies, causalities are difficult to infer, but this work shows that further studies are mandated into this societally important topic.”

This is important, because the outcome of the study is: we need more studies. It is not that xylitol has been shown to be dangerous, a jump so many comments have made.

There was an observed effect in people who had “high blood levels of xylitol”. But there were few if any other controls:

The researchers also highlighted that the association was independent of underlying factors such as body mass index, hypertension, diabetes and lipid levels, which might predispose people to low-calorie products.

It’s been known for a while that extremely high levels of xylitol can act as a diuretic, but that’s true of a lot of other things, too. That’s also not relevant here. It’s important to not jump to unwarranted conclusions until more proper studies are conducted.

Emperor: “Do it.”

Because of course he does.

2? Rookie numbers. 2 don’t even register for these morons. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Boy these folks really think there’s no upper limit
