This isn’t from personal experience because its reputation is so bad I avoided it entirely, but apparently Mass Effect 3. The fan backlash was so strong they apparently had to retcon the ending, LOL!

(You know it’s bad when it’s infamous enough to warrant its own Wikipedia article.)
That’s exactly what makes wood better, though: the bacteria gets drawn into the board via capillary action and then dies when it dries out.
Democracy relies on transparency and verification, not trust. Any government official who tries to keep secrets from the public is an enemy of the People.
Sony could have imposed a fee to unlock Other OS
No, that’s extortion, which is also a crime.
First of all, I think every “pay to unlock the capabilities of the hardware you already bought” is literally criminal (and by “literally” I mean “actually literally, not figuratively, and the FTC is failing to do its job by not prosecuting it”) no matter how much it gets normalized. Second, in this particular case it was unlocked from the get-go by default, so Sony would’ve had to forcibly lock it first and then try to charge for it, which would’ve been somehow even more blatantly criminal!
The real alternative here would’ve been for Sony to take the fucking L and comply with the law. They could’ve revised future units to not support OtherOS (as they, in fact, did), but forcibly removing it from units that had already been sold was absolutely beyond the pale and should’ve been stopped.
If the choice is between that and letting Sony defraud its customers by sabotaging their property, then Hell yes, Sony should’ve been forced to charge $1000!
What the fuck is wrong with you that you think Sony’s literal crimes were OK?!
No, what they should’ve done is made Sony eat the losses from its own business screw-up, and send execs to prison for hacking and fraud. Sabotaging people’s property to disable functionality they paid for should’ve been considered a felony violation of the CFAA on a massive scale.
No, “soft skills” are things like being nice and working well with other people. Why the Hell would gamers have that?

How male-dominated is that profession, anyway?
If you’re trying to be true to the “solarpunk ethos,” do you really think this is the last repair you’ll ever do?
I, for one, have never regretted letting a ‘one time’ project be an excuse to get a new type of tool.
(Just don’t get the disposable UV light another reply mentioned; that really is a bit wasteful. If you decide to go the UV glue route, get an inexpensive but proper standalone UV flashlight.)
Amazon sells a lot of illegal shit. That doesn’t mean it’s okay; that just means law enforcement isn’t doing its goddamn job.
I was confused by the perspective on this one. That first panel looks kinda like “attack of the 50 foot woman.”
I have a Pinephone, but my problem with it was always the software, not necessarily the hardware. (Maybe it’s slow too, but it’s hard to tell when it hardly does anything to begin with.)
I haven’t really touched it in a year or so, but if the software is better now then I think it would fulfill the role of “cheap, used Linux phone [k0e3] can tinker with” just fine.
Nah, that’s just liberal apologia. Hillary and Harris failed on the lack of merit of their platforms, not their gender.
Watch out for them immediately contracting with Axon instead, which is just as bad.
They have a “help wanted” tag; maybe that’s their equivalent.
Yep. Also, you can tell Youtube doesn’t actually care about stopping slop because if it did, it would take the AI videos down, not just “demonetize” them.
Exchange it until you get one that isn’t destroyed by improper packaging.
For those wondering what could possibly be serious enough to justify that, unfortunately, they don’t say:
Details about the circumstances that led to their medical evacuation have not been disclosed.
I mean, that’s literally what the video we’re discussing is about (starting at 8:34). You did watch it, right? 😜
