Ah, Capcom U.S.A. Inc. v. Data East Corp. 2: Electric Boogaloo?

Like Hunk Hongan

Well, at least the people behind Commodore are passionate (in fact they acquired the trademark just four months ago…) and the distribution can be downloaded free of charge. They mostly sell merch, but they also have the Commodore 64 Ultimate which is basically a C64 implemented via FPGA. Their distribution also comes with its own BASIC.

I have no connection to the C64, but this seems a lot more friendly than a lot of other companies that just try to cash in on Nostalgia.

There is no effect that can be generated that could unboggle it

Mind = boggled

It’s not juice because juice needs to be 100% fruit extract without additives, not even water, so that certainly isn’t juice. The question is, how would you call something that looks like milk, tastes like milk (there is no universal milk taste anyways as it tastes different or mammal and their feed) and is used in the same circumstances for the same things as milk?

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it really helpful to go “ehm actually this isn’t a duck”? What is the point of such a distinction?

Great job missing the point

You’re looking at a specific niche within vegetarian / vegan products and argue that the aim of that specific niche (imitating meat) applies to all of the products? There are lots of those. But I don’t want to eat cereal with water, hence “oat milk” makes sense if you don’t want to contribute to animal exploitation. I don’t know why it’s so hard to understand for some people that you might like the taste of something yet don’t agree with the ethics behind it and then being this non-argument.

I was just at it-sa where Synology had a booth and they put the news that certified drives are no longer required on a screen next to certified drives. I was somewhat surprised this requirement ever existed. I guess that happens when you think you’re more important than you actually are.

God I hope they go bankrupt from this stupid greed. Certified drives for an expensive consumer grade stack. When I wanted a NAS and liked at their options, I always found them to be either overpriced or functionally lacking compared to an old PC of mine. Finally switched to an Odroid H4 Plus in the end. Not paying premium for a fancy case where the manufacturer decides which drives you can put into…

Well, these schemes work differently in other places, e.g. in Germany, once you sell any brand of single-use deposit (like cans), you’re obligated to also take back any, regardless of whether you sell that particular brand. It’s different for reusable bottles (which makes sense since these need to be returned for cleaning, refilling and relabeling) but single use is all or nothing

Yeah a couple of ROMHacks actually require you to do this (mostly puzzles)

The same thing that the G in GNU stands for

Einfach alle drei Minuten Syu machen wie normale Menschen

under the grass?

Possibly next to the mother of his children? He would never allow to be buried there

I have one but never used it (probably since 20 years at this point), what is the diagnosis?

I bought it back when I was a low rank in the forces as I imagined it could be useful for these single page instructions that you sometimes carry with you. However it was never really needed

I think an Apple machine will set you back slightly more than a League capable Windows 11 machine

Yeah, this wasn’t about whether they’re screwing the customers - they are - but about whether this has any negative financial implications for them

Lol yeah the naming was incredibly bad. But I’m pretty sure it was 360 -> one -> series. I only owned the original one (not the One one) and a 360 which luckily was unaffected by RRoD.

I think the 360 was really good all things considered, it was a good console at the time and MS actually helped getting smaller studios their stuff into the store with summer of arcade. It also captured a lot of interest from third party studios. All in all pretty solid. Damn shame that the RRoD tainted the console so much.

Segmenting the market after into S and X was a really dumb move in my opinion. The other one was trying to turn it into an entertainment machine instead of a game console (TV, TV, TV, sports…)

unless you’re running one of the Enterprise/IoT SKUs…

That is the whole point. They’re squeezing the users they don’t give a shit about. But personal users almost never buy Windows licenses from Microsoft I’d bet. So what if they switch away? And how are they or their kids going to play Fortnite or League after switching?

The money for Windows non-Enterprise is made with OEM deals. They probably wouldn’t even notice if nobody bought personal licenses anymore. Might as well make actual money from selling data about them.

Enterprise is a different story, once you squeeze too hard, companies will find ways to replace you; they are somewhat resilient to pain, but it does have limits.

Just because it doesn’t offer features a database has doesn’t mean people aren’t trying to use it as one

I support your argument, but unfortunately there are some real monstrosities out there that have carried small businesses since decades
