Can’t believe no one has suggested this yet: Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX

Oh I agree they should. Physical game sales are a PITA.

I bet that hardly anyone buys the add on drive and they use that as a reason to completely drop physical media support in the PS6.

E-ink screens aren’t backlit. It’s one of the reasons they are so easy on the eyes. They are front-lit. There are LED’s at the edge of the screen and a light guide on top of the screen that diffuses it onto the e-ink screen. Instead of staring directly into a lightbulb like with LCD the light you see is reflected off the page.

A hacky sack

Dance mat controller for his console/PC

I’m a Mac guy so I’m a bit out of touch with the state of PCs. I know PCs usually are a few years behind technology wise, but I’m kind of surprised they still don’t have bluetooth as standard. The technology is decades old.

Anti-vaxxer / conspiracy theorist.

Same, also autistic. There are very few people I don’t dislike touching me.

It also depends where people touch me. Shake my hand: that’s okay; touching my head/hair, big no. Haircuts are super uncomfortable.

TOS

If you’re using the built in speakers on any device, you deserve the bad audio quality lol.

It’s possible to make good built in speakers. The MacBook Pros sound great, even the new iPads sound way better than you’d ever expect from such a thin device. My 13” M4 iPad Pro even has decent bass, it’s ridiculous.

Is it as good as a stand alone amplifier with two tower speakers? No, of course not. But I’m not bringing those along with me either.

Here (.nl) it’s a minimum of 3 years for the lowest ranking cops (vocational degree), depending on rank/function there is also a 4 year bachelors degree and a 5 year masters.

In a MAME machine maybe, but the original arcade cabinets all have custom hardware.

Yeah, the hardware in a console is mass produced, the hardware in an arcade cabinet is made in relatively small batches. Mass producing something is always a lot cheaper per unit due to economies of scale.

I’ll be available 24/7 when they pay me 24/7.

What if you’re a masochist? Wouldn’t it be better to treat others as they would like to be treated?

I’ve seen 1600+ myself.

I’d say “old” RAID could be dead if you have proper backups and have the ability to replace a defect drive fast in the case uptime is crucial.

RAID and backups serve different purposes. Backups are to prevent data loss, RAID is to prevent downtime in case of hardware failure. They are not interchangeable.

E-books. I read too many books for physical to be practical.

It’s the same in the Netherlands, but the notice period for the employer is always double that of the employee.

Which is weird because I’m not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

Not weird at all. It’s much easier to run fiber in a small town than in a large city. Cities are denser and more crowded. It’s also more crowded underground. In a city you might have to close streets, you need to be more careful when digging because of all the other stuff underground.

All that makes it cheaper and easier to install fiber in small towns or smaller, less dense cities.
