I don’t, mostly the surveys will always show that consumers want whatever the CEO was thinking about doing.

That aside though even taking this one at face value I have a really hard time believing that people care. Like how petty do you have to be to not want people on a PlayStation to be able to play the same game as you? It doesn’t make any sense to me just from a human perspective.

But even more they’re both just PCs with a fucking logo slapped on them, which was done specifically so that they would be easier to develop for and so companies would put their games on multiple consoles. If Xbox wants to be more exclusive then they should go back to having more exclusive hardware like using Power PC processors again.

So this is what came of that clearly rigged survey from a few months ago where apparently a whole bunch of people still want exclusives on consoles for some reason? I was wondering why they did that.

No, not “and replace the damn things with ones that don’t get fucked after only a few months of use.” They replaced them with them same things.

Also the Switch came out 9 years ago…

The World Wide Web was never built for this, the Internet is just the physical network that connects it and everything else that’s online.

Wait until you find out how they used to fit shoes…

I once saw a working coffee cup with a built in terp pen so I think that technology has existed for a while. Not to be confused with the cauldron/cup vapes that are all the rage right now.

This left vs liberal bullshit really needs to stop. The only people I have ever heard complain about architecture of housing projects are rich people.

Should be all you need.

My parents are on Facebook every day and so are their friends. I’m pretty sure Facebook is what happened to all the Gen Xers.

Wax paper generally works pretty well for transporting stickers and tape.

When I was a kid my state had yearly inspections, but that was stopped like 25 years ago. Occasionally you still see one of the green stickers on the windshield of an old car.

Well there’s always going to be penny pinching and greed, but because each team‘s job is singular and siloed, their success or failure is based on their only job. So there is a separation of pride. The launch team’s only job is to launch the rocket, they have no vested interest in the mission or how well it was built. So a cost saving move that would help the mission but hinder launching the rocket isn’t one that would be made by the launch team.

That being said, nothing says that this won’t change as soon as more privatization happens in this sector.

Fun fact: the Shuttle was intended to have ejection capabilities, they were removed by the request of the Department of Defense. They provided extra funding for the Shuttle on the stipulation that it reach very specific orbits including a polar orbit that was only achievable by an extreme weight reduction. In fact later Shuttles also had to be modified to even make it to the ISS with a valuable amount of cargo. Columbia, the first Shuttle to fly to space, was always too heavy to make it to the ISS. The reason this happened is the president at the time, Jimmy Carter if I remember correctly, made some interesting and specific threats about their own capabilities to the Russians. These modifications were to make good on those threats.

Luckily in this case, the people who build the rocket aren’t allowed to launch them for this very reason. Even NASA has a completely different team of people who launch rockets (in Florida) than who build them (Alabama, Mississippi, and others) or run the mission (Houston).

The actual launch range is run by the Space Force and they have the final say on when and where you can launch and where you can’t be during launch (officially called an exclusion zone).

Seems to be missing some ports I distinctly remember, like USB B, IR, mini Toslink, dual PS/2, dual e-SATA/USB A, powered USB A, mini coax, BNC, and a few others. Not to mention proprietary crap like HP LifeDrives.

Edit: Mini and Micro HDMI also missing.

Thanks! But $500 is still more than I can afford right now. I almost got one when they had the refurbished LCD model for like $280 or whatever it was but I couldn’t even swing that at the time.

Edit: Wow, at least one person on there has their 64 gig LCD model listed for $900…

For me the touchpads are one of the big selling points. I see what you mean by the only $200 difference offering an entirely newer processor and screen, but I honestly don’t know why they would’ve done it with only a tiny touchpad on one side.

One question I immediately have though, because it took me a minute to even find the Legion go S and there are apparently two different versions of it (2025 & 2026), is how much is valve style support worth? Even though Lenovo is my go to for prebuilt machines right now, I’m not sure I trust them with $1000 handheld over the amount of time that the steam deck has existed.

I’m curious what exactly you mean; Like are you saying it’s just too expensive for what it is or too old or what?

I always wanted one of the white Steam Decks, but I have yet to be able to afford one regardless of color. Now it looks like I never will.

In 18 months I have had 2 interviews out of hundreds of jobs applied, one of which ghosted me after the interview and the other relisted the job the next day…
