Seems like a poor design decision. The portables can be charged from either MagSafe or USB-C. You would think this would use similar circuitry where one power input would be ignored while the other was connected.

So tired of these claims being recycled every slow news day. It’s such total bullshit. There are so many safeguards in place to prevent stuff like this from happening.

Not sure that The Rock is worth that kind of money. I guess those annoying commercials Kevin Hart does pay well.

It was a cop out. Let’s all meet at the church and kum ba yah.

No pay off and few answers after all those seasons.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

That display had some cool features that were underutilized — like an s-video port for video camera capture. Also some of the best sound to come out of an Apple monitor.

But I don’t know that I would call this a”console”.

I never understood the choice to put a flowchart on the front of this one. 😆

Why does there have to be just one? So many consoles are awesomely designed and reflect their eras well. I’m partial to colecovision and the Intellivision II. The redesign of the intellivision had an entire suite of peripherals to match the new design, including a musical keyboard.

Sounds like investment fraud. I wonder if anyone will bother to sue? Can’t advertise something as “green” if it involves coal mining.

Thinking about how sweltering hot it would be to march in a suit and tie. Thankful for these people.

Tim needs to hurry up and retire.

States have “official” everything. It’s a waste of time and taxpayer money.

Google has such potential, but their management structure just ruins everything. I wish they would be broken up into multiple companies. Then maybe at least some of their products and creativity would be allowed to thrive.

Chick Fil A. Fuck you and your anti-gay, fake Christian bullshit.

Same for Hobby Lobby.

Word of mouth can make or break a film, even without a marketing budget.

I don’t get how posting films to Youtube is some sort of miracle of film preservation. WBD owns multiple streaming channels — why not just post them there?

It wasn’t always that way. When it started, Amazon had some neat ideas like having customers vote on pilot TV shows to indicate which ones should go to series. A lot of the pilots they didn’t pick up were pretty good.

They also bought the rights to the Expanse novels and did a great job making them into different TV seasons. They even took chances on some interesting shows like “The Peripheral” and “Moonhaven”.

The enshittification of Amazon Prime likely has a lot to do with paying for Bezos’ big budget pet projects like “wheel of time” “and Lord of the rings” sucking the funding out of other projects. I expect with the Bond franchise purchase, this will just continue to be a problem. Even with as much money as Amazon, there’s only so much you can throw around.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but there’s always the risk of overexposure/backlash. Doubly so when you start seeing the same actors play five different superhero leads.

I also worry about a performer’s well being when they start showing up in just about everything. On top of the performance, they have to do talk shows and press junkets which can be brutal. Take some of that money you are making and spend it on a nice break and vacation for a change.

Oh look, it’s Pedro Pascal again. Dude is showing up in as many shows as Nicole Kidman these days.
