If only there was something they could have done to prevent this!!!

The problem with this solution is that your device will only charge at legacy 5V low power charging. The data pins are used to negotiate charging rates between devices and without this capability the charger will only deliver the known-safe basic low power charging rate.

Everything.

Yes, that’s correct. If you cherrypick data and extrapolate your preferred assumptions about it you can make it say the thing you want.

I just clicked the first installer script in Lutris and two minutes later was playing.

A strike would be fascinating. You can’t just stop a chip fab. There could be huge batch losses.

I’m absolutely certain they will comply immediately.

This is what the end of an empire looks like. Nations that used to line up to kiss the ring are just politely declining your requests now. In a few months they’ll just send the call to voicemail.

Good job, idiots.

They’ve learned that most people are apathetic enough to just take it as long as they roll it slowly enough.

An absolutely based strategy would be to launch a highly anticipated product with falsely constrained supply. Then right as the scalpers start posting their shit release the real supply with like a $10 price reduction and make a big announcement. Scalpers get rekt when everyone who wants one can get it for $10 less.

Systems that abuse everyone and claim to be for our protection. The more things change the more they stay the same.

No, it’s the opposite. It’s the USA.

Exactly.

Joke’s on you, my eyes are the only part of me that isn’t naked right now.

Logarithmically scaled image. I’ll leave the determination of the base of the Log as an exercise for the viewer.

I’ve always been in favour of tiered consumption taxes. Basic neccessities of life aren’t taxed. Sorta nice stuff gets taxed a bit. Uber lux stuff and harmful stuff gets taxed all the fucking way.

Example: bus pass? Free. Subcompact cheap EV? 20% tax. Lambo? 300% tax.

Rich fuckers have way too many ways of getting out of paying income tax. Tax the stuff instead so that you can’t live like a rich person without paying the kind of taxes rich people should be paying.

For all the Evangelicals swooning over your “Pro-Life” president: he ain’t.

Well then I guess you had better get good instead of repeatedly shoving garbage into a touchscreen and calling it a feature.
