As someone who had to wrangle teams of people for World of Warcraft raids, known as herding cats, seeing thousands of cats all going different directions is really pretty on brand. Also, was the queen of the universe Bea Arthur? Because that's acceptable. Her or Betty White.

Nooooo. They kept her in our gene pool!!!!!

By default, phones should not be locked at all. No matter the carrier or plan. Now, I DO perfectly understand and am fine with a locked phone under a contract discount/monthly discount plan. If they're giving you the phone in exchange for a term service, this is reasonable. It's not like they...

Nah. It's built directly in, and has been for the better part of the last decade. Rakuten owns Overdrive/Libby. You can even borrow the books directly from inside the Kobo reader, but it is kludgy; so I usually do the borrowing and searching from the Libby app on my phone then sync and open it...

Especially since, as far as TV OSes go, the LG WebOS and that "magic remote" they have is by far the best one out there, UI-wise.

Dunno why you got so downvoted. You not only proved the point (a did so without actually doing anything nefarious), but this is pretty much what the internet was made for. There is a reason that any legit QR Code scanner app shows you the data BEFORE you go to the link. Of course, the average...

Eh. The LJ5 series was just about as good. And the 4000's are absolute UNITS. The 5 series just wasn't as popular as the 4 series, mostly because they weren't that much different to warrant the cost, they weren't on the market that long, and some of the 4xx models didn't have a 1:1 replacement...

While it had other places, the most common thing WAS its use in cars. While maybe Bill Gates didn't get his 30%, nor the street cred to go along with it, there was an absolute TON of cars that used Windows CE for their stereo units. Millions of Ford vehicles from 2007 and up, all the way until...

Of course they did. They had to run out the contract with Netflix to be able to put it up on their service. I was being a bit tongue in cheek with that remark, but at the same time, it was (and still is) one of the primary reasons people left Netflix. I don't get your point about them already...

Remember when Netflix was $12.99 and had content from most of the major providers all in one place so you didn't' have to google who had the stream? Pepperidge Farm remembers. And to everyone that dropped Netflix and signed up for Disney+, etc.... Screw you. This is all YOUR fault.

From what I understand, the retroactive application of the new fees to already existing licenses of the software (as I have heard to be the case) was an ever larger slap to their trust level than anything else.

Gonna miss seeing the Volition sign on their offices downtown. I didn't realize they started as Parallax Software though. I wonder, were they still based in Champaign IL back then before they became Volition? I don't know where they used to be headquartered before the "new" building was put up...

I get not including in the advertised pricing things you can't know before hand, such as taxes, or rental for the cable boxes. Although, the cost per box should be disclosed upfront. I mean, they aren't going to know if you need one, or four devices. If the device is required, the listed price...

Same here, but for me it was Sonic 1 and Super Mario World at Target. (And a little bit of RC ProAM for the NES at Sears...)

It predates USB PD, I do believe. Either way, it is their own standard that started with the 6T. And it's incredible. I had a 6T and traded in my 7Pro last year for a Pixel6. I beat that 7Pro to death. I used the storage a lot, and the NAND started to have issues, so the phone got to the point...

Agreed. I picked up an open box S6 lite (the 2022) on a holiday sale at Best buy for $213. At that price, it's an absolute gem of a tablet. Even came with the S Pen.

Instead of doing touch, because, TOUCH IS 2023!... I think a more tactile version of the old IBM ThinkPad eraser would make for a good implementation of this. You could even put two of them in for each side, and bet good money it would be a lot cheaper to implement

Small nitpick, but the ROKR was the name of the phone with iTunes, and it wasn't a flip. It was just a rebadge of another model with different software. Later on they did release a RAZR that had iTunes as well, but the model was just something like the RAZR V3i, if I remember correctly, but...

I miss reading the comic pages articles about the fail show that was their attempts to sue people. On the other hand, I lost about 60lbs from not having a reason to eat so much popcorn...

Man, I tell you. 2020 lock down didn't phase me one bit. I was like, "I now have a socially acceptable reason to not see anyone?" And everyone I knew was all, "I gained like 50lbs from lockdown." Dood, I LOST 60lbs over that year. Eating mostly ramen....
