The other issue is that people who plan to retire at x year will fucking riot if it turn into y year. I’m one of them.

I’ve only ever really liked the original 2 isometric ones, and Vegas. The Bethesda ones are boring.
No but content owners could directly DMCA stuff that’s hosted on usenet, they just don’t.
They absolutely do, which is why the vast, vast majority of content is obfuscated, necessitating the use of indexers.
Depends on the seat. I’ve bought some that lasted 10yrs (previous kid). The one in this instance was a 5yr cheaper one.
Yes. And using an expired seat with your child is against the law (and obviously unsafe), and the fine isn’t small.
Bought a car seat for my toddler. Opened it, manufactured date was 4 years ago! That is, it would EXPIRE in 4mo.
So, I go to return it, and the returns counter guy said they don’t take care seat returns and that it’s not defective! Got absolutely nowhere with him, ended up having to go to a different location and the person there had kids and understood the issue. Ugh.
Early-mid 90s.
The latter years of the NES, the entirety of the 16-bit console era (SNES/Megadrive [“Genesis”]), the golden age of PC adventure games & the dawn of multimedia (CD-ROM based games & talkies).
Just before the release of Doom, where FPS took over; and the PSX/N64, where (bad) 3D was teh hotness; is where it’s at for me – likely why I love my MiSTer FPGA so much.
There’s precedent: MLB Lockout. No ball games on TV, people found other things to do.
It took years to recover.
You assume, incorrectly, that people will always care about said professional teams/sports.
A lot of the “care” is in the communal activity of watching a game together with one’s mates. Take the convenience of that away, and people will find something else to do.
The leagues won’t survive if paywalls go up. Watching your team “for free” via OTA broadcast TV is how they got so big in the first place. CBC’s HNIC was huge. More and more, if there are barriers to watching something, many people prior just won’t bother.
Fair enough. Took me a while to convince my buddies otherwise (judge me all you want, American makes great grilled cheese)
extruded plastic masquerading as a dairy-like substance
I assume that you’re referring to Kraft singles, or “American” cheese: It’s just cheese, dude; mixed with a chemical (sodium citrate) to help it bind to water. The FDA refuses to allow it to be called cheese, due to the percentages involved (it’s literally mostly water). Regardless, no plastic after you take the wrapper off.
The Montreal-based chemist/YouTuber NileBlue made American cheese recently in a video.
Meanwhile, there’s people in that landlocked province who want sovereignty from the rest of Canada. Go try to drink your oil.
Android has root, you just gotta put in a little bit of work, and give up your Google App goodies like RCS chat and Pay. (you can get them working too, but Google’s getting better at detection/blacklisting spoofed device fingerprints making it a cat and mouse pain)
I found it to be less of a headache to just embrace transcoding. Buy a refrub SFF PC with an 8th gen or better Intel CPU, and enable QuickSync in Jellyfin.
I prefer it that way; my wife is like you. Classic espresso with the darker roasted and more bitter profile is not pleasant to me, but my wife will say it’s perfect; and what I like, she can’t stand.
It’s as if different taste palettes exist…
No kidding? Didn’t think it was possible anymore. I have that exact model, gotta look into it – the homescreen ads drive me insane (and wifey won’t let me just buy a Shield).
Most YouTubers aren’t actually tech literate?! Say it ain’t so! /s
That’s not entirely true. If you have a really old firestick on a really old firmware in a drawer somewhere, there was a way to flash a custom Android build on them way back. That’s long been patched out, though.
I think the larger content creators will push back against this, precisely due to the timestamp issue.
