Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

There so many others you can use right now.

You haven’t played any of the previous Sonic racing games I presume?
- Comment on Man in charge of Diablo thinks we should start calling games that he thinks are like Diablo 'Diablo-likes' 3 weeks ago:
Well yeah but we also call anything that’s like Doom a boomer shooter now. So you see, your argument is invalid * tips fedora, vanishes into Cheeto dust *
- Comment on Consumers won’t be offered all three years of extended Windows 10 security updates 1 month ago:
It is amazing how good Microsoft is at milking every product for maximum profit, just because people don’t like the next Windows version. But most will anyway switch at some point.

attempting to deal with the mess that is Windows with their own “Acer Game Space app”.
Ugh.
There’s no price, region availability or release date being shared just yet.
OK. Price will be a massive point to make here. This needs to be ridiculously cheap for people to deal with this game space app that without looking at it, I can already tell must be a pain in the butt.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Quick question, did you get the 512gb or 1tb version? Just wondering about OLED with and without that anti-glare treatment that the 1tb version has. I don’t think I need it since I don’t plan on playing in the bright sun, but thought I ask some random people online who are happy with their purchase which one they got.

Fuck.
- Comment on Even the Raspberry Pi is getting in on AI 6 months ago:
Yeah, at least this is optional and its only happening if the user wants to have it.
- Comment on Binit is bringing AI to trash 6 months ago:
Because that’s how you get big investors on board before you develop nothing, advertise how you have big investors and get yourself acquired before people realise you’ve been spewing more trash verbally than your product can even recycle.
- Comment on The Fairbuds noise-canceling earbuds have an easily swappable battery 8 months ago:
Yeah, you are right. The earbuds would charge them. I was more thinking of replacing others I got in some children’s toys for my kid. I have been trying to avoid anything that uses these cells since they are so expensive and run out quick, but some stuff we got still uses these.
- Comment on The Fairbuds noise-canceling earbuds have an easily swappable battery 8 months ago:
Oof, quite bad reviews. Also would need a charger for those then. But thanks for sharing, didn’t find those previously somehow.
- Comment on The Fairbuds noise-canceling earbuds have an easily swappable battery 8 months ago:
The batteries on that image in the article look like standard button cell type batteries (not sure that’s the correct name for those…). But I never saw any of these that are rechargeable? Are these developed by fairphone? I’d love some rechargeable button cell batteries.
- Comment on Airbnb is banning indoor security cameras 9 months ago:
But now, hosts can’t use indoor security cameras at all. The change comes after numerous reports of guests finding hidden cameras within their rental, leading some vacation-goers to scan their rooms for cameras.
Ha, well having to disclose that there are cameras around didn’t seem to stop them so far. How does banning this practise do anything? If people want to hide cameras they still will do so. Will airbnb now follow this up more drastically?
Airbnb says it will investigate and that it could remove the host’s listing or account as a result.
So in effect unlikely they will remove a host that gets enough guests to lead to good profit for airbnb.

Not 100 percent sure. Season 02 was weaker than 01.
- Comment on ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 to Premiere on Netflix in 2024 10 months ago:
Curious if they are just going to milk it by running the story like Season 01 or if they are continuing the story.

Well of course its tiptoeing around piracy, it is still not accepted as fully legal so why should a mainstream newspaper like this advocate for it?

Nah, just putting on my pirate hat instead.
- Comment on What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for? 1 year ago:
Oh, I was not aware you are into this as a collector, now I feel honored to be able to show you something new!
I live in Europe, not the UK though, so maybe that explains why these are familiar to me. Although another user said they saw one in Ohio.

Well, cannot be wall-mounted like the one in your picture but those phones did get wall-mounted in slightly different shape. 1000038469
