The Legend of Zelda… & Knuckles. I like it.

It’s clearly Hyrule, though. Similar art style, but new map. Death Mountain is shown towards the end of the trailer.

The Link’s Awakening remake got released at full price, so there is a 0% chance this will be a budget title even though it probably in reality should be.

All it did to you was cosmetic.

Windows 10’s “feature” updates consistently also re-enable the “fast startup” option on my machine when they install. Which, on my particular motherboard and SSD combination, causes Windows to take about 30 minutes to boot when left enabled for reasons I have never been able to comprehend. A regular cold boot only takes like 20 seconds, so… I definitely tend to notice when it does this behind my back yet again.

I have never in my life heard anyone actually call weed “dope.”

“Dope” is heroin, and its derivatives and relations.

You’re not rewarded for maintaining or finishing products.

No kidding.

It is 2024, and here is your yearly reminder that you still can’t create a new folder/label in the official Gmail Android app despite the online documentation implying that you can.

Or somewhere in a component of one of the machines that makes it, even if it doesn’t contact the final product. Does your machine have a circuit board in it? Semiconductors! Resin! Solder! Bam: Anything made with it gets a California Proposition 65 warning label.

You are correct that the Prop 65 program as it currently stands is less than useless. This is largely down to the fact that there are penalties if your product is found to contain any substance on the list without disclosure, but there is no penalty for hedging your bets and making the blanket declaration that your product “may” contain chemicals known to the State of California, etc. if you can’t be bothered to perform and pay for the testing to certify that it doesn’t.

It is therefore cheaper for manufacturers to just plaster the Prop 65 warning label on absolutely everything, so they do. Now the label no longer has any meaning, because its presence does not accurately inform anyone if the product really does contain anything worth knowing about. It’s become a Boy Who Cried Wolf situation with consumers, who see the label on every item they touch and still don’t understand what it means, so it just becomes another meaningless formality that they ignore along with all the other crap on packaging they’ve been desensitized to seeing, like the resin identifier codes, worthless shield shaped “guarantee” logo, choking hazard logo, forced arbitration notices, etc., etc.

And like all of these novelty phones, it has no 5G support and extremely narrow 4G band support, which means this will be nearly worthless for users in North America. And it will quickly become even more worthless as carriers are actively discontinuing their existing 3G and 4G bands.

This’ll work great for most people who don’t want to actually use it as a phone. I.e. it’d make a killer media playback device, remote control, or tiny PDA.

I was interested in their Titan a while ago but it, like all of their phones, has the same problem. There is no sense whatsoever in buying a new phone in 2024 that has such piddling network support.

And the thing of it is, millions of non-tech savvy people would not mind about having to move to Windows 11 and would do so in due course if Microsoft didn’t deliberately cripple it so it won’t run on a wide swath of not-too-old hardware.

Who cares? Cops can’t plant evidence. End of story.

If they did, even if the rest of the bust was legitimate, the entire thing goes out the window. If they had an actual reason to arrest him, they should have followed procedure and the law rather than going around trying to plant evidence.

I am reminded of the words of Martin Pearson from many years ago:

“I don’t know why I even bother to show up for these gigs. You lot seem to be perfectly capable of entertaining yourselves!”

Reddit could try not being such a toxic environment to people and maybe they wouldn’t do stuff like this. In this case given that the comment was from 3 years ago, the reason is most likely not because of the API scandal or AI scrapes or reddit going public, but rather some mod or other user was a persistent grade-A asshole to this poster, or started harassing them, or any of innumerable other possible toxic things, and they decided to just take their ball and go home.

I too torched all of my comments on reddit when I left, including the informative ones about niche subjects, and I’m not sorry about it.

Crap like this is why I use Corel.

Is it not valid to hang the Union Jack vertically, like a pennant? Mini could have just designed each light to be a complete flag, made the same reference, and not have everyone point and laugh at them.

Wow, I’m glad Apple engineers finally figured out how to invent this feature. I can’t wait to be told at a keynote how bold, innovative, and courageous this is.

These are smaller plugs than the figure-eight cords you’re thinking of that plug into old boomboxes, Playstations, etc. They’re DC voltage, not AC.

The WTF here is not that the manufacturer changed the connector slightly, it’s that they were too cheap to include the AC-to-DC converter part of it like they did on their older models, so OP has to buy a USB wall wart to power the stupid thing. The fact that he can’t use the old charger with the new shaver is just an irritating side effect.

Neither of them take AC power. I have an older one similar to OP’s old one. It uses a wall wart and the input is definitely DC.

In the US, at least federally, you are protected against age discrimination only if you are over 40. You can discriminate against younger people on the grounds of their age all you want.

Which, incidentally, governments on all levels (federal, state, local) happily do all the time with inconsistent ages of majority depending on the topic at hand:

• 16: Age to get a driver’s license.
• 18: Age to vote, enter into contracts, buy a rifle or shotgun, legally considered “adulthood,” except…
• 21: Age to drink, smoke, or buy a handgun, and…
• 25: Age before which no rental car agency will rent a car to you. (Go figure.)
