I am surprised that college basketball gets more viewers than NBA games.

The Celtics just sold for $6.1 billion. Both teams have a comparable legacy, though LA is a much bigger (shared) market. At the time of the sale, the Celtics were the defending champions and favorites to win again with a young set of players. The Lakers are a contender, but would need a bit of luck to get there, and LeBron is on the wrong side of ancient.

Overall, it seems like a fair price in the context.

Not shocked that they traded him. I am more curious about who will be left. Tatum for sure since he is an all-star with low trade value. Probably Brown, since the Celtics are (hopefully) not in total tank mode and it is impossible to get comparable value back for a player of his caliber. Who else will they keep though?

I don't want to sync my bookmarks. The sites I want bookmarked on my desktop are not the same as the sites I want bookmarked on my phone nor the sites I want bookmarked on my work laptop.

As an occasional user, I am sad to see it go. Are there any other sites out there to maintain a list of links that I may find useful in the future? With a web UI and not self hosted?

It is not an unexpected outcome. The Celtics are up against the wall and want to win for Tatum. Motivations fade and fatigue catches up to them, so I would not give them a chance in the series.

I have not watched the series, so can anyone point out any particularly egregious events? I am prone to think that Green complaining bloody murder means the series was well reffed.

Exactly why they put it. You would first need to win a trial to get the clause voided and then win another trial to get actual damages or you can go to arbitration and get a modest settlement. Most people will take the latter.

What sort of half assed reporting came up with this story? This is not a new policy. If I remember right, Nintendo added a forced arbitration clause to their EULA about 10 years ago (I would try to find an exact date, but Google is flooded with articles parroting this story).

It came up with regards to Joy-Con drift in 2017: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2:2020cv01694/292704/21/

Should companies be allowed to force arbitration as a shield against all law suits? Hell fucking no, but their lawyers say they can, so any company with a EULA written by a half decent lawyer includes the wording.

At this point, the only reason anyone would complain that a company includes the clause is rage bait.

I cannot speak about the quality of the port (I played it on the DS), but Capcom ports Ace Attorney to every system they can.

The article does not get into detail, but I assume Stonemaier Games is going to argue that the President does not have the power to impose this type of tariff. The company is probably hoping that the judge will stay the tariff until the case can be argued. If this only buys the company enough time to refill their US warehouse without paying a tariff, they could come out ahead.

You still get company swag? In the 2010's, I got a ton of it, but not anymore. Maybe it is just that the company I was working at got too cheap to give out swag and when I switched jobs, I joined another cheapskate, but I assumed that it was the same everywhere.

I have enough company and recruiter swag collected during the good years that I have not needed to buy t-shirts, especially because I generally wear a collared shirt over them, so I don't care what logos and slogans they have.

 

During the pandemic, I rebuilt my computer but with GPU prices being insanely inflated, I decided to limp along with my old GPU (a GeForce GTX 760). The issue is that I have a 4k monitor and my current card can barely handle my desktop, never mind a game.

I have heard that prices are coming back down to a sane level, so I am looking for part suggestions. I am not looking to play new games or ultra high settings, but I would want to at least be able to handle older/indie games, on medium settings, at a steady 30 FPS.

I am looking for a note talking app to keep work notes in. My requirements are:

  • Allow hierarchical organization of notes (like project1, project1/build, project1/configure) and easy to navigate to different notes.
  • Allow basic formatting (heading, code block).
  • Run locally
  • (Optionally) Have a table of contents for quick navigation

Obsidian looked promising and had the additional benefit of storing notes in Markdown format for easy export. Unfortunately, I would need to buy a commercial license in order to store work-related information.

 

Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).

The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.

 

Has anyone ever shopped at the online store Gate Play? I have never heard of them.

I saw an out of print expansion being sold below MSRP and wanted to see if anyone knew if the site was a scam. I am going to pay by credit card and read the terms of service, but don't want to have to bother with charge backs if I am not their first victim.

 

Share your gift ideas, because I am a bit stumped.

 

Are there any Lemmy clients that allow me to quick change accounts and return back to the last community or post that I was looking at? Ideally, one that has an Android app version.

This matters to me because whenever I see any discussion of instances degenerating or having uptime issues, the go to answer is to create accounts on several servers. It is also good to allow me to have several distinct "identies" (for example a professional one, a hobby one, a local one).

From what I understand, KBin can import a Lemmy Community as a Magazine. Is the inverse also possible? Can I subscribe to a KBin magazine in Lemmy?

I want to subscribe to @boardgames@kbin.social, but !boardgames@kbin.social returns no search results on https://lemmy.world/ .
