To play games coded by a shitty AI, full of bugs and as many microtransactions as possible ...

It's not like that even try to hide a lot of the shit they do.

Stuff like:

  • locking authors into exclusivity contracts with Kindle Unlimited/Audible (monopoly abuse/anticompetitive*
  • Advertising items as "on sale" - especially around Prime Day/Black Friday etc after jacking up the price a few weeks in advance
  • Items with "free Prime shipping" but the exact same item without Prime is less about the shipping cost
  • Stuff like Kindle ebooks shown with a discount price when no other medium exists, it was never sold at the listed "regular price" to begin with, and/or it's only available from Amazon in the first place

That's probably a member of NAMDLA ...

It's worth noting that it's not just consumer PC RAM sales are affected. A lot of electronics use RAM and a lot are and will affected.

Phones are one. Probably TVs. Businesses buy computers too and I'd imagine that the suddenly increased price isn't going to go well for them.

Well there is satirical stuff like Blazing Saddles where the racism is kinda core to the film, but it's being mocked rather than promoted.

Ditto the original Lethal Weapon in regards to the main villain. The "Playground scene" from JoyRide also kinda alludes to racism but subverts expectations in a fun way

Yeah I was pretty sure the key master/gatekeeper stuff would go over my kids' heads but I forgot about the ghost-sex scene.

Ironically, other stuff with a high rating is actually due to blood/gore but the other content is pretty low-key. I'd rather they watch Terminator than a lot of the "funny" stuff

Second to worst for that is the excessive use of Google stuff, including Chromebooks replacing PC labs, and a bunch of G-software

Their dick probably didn't look much better. Even with lube that's gonna chaff after awhile and probably took off at least a layer of skin

I try to always put the -rf at the end for this reason. Not sure what works on Mac but it does allow it on most Linux shells

Yeah my first thought was that Frame should be ok since my intended use-case was "connected to Steam PC via the wireless transceiver" but then I AI remembered it can run standalone so would also need storage, RAM, and a strong enough processor to handle all that.

Now I'm kinda thinking it would be cool if the Frame was more like an updated Index with wireless, local tracking etc etc and an optional daughter-board - for standalone gameplay functionality - that could be connected later or even allow upgrades.

Punishing people for any form of kindness so that they are wary of helping anyone else in the future....

Oh. That sounds not good for lot of potential reasons
