Can't wait to continue not using them since they suck as a search engine now. At work I go straight to the vendors' docs and stack overflow since Google offers only regurgitated (mostly outdated) slop nowadays. This is for Java development.

The only product of theirs that still seems functional is maps for now.

Even gmail started half assing search results which only include the past few weeks when you type into the search bar until you physically click the search button. Not sure what idiot thought that was a good idea since it misleads you to think it already did the search when it lists partial results.

Why would they do that when they can make an extra $0.03 this quarter?

A few titles actually went in clearance at Costco which is somewhat rare:

Prices ending in 97 at that store indicate they wanted to get rid of the inventory to make room for other items, not sure the reasoning for it though, could be just newer games for the same system (since it also varies by location).

Edit: Looks like Walmart had a similar sale ($35-$40) for even more titles including bananza, so something is definitely different when compared to previous Nintendo pricing deals with retailers.

They were not profitable though, you can only do that for so long before you fold and then no one gets anything.

They work out of the box, but the firmware updater is what's windows only (pro 2 and pro 3 at least). Not even a MacOS version of the firmware tool.

The larger issue I found with them was that hollow knight and silksong didn't capture the triggers properly on their Linux version making them unplayable. Also the games would crash once in a while. You have to run the windows version with proton to get a solid experience. I read it was due to outdated Linux input libraries used by unity or whatever game engine it uses.

Someone on the design team cashed all their stock options at apple and bought coke in bulk from the animations shown.

Forgot about that yes, heard of horror stories of people being locked out of gmail, google support being useless and losing so much time and money migrating accounts manually by having to visit banks and the like.

For new people, for ongoing domain registrations people should also consider the renewal costs. There are some registrars with somewhat predatory pricing schemes that end up being very expensive long term (e.g. the trendy .io TLD).

Dot com and dot net are some of the most stable ones, even though they might not appear as such at first glance. Almost anything less costly on initial costs will cost you in some other way (might not offer whois privacy (.us iirc) or be limited to residents or people with legit business on that country (.ca) or have a mixed reputation with being labeled spam (.xyz - although I believe this last one has been kind of proactive in clearing that up).

Sorry to highjack the comment, but I wish someone had warned me to look, not all TLDs are administered the same.

He has other videos where he has explained that you can't trust any brand any longer and you should not buy based on previous brand experiences alone but investigate individual models (and even revisions to them since it was a known trick to change them after the initial release to make them cheaper). Not sure if he mentioned it on this video since at the moment I'm not in the market for an appliance, but his takes seemed reasonable.

If you are talking about the static sounds when connected, its some sort of hardware issue that's been there since the 8 and maybe still on the 10

Edit: or some crappy software stack. Priority yo go all in on AI investments I guess.

Not related to the topic at hand but interestingly (?) I've gotten used to your weird "th" as 1 character. I could read the entire thing without noticing it. I wonder if others have started to do the same since the upvote ratio seems better than what I remember it being before when people always questioned the usage.

Unfortunately..
