That was my first thought, there is no way they are going to hit that console price point anytime soon... so they can either release now at a price that reflects the reality of the market, or hold on even longer hoping for a near-term mirac

Considering the annual revenue of Fortune 500 companies is near 20 Trillion, that is a much smaller amount than expected.

You can still get plenty of use out of them if you adjust expectations accordingly. I don't expect my 2013 iMac to do everything a brand new one can, but I do expect it to sit on my bench and function as a control station for my 3d pri

Yeah print… reading anything from a few months to a year. Not bad for how cheap the ribbons are.

Been thinking of doing something similar, I have an Apple ImageWriter and Atari 1025 sitting in my basement. Does anyone know how long dot matrix ink ribbons last new?

Granted I have a big ol' head, but I like the metal frame in all its heft - they feel ultra durable and I don't worry about throwing them in a bag.

Man this brings back memories. The homebrew scene around the DS and PSP was so lively circa 2005/2006, and it solidified my burgeoning interest in programming.

One of the things I love about Nintendo is their (estimated) 1.5 trillion yen cash reserve allows them to just... do whatever they want. It frees them up to take risks and ignore market trends. More times than not, their zany ideas have wor

You don’t need me to validate it for you, search “never discuss politics or religion in polite company” - it was a common maxim.

As stated elsewhere, “good ol’ days” is an idiom. That was the expression. The point I was making was independent of the idiom/expression.

We do seem to have a huge influx of Reddit refugees that don’t understand what makes this community different.

I agree with the sentiment. My point was more people used to have a common understanding that there was a time and place for political (and religious) discussion - and that those beliefs were deeply personal, shaped largely by experience, a

It is an expression, you needn’t interpret it literally.

Older generations have an implicit trust for what is on screen because they grew up in an era where getting something on screen was not easy, and thus had an implied credibility. Take advertising as an example. Before Google Ads and the so-

You reminded me that building use to be considerably cheaper than buying. I remember my teen years, doing odd jobs to get some cash, buying a part at a time until the build was complete. Worrying that if you didn't scrap together eno
