Yet he created content for his blog. A very basic and derivative post, adding nothing more to discussion on the internet than the social media engagement bait and AI slop he is criticizing.

Interesting ask to a company that won't add a better GPU than a shitty Tegra mobile GPU that was years outdated by the Switch launch, that couldn't even run their flagship game (BOTW) at 30 FPS consistently, because they were so o

That's the article? Crowing about how thin it is for a few sentences? This is modern tech journalism? Seems like another generic, over 6" diagonal, huge and clunky phone. Let me guess this one will have groundbreaking artificial i

I don't care, I don't need my opinions to match the majority. The bias of critics is obvious and has been analyzed to death, and the bias of fans is equally obvious. Very few people who aren't already Nintendo fans would both

Unintended consequence: more crowds standing around as close to the boarding line as they can get so they can jump in line ASAP when their boarding group is called. There's probably a near 100% overlap between the type of people who tr

BOTW (and most Switch-era Nintendo titles with high marks) will go down as some of the most overrated games of all time. You'd think Nintendo fans have never played an open world game prior to BOTW with how they crow about it.

The art style in Zelda Switch games is certainly interesting but the game world is mostly just empty space dotted with the same couple dozen assets that have been reskinned and recycled. The "grade inflation" that Nintendo fans be

The national median home price in the US is $385k according to the most recent Redfin data point on 15 Sep. I find it very hard to believe that the "top 20 most expensive micropolitan areas" has 1/3 of the listed areas cheape

Commercial real estate prices are heavily interest rate dependent. Prices go down as the cost to finance debt rises. Apartment rents can stay the same or go up while the value of the building itself falls.

To add to this, it was a leveraged investment scheme. Think if you buy a house with 20% down and sell for a loss between 1-20%, it's your money that disappears first and the lender is not impacted. This was the same concept except the

Somewhere in the rabbit hole of delusion that is "buying in" to crypto is the idea that: 1. "Bitcoin is inevitable" and governments will be forced to buy it as "digital gold" to prevent a collapse of the world

Indeed! A Waveshare portable e-ink monitor is $499.99 for the 10.3" size, almost identical to the Daylight's 10.5" display. The external display would also outlast this tablet device for sure. And if I'm reading the Medi
