I think it's less about generating a certificate and more about managing and serving push notifications which assumedly takes resources to serve and manage. Not to mention the cost of setting up the servers in the first place. They hav

Why deny your kid the ability to mod?!? Dude, you're putting your kid in a box by not letting him explore the world of modding. The ability to add something new to your game is a powerful one and I think it can help a kid wrap his head

I think many people would agree that the price discrepancy does have a lot to do with branding and marketing strategy. Intel is a larger wealthier company and they assumedly pour a lot more money into R&D than AMD. If you go purely by m

But you can't "just repeat it until it succeeds" because there's a deterministic chance (1/128 in the case of the cards) that a De Bruijn cycle occurs more than once in the same sequence. So to just repeat it until
