The only controller I’ve ever really enjoyed using is the steam controller. Just about everything else felt worse than playing using a mouse and keyboard. To each their own though, if you like controllers then more power to you.
OP you appear to be committed to (not) dying on this hill and I applaud you
Why are we tolerating this criminal behavior by corporations?
Because it’s done in the open and it’s accepted as part of the cost of the device. This is an expected consequence of our adtech surveillance economy where devices are now subsidized because they can harvest data about you, your usage and your behavior to sell on an ongoing basis. We’ve been screaming about these sorts of practices since the late 90s and consumers have just blithered right along with every new and creepy intrusion because they get cheap things and don’t think about the real costs or consequences. And so … Here we are.
I’m just waiting for them to add a sideband channel to some LoRa network so they can exfiltrate data even when their devices are “offline”
The energize to ID change is a great one, it really makes alchemy much more accessible (especially given the increased energy costs after the catalyst changes and the following balance tweaks.)
It will sooner or later but what we really should be pressuring them for is a stable API
Even being able to generate enough lift to send a payload into orbit would be an amazing advancement. We can solve propelling craft out of the solar system later, first we need an economical way to get off planet that isn’t just burning fuel to lift fuel.
Interesting that the one has such large capacitors in it. I imagine that is as last-ditch effort to keep the board powered long enough to finish flushing all of its caches in the event of a power failure.
That’s exactly the point of power loss protection (aka PLP.) As a side effect of not needing to wait for a flush after a write synchronous write workloads are dramatically faster on enterprise drives with PLP.
Edit: To add a bit of detail - you don’t need to wait for a flush after a synchronous write with PLP because the drive firmware can lie and immediately return from a flush call because there’s enough backup power to complete that flush if the power were cut.
Hell even Costco probably has photo paper
There are sequels?

They’ll also start paring features out of the device as soon as it’s convenient for them, like they did with the OnHub as soon as Google Home devices launched. I’m still salty about the OnHub, they flat out neutered a multifunction device down to a big WiFi AP because they just didn’t want people using any of the smart home or speaker functionality once they had other products to sell.
How else are they going to maximize wealth extraction?
I don’t use Samsung unless I plan to unlock and root the device. I have 70+ apps disabled on my Samsung tablet and it’s finally usable. Hopefully someone else comes along with a high spec OLED tablet sometime soon so I can stop buying Galaxy Tab S devices.
I for one support the AI centipede and hope it shits into it’s own input until it dies
I’m waiting for someone to knock it over with their car and shoot it, that’s the American way after all
Apple brandy would like a word. One of my favorite liquors, it’s fantastic.
