A tablet with its official keyboard sold separately tends to be more expensive than an entry-level laptop.

Several American public schools are experimenting with making the introduction to computer science course a requirement for high school graduation. (See "Should High Schools Require a CS Course Before Students Graduate?" from July 2023.) If the operating system of a tablet is inadequate for a student to complete a course required for graduation, that makes the tablet less valuable to a high school student.

Spiderman is a Marvel character but the movies are made by Sony. However the Spider-verse is a great demonstration of what can be done with alternative storylines. How many Peter Parker Spidermen movies did Sony make? They have rebooted the franchise twice already. Creating a trilogy with Miles Morales as Spiderman was a great idea that I can't believe some one at Sony approved.

If I were to guess, Redfall was a title dictated and directed by upper management at ZeniMax. Arkane Studios was only 150 developers as of 2020; I imagine the subdivision Arkane Austin was much smaller. Even though Arkane Austin partnered with Roundhouse Studios which is another small studio, this explains why Redfall seems so unfinished. There were not enough developers or time to make the game that was envisioned.

If you do not like the terms of their free email account, you have a choice not to use it. Capitalism at its best.

Ummm. You are talking about your free Google email account, right? The account for which Google has to maintain for you? Under those conditions, Google will now impose more security requirements. That seems rather entitled for you to impose conditions on Google. If it was an account that you paid money to use, that would be a different matter.

...for killing off my beloved N900 device family for the dumpster fire the business ended up as. The N950 would have been wonderful.

Absolutely loved that phone. Still, at least I still have Jolla.

The other thing not mentioned is that Hell Diver 2 was originally supposed to have the PSN requirement. However, it was way more popular than Sony anticipated at launch and their PSN infrastructure could not handle the amount of players interfacing with Steam. So they removed the requirement temporarily while they worked on their infrastructure.

A major issue is that Steam is in more countries than PSN. A major complaint is that some players will not be able to play the game anymore as their country currently does not have PSN. This should have been addressed somehow. The other issue is that people do not like to login twice. This is more of an inconvenience though.

If you have seen Starship Troopers, it is loosely based on that. You and your squad (co-op play) are dropped onto an alien planet being overrun by bugs and/or androids and you have to fight your way out. The humor is satirically patriotic and testosterone driven. However the game is $40 not $60.

Also cats and dogs are living together now!!

While individual Tweets are short, a series of Tweets them might be lengthy. An inaccurate summary might convey the wrong information. For example two people discussing Tesla might be discussing how the company market cap is less than $500B due to stock price dropping over the last year. That could be incorrectly summarized to Tesla losing $500B over the last year.

That is rather false dichotomy thinking. Did you even read the link where it says specifically the feature was approved for "over-the-counter" use. As such, the FDA and doctors are not going to suggest the watch be the ONLY diagnostic tool to use in a situation. If the watch notifies someone of a problem, that person should seek medical attention. Did you think that an alert by an Apple Watch means the person is immediately put on a heart transplant list? Did you think that hospitals have replaced all their patient monitoring devices with Apple Watches?

Nor is Pillow Python. However, Pillow routinely has significant changes from one major version to the next. Installing a newer version of Pillow than some system package expects could easily break that package. (This is why PEP 668 happened.) Likewise, installing from source a newer major version of a library than some C program expects could break that library.

HTTP has the "If-Modified-Since" request header, which instructs a server to process a request only if the requested document has changed since the provided date. It also has the "If-None-Match" request header, which does the same thing for "ETag" values.

(I did not use the <code> element in this post where the HTML spec states that I should have because Slashdot issued a diagnostic "Filter error: Invalid HTML tag usage".)

I don't understand how C is any different in this way. SDL major versions 1, 2, and 3 all have serious breaking changes.

Warfare more likely, yes.

Warfare that escapes well defined theaters of operation, no.

I suspect eventually, every country will give up a small amount of border land for total anti-invasion defense, and the only countries that will start wars are the ones too stupid to understand that they can't invade their neighbors anymore.
