Many, many PC games can be played with a controller connected to the PC's USB port. Support for HID protocol and XInput protocol is widespread.

Gaming exclusively on modern consoles on grounds that games for Linux or Windows are presumed malware means you'll probably get indie games years late or never. This is because it takes time for an indie developer to build enough of a reputation in the industry to become eligible to buy a devkit for a modern console.

Unless by consoles, you mean things like the NES and Genesis, which are still getting brand-new indie games decades after Nintendo and Sega stopped supporting them.

Say your reactor has a neutron injector on a rotor. The fission fuel has started vibrating, creating a feedback loop that could cause the reaction to become unstable. Running the rotor in reverse would change the pattern of incident neutrons just enough to stop the vibration. And the way you make a rotor go the other way is by reversing the polarity of its drive current.

That's the best that I could ground this technobabble off the top of my head.

They could do it like Sling, which has two basic tiers: Orange and Blue. Blue has the limited basic channels and a bunch of channels from programming providers other than Disney. Orange has limited basic and Disney, fewer channels and fewer simultaneous streams than Blue, with an "Orange & Blue" add-on tier that adds the missing channels from Blue.

Plausible subjects include either "The government's competition regulator" or "A coalition of multichannel video distributors". Which was it?

Disney requires specific channels to be at the basic tier of a multichannel video provider's offering, not a "sports" tier. Last I checked (today), multichannel IPTV provider Sling worked around this by offering two different basic plans: "Orange" with ESPN and other Disney properties and "Blue" with more channels but no Disney. Orange subscribers can add the extra Blue channels on a second "Orange & Blue" tier.

CBN operated from 1977 through 1997, showing ads starting in 1981 and taking the name The Family Channel in 1988. Beginning in 1997, CBN was reduced to a paid programming arrangement to show The 700 Club on what is now Disney's Freeform channel. There are, however, numerous other religious channels under a viewer donation arrangement like what you describe, such as EWTN. And in 2008, CBN started a second channel called CBN News, first online and then with a handful of broadcast affiliates.

If Pictionary doesn't call back to Tim Follin's soundtrack for the 1990 NES game, then it's Pictionary in name only.

Toyota makes cars that last in factories that last. They're preparing for January 2029 when the Troll-in-Chief leaves office.

Developers of iOS native apps have to know what TLS is because the App Transport Security policy of iOS requires all web APIs used by the application and controlled by its developer to use TLS since 2015.

Until they see a trailer for a game that looks interesting, click through to learn more about the game, and find that it's available for (say) Linux, Windows, and NES. A lot of games from smaller studios get released on PC first, or PC plus an unlicensed release on a long-obsolete console, while the studio awaits approval to obtain a devkit for the major modern consoles.

Does this include things like Steam Deck?

If you refer solely to physical distribution through big-box electronics store chains in the United States, what's so special about that sales channel?

Likewise, a lot of people use obsolete Mac computers, and a lot of people (including myself) use obsolete Nintendo Entertainment System consoles.

As I understand it, the "obsolete" label applies to a video game console once its manufacturer is no longer certifying new games for it. For example, Shakedown: Hawaii is the last Wii disc game in Europe, the last Wii U disc game in North America, and the last PlayStation 3 game. See list of last licensed games by console.

You are technically correct that the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 does not apply because Ryanair operates in Europe, not the United States. However, the United States is by far not the only country with a disability discrimination law. Ryanair is headquartered in a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, a European Union member state that has its own disability accommodation law framework. So let me address the spirit of coats's question:

Say someone can't use a smartphone without setting it to use large print. If Ryanair requires its customers to use an application that is incompatible with large print setting, what recourse does the customer have under Irish law?

What country? I seem to remember some countries have instituted policies that require "social" web applications to thoroughly verify the age of all users. Australia, for example, passed such a law that takes effect next month.

One alternative to YouTube is uploading your "shitty but fun songs" on your own website.
