The nostalgia is not so much about the box themselves (although collectors love displaying them) but more so about the physical media, Pring manuals Add for upcoming games and the other doo-dads that came in the box. Some games had these funny little wheel things for copy protection but the Game makers made them fun to play with in there own right like "Dial-a-pirate" Interactive Dial-a-pirate found here https://ia801405.us.archive.or...

Epic don't believe in that kind of freedom.. They only want alternative app stores on the main stream platforms so they are free to get more money. They don't actually want to support true "alternative" platforms

Only exception i could see to this rule is Missing persons cases where timing is absolutely necessary to save someone's life it would suck iff a easally preventable murder happened because some judge was out at the 9th hole

that is why in hospital we have disposable PPE almost NOTHING in a hospital reused without proper SPD procedures

Six months ago every other room in the hospital had a pink airborne contamination PPE notification next to it (the hospital I am currently working at uses pink to note the patient has Covid as a internal code) lately I will see one or two rooms with this at a time. Being fair I have Covid twice the second time felt like a mild cold.

I would assume one would have to install A third party App store ones self. and that it is a safe bet that most of the end users who are not tat savvy will stick to the default ones.

This is of course your opinion and others are entitled to have differing ones. Personally I use the apple offerings because I find them less annoying than the Microsoft or Google alternatives.

You don’t even needed booze for the social aspect. In college I used to allow volunteer to be the designated driver. It gave me an excuse to not drink and still hang out with friends. It was also cheaper to drink diet soda vs booze.

Problem is every time the U.S. enters a Treaty or org like this they end up footing 80 to 90% of the bill.

You left out heavy construction and, mining equipment
