Honestly, that seem like the least important part of the egg. Couldn't you just throw all the other stuff in a cardbox box? I understand that the shell needs to "breathe", but still...

There's very little difference between and Xbox and a Windows PC these days. They are both running Windows. The Xbox just has an UI better suited to controllers. That's actually not a bad strategy, because it make it easier to write games that work on both.

What I want is to be able to control my home automation without the commands going round trip to a server in the cloud and back, so that everything still works if the 'net goes out. Will this box help me get to that goal? I understand a lot of programming may be required.

Ionic 6 is nice, but they are still $30k used, and they support limited V2L, not V2H. Great for camping, so no great for backing up your whole house. That being said, the only things that need to run 24/7 at my house are the fridge, they well pump, and a few light bulbs. My internet comes from the electric company, so I expect my internet will be out any time the power is out. I have a wood-burning fireplace if I need help, and being on a windy coast, openning the windows usually provides adequate cooling.

Can the jury at least decide which one of them has a more punchable face? I know that's a pretty tough question...

"Dark matter" always seemed like it would be indistinguishable from swarms of primordial black holes to me, but then, I'm not a physicist or a cosmologist.

Unregulated capitalism is harmful. That being said, there are much more important things the antitrust regulators should be looking at besides the "We'd now like to monetize the service we originally gave away for free" that is part of many web services' business model, e.g. Blue Sky. Media consolidation has gone too far and become too corrupt.

Ever since they abandoned their "Don't be evil" motto, this blatant capitalism for inevitable.

$100 says they did!

Because I have have $250K riding the on the idea that we'll let them get away with it!

The battery "uses a non-toxic electrolyte" that is "as safe as tofu brine" which is to say, it's not actually tofu brine.

Agreed, however, its megalithic and heavily interdependent design is consistent with how Microsoft architects software which is why they hired Lenny.

Oh, I'm sorry, did Microsoft stop being a publicly traded corporate hellbent on profiting regardless of the cost it has to other people? I just want to be sure because you seem to be making that case.

So you're telling me that aren't using underhanded and deceptive tactics to push their own agenda? I could have sworn they were pushing the Edge browser really hard and integrating copilot into everything but, I guess if you say none of that matter, then it's all OK.

Let's be real, you're here waving a banner of naivete like they aren't plotting and scheming new way to try an take more money from everyone.

OH, I HAVE. These assholes have been trying to interfere with every facet of our lives. Do you think they give out free licenses to universities out of the kindness of their hearts? Did they try to get every school to require students learn to program because they think it's a skill they will honestly need? Are you truly so stupid as to believe such things?

You have deluded yourself.

No, I'm complaining that it's being reported as if a practice of releasing "PlayStation Exclusive" titles on PC has stopped. However, the reality is that it had never actually started. I thought my suggested title would have made it apparent but I think that would require you read my comment in the first place.

Close but incorrect. The primary function is to make it easy to obtain and read ebooks. Without being easy the device it is considered to be garbage to most consumers.
