This handheld not Microsoft hardware, though, it's an Asus.

I’ve learned to be suspicious whenever I hear an economic argument made in favor of anything at all.

Nobody ever made an economic argument in favor of chocolate ice cream, puppies or Taylor Swift tickets, which seem to be things people actually want. The only time the economic arguments get trotted out is when somebody is trying to lube up a dildo to shove up our asses.

Even the dumbest salesman knows if he wants to make a sale, he has to convince you the product is good for you. When he has to tell you it’s “good for the economy”, he’s acknowledging there’s no way he can convince you it will be good for you, so he’s distracting you by appealing to an abstraction

Yet, consider this -- consoles used to get price cuts quickly. The SNES launched for $199, but the next year it was selling for $149, and then $99.

This pluralization makes no sense as "genie" comes from Arabic, not Latin.

Look at Venezuela and North Korea. They were driven to poverty by mad rulers but the people still can't get rid of them.

The hype is so dead that they'd be better off cancelling it now.

I bet they could replace that with a floppy emulator, that'd load disk images from a flash drive instead.

It HAS a membrane, doesn't mean it IS a membrane keyboard (a la Atari 400 or ZX81).

That moronic article equates chiclet and scissor-switch. Disregard it.
