A feature of the Lynx that I've never seen anyone else replicate that doesn't get enough love IMO is the fact that it could be configured for left-handed input. It literally allowed you to flip the screen if you were a lefty.

What I'm not getting (although I have a theory) is how this would be an issue for Onlyfans, but not for Myfreecams. I mean, it's not like Radvinsky doesn't own both of them and you'd think that a change in the rules that would include a required review of livestreams would hit a cam site much harder than what is essentially a subscription blog platform. Ultimately, I wonder how much of a difference it'll make, because for all the funny headlines about "Porn site bans porn, lol" I find the stated ban of "Sexually explicit acts" to be vague enough to serve as a nice little smoke screen that is easy to selectively enforce while keeping business running as usual in the background.

Oh definitely - chances are the front desk staff won't even be told that a tool went missing in the first place. They'll either just activate directly after seeing the receipt or call their manager to ask permission to activate based on the receipt. Even if the manager knows of the missing tool (which would necessitate them tallying their stock on a daily basis, which is highly unlikely) there's still the fact that the thief could argue their case based on the receipt. "Something must have gone wrong, because I did buy this and it ain't active." Unless Home Depot is very different from every place I've worked at, retail jobs are full of people who will happily do anything to get the unhappy customer out of the store asap and the fastest way to do that is to just give them what they want.

Y'know as a fan of ancient games, I'd pay good money for a modern machine that allows me to easily play Megarace-era games out of the box. As it stands I have had so much trouble getting part of my GOG library to run on Windows 10 that I ended up installing Windows 7 on a laptop just so I could circumvent the offered solutions of downloading patches from now-defunct forums every time I felt like playing some Soldier of Fortune or Carmageddon.

Sounds like you're missing my point. I could bring my PC up to the comfort standards of a device that was released 3 years prior. But to do so requires an investment of time (waiting) and money (at this point we're looking at more money than the PS4 cost at launch just for a marginally better GPU because of shortages). Time and money that I could be spending playing games from the comfort of my couch. My point is that not everyone lives in a hypothetical situation where they have the budget available to bring both options to their maximum theoretical capabilities and moreover that not everyone considers it a good investment to do so even if they can. Furthermore, I would contend that the comparison is not being made on an equal footing when it's between a PS4 and a PC with a theoretically much larger budget.

In my personal case, I can play my PS4 from the comfort of my couch with better graphical quality than I get out of my PC. My mobo has no native BlueTooth support, so control wise the PS4 does much better and my Radeon 580 doesn't get the kind of performance on my 4K TV that I get out of my PS4. Now admittedly, I can fix both those with a PC upgrade, but that requires time, money and effort on my part that I could also be spending playing on my PS4. Especially getting a decent GPU to upgrade my games to 4K is...difficult nowadays. Look, all else being equal in a theoretical scenario sees the PC winning hands down, but that's hardly suprising given that even on my personal midrange rig I spent 3 times the amount of money that my PS4 would have cost me even at launch.

NVME SSD from SATA I'm unlikely to notice the few seconds it shaves off of my load time.

tbh, back in the before times when I could still go to the gym it was much easier to just have my ipod (I had a nano with watch band with me so that I didn't run the risk of my phone falling out of my pockets since pockets on men's sportswear often seems more like a suggestion than an actual pocket. I never had to switch devices since it was just always in my gym bag next to my access pass. I guess that doesn't make it "necessary" per se, but with a lot of functions that my phone has, I can find some use case where a dedicated device would be preferable.

I'm Dutch. Over here mayo is the default option to the point where you could order "fries with" and have any snackbar employee in the country understand that you want fries with mayo.

There's at least one Vegas hotel that accepts bitcoin. Perhaps not the most shining example of non-criminal activity given the city's origins, but it's very much a legitimate business these days.

in my personal experience this has mainly applied to beardcare products from a particular Yorkshire company. With regards to LTTStore purchases, I had to pay both VAT and processing costs upon delivery for my desk pad earlier this year.

A case might be made for companies to decide not to start work on the next generation of hardware and instead shift more focus onto optimising production of in-demand goods for which they already have active production lines. We'll be experiencing COVID-related delays to every part of the product life cycle for the foreseeable future and I cannot imagine that R&D would be immune to those. Hell, with the world economy taking a dip it may be necessary to adjust course away from "always keep moving"

I was in a similar boat, I received my tracking link on the 22nd of December and didn't receive an update for weeks. Now that the package has been delivered, a full timeline has appeared, but even with that it took until the 8th of January before any update came. That's two and a half weeks (albeit with Christmas included) with zero updates and even then it would take 10 more days before I was informed about the package's upcoming delivery through my postal service's app. In the end, I received my package on the 20th, a month after ordering. (and since this was a desk pad and not sometjhing vital to my survival, that's fine IMO) I'm not familiar with Hungary's policies with regards to import costs, but over here in the Netherlands that tends to cause additional delays in updates/information being sent out. I'm sure I checked the tracking link at least once per week and I don't recall seeing any news through Wizmo's link until after the package had been delivered. If your order is anything like mine, not having any updates is not an indication that nothing's happening.

I think you misunderstand my comment. I know why they are benefitting, I just don't like that they are. I don't like Gamestop is all.

Weirdly, this is the thing that upsets me most about this: I'm really happy that hedge funds are sweating and thousands more arent's added to the unemployment pool in an uncertain economic time, but why did Gamestop of all game-related companies get to be the one that benefits? Like, couldn't they have waited for a nice company to nearly topple? Aside from that, all this talk about potential legal issues seems to be predicated on the notion that LTT does not have any form of a legal department which might inform Linus of any potential issues. Hell, for all we know Linus ran this idea past a lawyer before he enacted it on the WAN show.
