- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 2 weeks ago:
Six months ago I moved from the US to a country where BYD and other Chinese brands are available. In the past I owned GM cars. The former GM executive is correct. After trying Chinese cars I find it extremely difficult to justify paying 40-60% more for a car made by GM or anyone else.

I prefer the Wii U Pro Controller, similar layout but with a proper d-pad. I got to have a proper d-pad.

Worse, you will get used to it.
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 2 weeks ago:
If I were in the market for an EV, I have better options than a Tesla including some the equivalent of sub 10,000 USD. I just don’t know how well EVs can handle +50C temperatures.
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 3 weeks ago:
Xbox was the only Microsoft product that I liked, paid for and used. I don’t use Windows or Office -except when mandated at work-, but I’ve had the Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox Series S. I have over 300 owned digital games on Xbox. I decided to move away from Xbox a year ago, I never used Steam before Autumn last year, and now I game on the Steam Deck more than anything else. The writing has been on the wall for a few years now though, so this news isn’t surprising. I still wanted to get an Xbox Series X to keep playing the digital games I collected over the years and was waiting for a price cut but they went and raised the prices instead.

Why even be in the video game industry?

I think you meant the 360 which had a PowerPC CPU and Nvidia GPU. The One and Series X|S use the same, more or less, AMD APU design as the ROG Ally.

- Comment on Survey: More Than 1 In 4 Americans Feel They Need To Make $150,000 Or More To Live Comfortably 4 weeks ago:
When I lived in the US my biggest expenses were housing, healthcare and taxes. None of them were things I could reduce.
- Comment on I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount 5 weeks ago:
Plot twist: there are no phones, the whole thing is a scheme to rip off people for $64.70. Enough money to make the scam worth it, not enough for people to put in the time and effort to reclaim their money unless their credit card will compensate them.
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 5 weeks ago:
If you don’t like it, try OnlyOffice.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 5 weeks ago:
I worked with someone who would never drink water. It was weird to me. I always preferred water because as a lid was free at all schools I went to, allowing me to save half of my allowance. As an adult it still cheaper and very low calorie, practically zero calories.

You do realize that he wasn’t run over unlike the Palestinians who do get run over by Israeli tanks.

The US spent the last 24 years spreading freedom and democracy in the Middle East, it ended up running out of it at home

I didn’t enjoy the Handsome Collection but free is free. Thanks for sharing.
- Comment on Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East. 5 months ago:
Modern day Palestinians come in all shades from “white” to “black”. As someone who studied and argued the genealogy and ancestry of the region, here’s the gist of it:
- Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Levantines are closely related.
- The closest people to Ancinet Egyptians are modern day Egyptians.
- The closest people to Ancient Levantines are modern day Yemenis, then Saudis.
- Modern Levantines reflect millennia of migrations and conquests since the collapse of the Bronze Age.
