Thank you for correcting and clarifying!

It’s a bit clickbaity to say Intel “lost” the PlayStation business when they didn’t have it to begin with.

Sony has been using AMD CPUs for a couple generations of PlayStation now. Moving over to Intel would have screwed up backward-compatibility, adding a ton of work and striking a huge blow to efficiency if anything were going to be backward-compatible down the line and also thrown that monkey wrench into the works of any developers publishing for both generations during the switchover. The article touches on this a little bit.

Intel would have needed to present some magically miraculously sweet deal for Sony to even consider switching, and especially when Intel is doing generally crappy I can’t see that being an easy thing for them to figure out.

McDonalds Sprite is its own meme.

“Al” to his friends.

I accidentally switched to Neopets, now I have to take care of a stupid cartoon bird thing.

My favorite bit of OS/2 snark from back then was “OS/2 = half an operating system”

Chiming in to add that the KDE application menu icon (aka the Start Button) is easily changed to whatever picture you want. Mine is currently the TARDIS control console from Doctor Who which is quite fun.

But there’s no better way to make a really traditional dioxin omelette.

I don’t really care and am distugested

Please don’t be distugested.

To quote the original writer of the post above, in the thread which continues from it:

And phones were sturdier because they were thicker because they had a headphone jack.

If you prefer bluetooth, I hope you know that bluetooth still works on devices that have headphone jacks.

If you’re saying it’s good that they got rid of the headphone jack, you’re telling me good that we have one option instead of two.

And this situation shows an inherent weakness of a military culture which demands one pretend a dumbass isn’t a dumbass just because of their badge collection.

Seems like they should change their now-impossible username.

It’s like the UK decided to be welcoming by putting up a whole Chaotic Prime Minister just for the benefit of your visit.

It is impossible for my turnip soup business to make money if you enforce laws that make it illegal for me to steal turnips.

Paying for turnips is not realistic.

You bureaucrats don’t understand food.

On the bright side, she no longer has Johnny Silverhand living in her head and complaining about all her decisions.
