It's so obviously break and not make but I will happily watch them spend their money

It's weird to me that the series changes names entirely depending on title sponsors. Someone will be the last Xfinity champ this year.

Oh yea there are already. I was alluding the the Retroid Pocket 5 for $200. It runs basically all of GC and PS2 and a lot of switch and winlator.

Interesting, we are already at the point where $200 android handhelds can run the heaviest emulators and games designed for Android, I'm curious what their spin will be because more power is a waste at this point.

Cuba might be a good place to look for a real world example of this. They had the concepts of "SNET" and "el paquete semanal" that were solutions to poor internet penetration, expensive internet costs (pay per MB), and heavy restrictions on that internet.

El paquete semanal is a weekly payload of the latest movies, TV episodes, manga, comics, etc. that gets brought into the country and spread by sneakernet.

SNET is widespread guerilla LAN networking to the point where Cuba had a well populated private WoW server. Also solved some of the Internet cost issues because you could game and share content locally without paying for every little MB.

As of 2020, SNET is now "illegal" and those existing networks are being absorbed into their ISP.

I mean, I care, but what can I do about it? There isn't a CEO I can shoot to make it stop, nor can I make voting day get here any sooner. All I can do is stamp out ignorance when I see it.

I assume most FOSS emulators have a non-commercial license, so if a company is using it to make money they are already violating the law, but who is gonna go after Nintendo for that?

Wax Sealing. You heat up colorful wax in a spoon over a tea light, pour it on a marble slab and then stamp cool designs into it. It is fun to experiment with different mixes, pouring techniques, etc and is very relaxing. Plus, when you are done, you have lots of cool seals. I have a bucket full of them and I like to just sit an go through them.

There is a youtube channel called 'melts' that makes really nice wax sealing videos with no talking.

if your dog smells like corn chips, especially in paw, it means there is a build up of yeast bacteria. Could be caused by them being dirty, eating too much processed food, or if your dog licks their paws a lot.

Feed your dogs better food and bathe them more regularly if they frequently smell like corn chips.
