I’m a millennial and the last consoles I’ve owned were the PS3 and Wii.

I’m surprised nobody has taken on bringing compatible hardware to market. I feel like there would (still) be crowdfunding interest.

I hadn’t heard of Pebble the Twitter competitor. It just makes me miss the Pebble watches.

I found this interesting in the comments:

Hmm, Raspberry Pi Ltd. joins RISC-V group (Jan 2019). Raspberry Pi Ltd. releases Rpi5 with a unified Rpi1 I/O chip (Oct 2023) freeing them from being tied to a particular SoC family. ARM Ltd. invests in Raspberry Pi Ltd. (Nov 2023). Hmmm… Really seems like a “here’s some cash, stay ARM.”

Can you imagine the marketing impact of a RISC-V RPi board after all these years of it being ARM based? Sure, the number of boards effected isn’t huge, but it’s the marketing impact of losing a flagship product that needs to be considered.

I prefer uBlock Origin myself.

I’m not the person you were replying to, but the source linked on the wiki for that statement actually refers to them as being distinct.

Impressive!

Interestingly, it seems the average age is around 44.

This is true for any health system (labour and technology costs are huge components to health care, even in systems with universal coverage). However, there are also huge and significant costs inherent to any system that doesn’t provide universal coverage (e.g., people delaying care leading to more severe illness costlier to respond to). Private insurance systems also introduce significant cost pressures even for non-profit and publicly funded providers by driving up staffing costs and requiring more support staff to operate.

All this to say, the US doesn’t have a budget problem when it comes to health care - the primary obstacle is the policy challenge of switching to a system that does a better job at delivering care for everyone based on need rather than ability/willingness to pay. Massive cost savings follow when people are kept healthier.

They actually do spend a lot of public dollars on health, it’s just spent into a system that isn’t efficient. Universal access to care drives down costs significantly across the board - instead they have piecemeal coverage and a system with overall costs inflated by administrative staff hired solely to manage insurance billing and delayed treatments.

It’s an interesting area of policy where expanding coverage means lower costs overall.

They already spend a ton of public dollars on health. The problem is that it goes to insurance companies, administrative staff, and the downstream health costs of inadequate early access to care.

The lack of full size HDMI is still pretty disappointing.

Well that’s disappointing. Also noticed this review: https://www.gamesradar.com/cities-skylines-2-review/

Hezbollah has been involved from South Lebanon since the initial attacks by Hamas. They were launching rockets from Lebanon.
