Generally Keynote is held on a Tuesday, preorders open Friday morning the same week. Phones then ship the following week.

Wolfenstein 3D or Doom. It’s hard to think which I played first. Probably Doom.
At some point there has to be a crossover when it comes to profitability.
My bad. It just seems like the low hanging fruit everyone plays off of.
We actually used to get vehicles close to this size. The Suzuki samurai (really a jimny) was sold here for a number of years. Geo sold a fair number of almost kei cars that Suzuki made.
I’m a fan of limiting them from interstate highways, but keeping them registrable. It’s just dumb they cite “safety” even though the law explicitly calls out they aren’t required to be safe. I just want a nice 25-45 mph city truck to lug dirty junk around.
But if anyone is curious, Douglas deBoard imported so many European cars in the 80’s that cut into the profits of Mercedes USA enough that they pushed the law through. Buying them in Europe and importing them was actually cheaper (in some aspects) than buying a US market one. And the imported cars were better equipped!
It wasn’t even about protecting American manufacturers or trucks. Mercedes has just always been a huge dick.
Doing comparisons like these don’t make sense when motorcycles and trikes exist.
I would assume the latter until proven otherwise. No doubt they hide that.
Demons Souls being the exception that I can think of off the top of my head.
2x on the plugs and muffs. Depends on my glasses the muffs don’t get a perfect seal. And I swapped a limb saver buttstock on my skeet 1301 and my god did it make a difference in comfort.
That’s super cool!
Are engine block heaters being confused for pre-heating the cabin? Because we have block heaters too.
The peak version of this that’s kind of sold me is you can pre-condition in the garage. Like, why wouldn’t anyone want to do that.
Too bad they discontinued it.
Haha I had to look it up, but that’s the definition of “innovation”. Literally taking something existing and making it better.
I guess it would be better to say they innovated the slate style phone. Android didn’t come out until 2008 and all other top phones used physical buttons. The iPhone technically only had 5 for general functions.
I remember the first keynote. Jobs kept repeating phrases like music player, web browser, and phone together like that. And then boom, he whipped out the first iPhone that was in his pocket the whole time. While there were similar devices at the time, nothing (to my knowledge) was all one package especially in an all touch device that small.
Forced update, they took too long to restart.
Should be OSX 10.5.8 if anyone is curious. Which can be used all the way back to the 2002 quicksilver G4’s that ran 867 MHz processors. Which is dumb, the dual cpu 800 MHz were limited to 10.4.11 and couldn’t upgrade. But at that point they were quite dated anyways so it doesn’t matter that much.
Pearl Jam tried this in the 90’s and got ran over. There would have to be people in congress that cared enough.
The mini’s only ever accounted for single digit sales percentages, so they never made any sense to sell once the terrible sales were realized.
And then there was the generally mediocre user experience. It just puts a bad image on iPhone as a whole so apple is quick to drop it. I’m surprised they released a 13 mini, but there must have been some sort of break even they wanted to achieve.
Anything mini led with local dimming and HDR will be more than enough at a lower budget. Hisense has some pretty nice ones.
