  The Japanese version of the NES was a toploader, and the NES itself had a toploader version later on as well.

  Also, what’s with the personal attack?

  Assuming both of those people use exactly the same infrastructure (which they do), yes.

  The person with the higher usage will still pay more in total because the connection fee is just a base price, you’re still paying per kWh (which is forwarded to the companies running the power stations)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Blu-Ray kind of shot itself in the foot by having an insanely restrictive copy protection (AAAC) applied, which made watching movies on a PC/Laptop all but impossible, especially offline (I traveled by train a lot in 2015)*. It was obviously broken fairly quickly, so they added BD+, which was also broken within 4 months.

  It should be regarded as a cautionary tale against any form of copy pretention, but they sell the keys to the hardware suppliers, so I guess making the customer have a worse experience still paid off.

  *No, paying PowerDVD a yearly ransom is not a valid solution

  Inventory is limited by item weight.

  Discarding items requires 3+ button presses.

  I still want someone to explain to me why XML even needs namespaces (which cause about 95% of all issues regarding XML).

  There is a way to separate different XML structures, it’s called files.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just kill one guy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The assassination was the trigger, not the reason.

  It would have been easy to prevent the war even afterwards, but Austria-Hungary sent ridiculous demands to Serbia, knowing full well they could not comply, which immediately pulled in Germany and Russia via their respective defensive pacts.

  Probably got possessed by the devil when he played dungeons and dragons as a kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yevgeny Prigozhin had the training, the alibi, and the jacket but what was his motive?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Prigozhin with a folding chair would be an amazing plot twist for when people get bored of the Ukraine war.

  Seems unlikely though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Map of Eastern Europe and Western Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Switzerland is a straight line, that angle is the actual border with Italy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please stop⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Petition to bury him in an undisclosed landfill somewhere in the desert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon entertains himself at work⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Through the glory of the former empire, most English accents are technically British.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beta Decay is a low-poly dystopian RPG whose grimy cover-shooting shows promise⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  a big open world planet with a dense series of dystopian cities, alongside underground resource-rich zones.

  That is stupidly overambitious and will necessarily lead to a lack of detail and charm.
