Yeah like the Walmart has a whole end cap of Great Value versions of name brand candy, and the prices are like 79 cents or whatever. Which is what the name brands were in the before times.
The best phone I ever owned was a Xiaomi Mi9 that I got in 2020, right before the US government banned Xiaomi products. Got it new at Target for about $90
I had a T-Mobile prepaid plan on a drugstore Android phone from 2010-2012. The data usage app they preloaded on it was almost a day or two behind, so if it showed that you were close to hitting your cap, chances are you probably already hit it if you had been using your phone a lot in the past 24-48 hours. I caught on when the app told me that I had almost two gigabytes left (back when you could stretch a gig out quite a bit if you stayed away from video apps or downloading big files), then I got a text from them an hour later saying that I hit my cap.
Granted I was on a plan that had "unlimited" data that throttled my phone to like 128 kilobits per second when I hit the cap, but it was still deceitful as fuck for people who were on plans that charged extra if they went past their cap.
It's crazy that phone companies are still pulling this shit.
I was gonna say the text for the "ad" looks way too clean and straight, and doesn't match the artifacting of the rest of the image.
12th century peasant mindset lmao.
Reminds me of a video I saw some years back where somebody built a cat maze inside the their walls of their house. Like my first thought was "cool but what are you gonna do if your cat gets hurt or dies in there, or starts using it as their litterbox?"
I have Batocera (Linux-based emulator platform) on a 2011 Mac Mini.
The only caveat is its weak integrated graphics chip that struggles to emulate fifth generation (PSX, N64, etc) and newer consoles, but since I pretty much only play 16 bit and older it's been a solid machine.
I remember when Apple first switched to using Intel processors, people talked about being able to install Linux and other operating systems easily. I guess Apple didn't like that.
I went to Lowes two weeks ago to buy a wall switch and I browsed the Halloween section near where you first walk in. Most of it was already clearanced to half price or more in order to make room for Xmas stuff.
Shit's expensive too, even with the clearance prices. I always wanted to deck out my house for Halloween, but I'd be spending a paycheck or two to keep up with my neighbors, and I'm terrible when it comes to crafting and DIY.
Semi-related: How come it seems like 90% of the people who say they "don't support the Democrats or the Republicans" turn out to be chuds, while 10% are comrades?
I'm obviously exaggerating that number, but any time I hear that take, I have to brace myself because more often than not it's followed up with gross opinions about trans people or immigrants.
