Copying and pasting my comment from the earlier thread.
Did anyone actually read the article or did y'all just read the headline?
He says probably not, but it doesn't matter, because it's up to the people to rise up and push them out like they've started to as part of the Sanders/AOC rallies, the No Kings protest, and Mamdani's primary victory.

This is based on an inaccurate analysis from a non-expert.
Switch game cards use Macronix XtraROM. These games are rated by the company for data retention shelf life of 20 years at 85°C / 185°F. But it depends on environmental conditions like humidity, and 20 years is an extremely conservative estimate. It's safe to say they will last much longer than that.
DS and 3DS games use an older version of Macronix technology, and critically also write to the cartridge itself. These will likely have issues long before Switch games do, although it should still be a long time.
Magnetic media was rated for a similar lifespan and in most cases still works fine 50 years later. The rare issues with CDs are due to manufacturing defects like glue separation, not the technology itself. These are, again, exacerbated by environmental factors. CDs are 30 years old at this point and the worst iteration of optical media, and the overwhelming majority work fine.
Different technologies, but just included for comparison.
If you're concerned about it, dump them to SSD RAID storage.
Imagine justifying sending someone to a foreign prison for life without a trial, or even possibly enslavement in a place like Libya, and then complaining about being called names.
The first two are like he's trying to manifest it
Seven senators voted for her.
In the New Testament, that stuff all comes from Paul. Paul was a conservative asshole. He was the first evangelical Christian, in both the historical and modern sense.
I know quitting is hard
Uh, you can't just turn in your two weeks when you're in the military. There's a reason why AWOL is a thing. And you can't apply as a conscientious objector to an individual conflict. Even if you apply, it can still be denied.
You have agency
You literally don't, unless you'd prefer prison and dishonorable discharge.
Edit: The thread's about Iran, not whatever pet grievance you have.
This isn't rocket science. Most Americans were (and are) unhappy with the direction of the country and she was the status quo candidate. She literally said she couldn't think of a single policy difference between herself and Biden, an unpopular president. And the tone-deaf joy campaign—give me a break. People were (and are) angry. A populist was always going to win this election, but she didn't campaign as a populist.
Like most Democrats, she also lacked the courage of her convictions, as evidenced by how quickly she backed away from voicing progressive policies from 2020 like Medicare for All. Or maybe her convictions were more moderate and the progressive positions were the ploy? Who even knows? What few meek ideas she did put forward she quickly backed away from after closed-door fundraisers with rich investors.
I voted for her despite all of this. I wrote letters to swing state voters. But it was a pretty grim march to November, because I saw all of these things way before the election and knew with near certainty that she was going to lose.
The ocean needs to hurry up and retake Florida.
It sounds like to me that they're building a new specification like they did with MSX. MSX was wildly successful in Japan.
I'm sure all Xbox Next approved devices will be able to access the Xbox store, along with Steam, GOG, etc. It will almost certainly be a digital device, since it also includes handhelds.
As for your existing physical collection, I can imagine Microsoft releasing an official disc drive accessory that works with any Xbox Next console. There's no reason that wouldn't include handhelds, but of course that would be super clunky.
Jon Hamm will never recover.
But also don't post AI slop, please.
