As someone that shopped at both, but preferred Circuit City, I think Best Buy initially did a better job of “wowing” customers and had a better store layout. They also were better at trying to squeeze money out of people and thus were more profitable than Circuit City, so when times got leaner they survived and then had the whole market.

From what I understand, the newest version of Element X paired with Matrix 2.0 will now support voice/video without using jitsi.

Very low bandwidth or resource usage would be some advantages, less so since they made in this java heh.

I did that with buying “one-a-day” vitamins for seniors because they were a quarter the price of standard men’s vitamins. I checked the stats and ingredients, they were about identical and from the same brand.

Check out Quod Libet, it is my current favorite.

I am aware, but Google is the one making this available and it 100% benefits them for developers to use it.

Android Auto is in the only reason I’m not using a de-googled rom. It makes me wonder if Android Auto works fine with no internet connection/SIM. Maybe I could just keep a disconnected “beater” phone for my music and predownload maps with Organic Maps.

I think calling it an anti-piracy measure is being too generous to Google. This is their slimy way to try to get around the measures the EU is enforcing and just to keep their control in general. Every update Google makes to Android brings it further from what I liked about it when it was new.

My friend cross stitched a QR code as a tree ornament and gave it to me for Christmas. It worked, and it sent me to a ridiculous meme video. I admire his dedication to the joke.

Turbo Pascal was great and a big step up over what you could do with BASIC. Good luck with C++.

Man I love that old Atari art.

Isn’t that first artwork from the Atari BASIC book cover? I suffered enough with BASIC on my TI-99 and IBM XT, I can’t imagine how rough the Atari version was.

I know it should be obvious and maybe I missed the sarcasm, but the teaspoon unit is in no way the same as an actual teaspoon utensil. I also don’t use my own feet to measure length.

Depends on the spider. When I briefly lived in AZ we had a problem with tarantulas ending up on top of our cars if we left the light on outside during the night. I knocked off off the car roof and it literally splattered. I felt bad, I assumed they would be fine.

I’ve been playing them since the first game and I don’t think I’ve truly loved any of them since 4. So even though I’ve bought them all thus far, it is pretty easy to skip one of I don’t like where they go. No games series can last forever.

So don’t buy Civ 7, got it. Thanks!

I feel like this error message was targeted at a very specific, very annoying user that can’t be ignored.

It’s too early to be attacking me, Lemmy. My feet are burning from all that boilerplate.
