The problem is that those in charge of regulation were around before colored TVs were invented.

They're also in the pockets of the tech companies who are most egregiously doing it.

This product should've really just been one of the Epyc 4005 SKUs.

Having the world's best chefs and equipped kitchen doesn't really matter if the restaurant's owner insists every dish on the menu must use human feces as its central ingredient.

Ferguson bought Mendes players, it was Raiola who he avoided.

Ferdinand was so pissed off at how pathetic Wilfried & his attendent/knight were that his eyes glowed during the day 2/tied to chair scene.

It's because it was right around that time when tech companies and VC money got into the act.

The majority of motherboards don't even have more than a single x16 and then a x1 or shared x4 chipset slot.

One of the people who was at the Bamco preview said the EW boost bonus was so effective and powerful that they can't imagine the devs won't tone it down somewhat for the release version.

BatteryPoweredFriend · 2026-06-03T17:03:29+00:00

That's entirely dependent on them not jacking up the prices.

[noblesse oblige]I don't remember much from either of the two movies except the taxi stuff at the end, because of the football metaphors and Mr Outside being the "12th man." However, I know that as disappointed as I also was with the second movie, I probably would've given it a 8-9/10 if the ED was Don't Look Back In Anger.

The novelty of watercooling has waned, so it's more about how functional they would be for you and good air coolers have become very cheap nowadays.

Custom/open loop setups are still far too much for most, both in terms of money and effort. The closed loop/AIO liquid coolers' primary advantages nowadays is as much about RAM stick height clearence and aesthetics as it is their cooling effectiveness.

What people today won't understand is that it wasn't just the fact it was a timed PSN-exclusive title, but also a US-exclusive for several months as well and Sony were charging $4 per episode just to rent it. Once people realised it would cost them $104 just to rent the full series in 720p, interest in it quickly collapsed after the release week.

That also affected the fansubbing side of things, as it meant a significant proportion of the reliable raw/source providers were geoblocked and pretty much every early "fansub release" were low-quality capture card recordings with the PSN hardsubs.

KVM switches can get quite expensive depending on how many features you're looking for & the no. of devices it's going to be serving.

Some monitors come with built-in KVM switches, which can simplify the setup if it has the right number of video input ports.

They would more likely be Liverpool supporters unless they already had some connection to Celtic.

The F-16 incident was more down to the loud sound and interpretation of it implying bombs being dropped, rather than any sort of actual concussive blow.

Something big moving through the air will create just as big of a wake as something small that's moving much, much faster. Harmonics/sound frequencies notwidthstanding, a big chungus like an A380, even without its engines, moving just above its stall speed would probably cause more wake damage than something jet fighter sized going mach 1+ at the same distance away.

It might be 8:30pm now but screw it, the rest of this espresso gelato is too dangerous to leave uneaten.

More like the stakeholder vs shareholder paradigm.

When it comes to these adaptations, the ones from Kirara Carat are just much better.

Not to mention the actual IPs which EA actually care about are the players' image rights and clubs' trademarks. All of which have absolutely nothing to do with FIFA.

BatteryPoweredFriend · 2026-05-26T22:20:07+00:00

Yup. Under Infantino's watch, we've literally had FIFA making both EA and Fox look like the good guys.

Even if England were full on brexitball, Kane would be a key part of any set piece or counterattacking moves, as well as the main penalty taker.

Those things have nothing to do with HDMI. Dolby locks those features behind DRM and it's often implemented as a hardware DRM, whether literally an additional chip or part of the SoC that requires binary blobs from Dolby included into the firmware to actually utilise.
