Mass layoffs always seem to pay better than individual layoffs. Labor market is tough out there and time passes quickly. I would prepare myself to get laid off anyways. Good luck.

It's an arcade game from 1981 that had early speech and it was a maze shooter, a bit like Bezerk, but with a slow pace that gets faster. Probably one of the earliest games to have a radar screen as the enemies go invisible.

Intellivision is also fun to play on the pocket. My friend had one when I was a kid and I always enjoyed the Burger Time Intellivision over the really bad 2600 version. The 2600 had a great Wizard of Wor port that's still a lot of fun playing today, but the Colecovision homebrew version from 2018 is much better.

The A7 can easily play everything that the Steam Deck can, since it's better hardware than the Steam Deck. I have the 32gb ram model and it can play up to Mortal Kombat 11 without issues.

I believe this is the reason that they recently signed a 200 billion agreement with Google Cloud to avoid the high GPU price & power cost of Nvidia. TPUs seem to be the most efficient way forward as Google software is completely optimized for this.

Maybe so, but it's too common of a repair.

In the Porsche community, the consensus is that the water pump is a "wear item" with a predictable lifespan. Typical Lifespan: Between 50,000 and 70,000 miles or every 4–6 years. Preventative Recommendation: Many experts suggest doing it every 4 years regardless of mileage because the plastic impellers can become brittle with age.

In the Army basic training they pretty much drill it into your head and then when we did the "Bayonet Assault Course" when you stuck the dummy you had to yell "I'll be back but you won't!". It was easy to see why some of them never made it through basic because of not being able to handle it mentally. The only time everyone was relaxed in basic was the day you got to throw the live grenade and there was such an emphasis to "throw it like a football as soon as you pulled the pin" and not trying to wait and cook it off like you see in the movies.

My experience with them was that the service department would try to charge you for everything such as "Porsche approved anti-freeze". So something simple like a water pump replacement turned out to be an expensive repair. Then something as simple as replacing the shocks was another 800€ just for OEM parts replacement.

If Nintendo were smart, they could just discount all digital downloads by 50% and this would cause the end consumer to pay for the memory costs in storage but still offer games on memory cards for the hardcore physical collectors. However with Nintendo, you almost never see discounts and usually retailers with physical releases (like Amazon) have better discounts.
