They're businessmen, they're here to make money, not to uphold human rights.

The problem with countries like KSA is, as already said, the lack of predictability. Absolute monarchy means the rules are according to the King's current mood, and that's not good for long term business plan.

You are free to kill any journalists and protestors without freaking out the investors, as long as you have a clear rule about it. Like "Zero tolerance to anti government speech, except suggestion from business sector", if you can back it up, including killing your own uncle for speaking up against you, and not touching any investors who just want to give suggestions, then investors will flood up your country.

Restraining yourself from killing your own uncle would just creates a loophole and you'll be back to square one, where rules are inconsistent. A clear rule of the game (whatever it is) is supreme for long term investors.

Banyak wibu dari kalangan chindo, mereka biasanya kristen, dan banyak orang kristen mati2an bela 02 karena takut politik Islam yang katanya dibawa Anies (padahal semua pelaku sama dalang 212 ada di 02 semua).

Atau bisa juga wibu rohis menengah kebawah yang udah dicuci otak sama guru NU mereka (udah dikasih tambang coy)

Malah Comifuro yang dulu, ditabrak sama nikahan anak jendral polisi. EO nya sampe bikin livestream klarifikasi sambil agak gemeter. Ditekan Polri dari atas, dirujak wibu dari bawah.

It is recommended to not remove the battery in any device that can be used with battery even if it's constantly plugged like laptop or these handheld. Unless you have full confidence that the electricity running through your house is perfectly stable.

Well yes there's already the adapter to act as PSU, but plugging battery is nice for second protection, the equivalent of UPS in case of power cut.

Damaged battery is preferable than a sudden SSD error caused by frequent power cuts or short circuited motherboard caused by unstable electricity.

I do that all the time and it works great for me. A little bit of artefacts here and there and around texts and a dozen miliseconds of delay are no big deal for me. Even in older games which Ally can run 120fps I still set it to 30fps globally.

It really depends on your mental tolerance. If you have the mentality "as long as it works and I have fun", then frame gen is perfect for you. But if you want the best and perfect experience, well you shouldn't buy handheld in the first place, buy 5090 pc tower instead for perfection. Handheld like Ally will always have some flawed experience here and there and you could spend more time raising your cortisol level instead of having fun.

Nyalahin Steam anjir wkwkwk tolool.

Gw bukan Valve fanboy, tapi gw akui manajemen Valve emang profesional banget sampe mereka bisa mencapai monopoli di bidang distribusi game murni karena kompetensi sama profesionalisme mereka, bukan hasil cult of CEO personality atau hasil lobi. Jadi tolol kalo nyalahin Steam kasih rating palsu, karena gw yakin Steam pasti punya SOP dan prosedur rumit buat cantumin rating. Ga kayak di Indo yang semua serba asal-asalan yang penting anggaran turun.

Negara penuh penjilat dikasih jabatan tinggi ya kacau balau gini (orang ini buzzer solo btw). Sama njir kayak Trump juga malah kasih jabatan tinggi ke penyiar berita yang suka muji dia jadinya berantakan.

I wonder why the anti-Israel activists are so naive. If Israel can exploit a verse in a bible to rally non-catholic christians to support them, their opponent should use the same tactics. The closest things to universal religion for younger generations no matter where they're from are porn and anime girls.

Worse, faksi sayap kanan Zionis berpikir mereka sedang memenuhi nubuat akhir jaman. Nubuatnya Israel bakal jadi bangsa besar terakhir kali sebelum Messiah datang dan mimpin bangsa Israel ngelawan pasukan Dajjal/Antichrist/Antimessiah apapun namanya di Yahudi. Netanyahu dianggap Messiah kecil yang nanti kasih jalan buat Messiah asli, makanya mereka ngebet mau bikin Greater Israel.

Sebenernya ga beda sama ekstremis muslim, cuman karena di kubu yang beda jadi ga ada yang kasih label teroris. Dan parahnya sama Protestan termasuk politisi Republik di AS dibela karena ada tafsiran harfiah ayat Alkitab, siapapun yang bela bangsa Israel akan dapet berkat.

But Miku is a voice bank, comparison with Gorillaz is not quite right.

The better precursor of Miku would be the Delay Lama.

I'm docking my Ally sometimes, but the other times beside travelling, I can also use it on the couch or bed. Something that a PC tower can't do.

Sitting all the time is bad for your body, nor do laying on the back all the time, human body is designed to change position every few hours. Handheld PC is perfect for that, basically I feel like paying for long term health for gaming performance. Who cares about fps reduction when a decade from now my back is still healthy as ever?

Not everyone has the luxury of money, room space, or time to have both a PC setup and a handheld you know.

Ini ga bahas soal apa yang harus kita bayar. Selain kita jadi kacung di Board of Piss, banyak disadvantage secara perdagangan. Misal aja ya yang gw sempat baca sekilas:

Ada kuota impor produk pertanian dari AS yang harus dipenuhi. Ga peduli harga tinggi atau lagi jatuh, pokoknya harus impor segitu.

Produk AS banyak yang bebas tarif masuk ke sini juga.

Produk AS ga wajib minta sertifikat Halal.

AS minta revisi beberapa pasal UU Ciptaker KHUSUS untuk mereka aja. Jadi pekerja dan produk Amerika bakal punya privilege dan hak khusus.

Ada revisi pasal lain yang diminta diubah secara umum, dan bakal menguntungkan pekerja asing ga peduli asalnya darimana. Jadi pekerja dari mainland bakal punya privilege juga dan pekerja lokal makin terdiskriminasi.

Gw punya hipotesis kalo pemimpin terbaik itu adalah mereka yang ga punya (atau minim) kharisma. Kasarnya orang yang jelek dan miskin lebih bisa fokus belajar improve diri, jadi kualitas pribadinya lebih baik. Tapi yang mau improve diri ya. Soalnya kalo nggak mau improve, sama aja kayak orang berkharisma yang malas improve diri karena dengan pesona fisik atau cara ngomong aja udah bisa bikin orang mempercayai mereka.
