Methinks the neckbeard doth protest too much.

You’re gonna have to be more specific when you talk about ‘prequels’. Now that Solo is out, Star Wars prequels outnumber the non-prequels.

The adapter is completely passive. It just routes the electrical contacts from the SD slot in your camera to the microSD card, so the odds that anything would go wrong with it are pretty slim.

He did not, Demolition Man invented it!

I thought that’s how ‘Worchester’ is pronounced.

Yeah, that response was completely called-for. 

Burying them under a few tons of poured concrete would be a lot cheaper and just as effective. 

Well, I suppose he’s still an improvement over Pope Nazi I.

What the sam scratch is an Interrotron? A Futurama robot? Something out of Fallout? Is there an Enhanced Interrotron responsible for violating Geneva Convention laws on torture?

At home, I use a regular coffee maker with a metal screen filter. No waste other than the grounds, and I toss them into a flower bed. But at my office, they use this Flavia system. They’re basically K-cups in pouch form, and probably just as horribly un-recyclable.

There’s not much to be done to fix the wonky layout or squishy D-pad,  but FWIW, you can retrofit N64 controllers with Gamecube-style analog thumbsticks really easily. I did it with four of my controllers, and it made a hell of a difference. No more slop or dead zones.

That’s cool that you can hack the SNES mini like that, but I gotta wonder at what point does it become more feasible to just do a RetroPie.

Ironically enough, nobody cares that you don’t care. 

Sony’s got their Playstation Now service, which they use to sell us the games we already own, running on hardware that is perfectly capable of reading those disks. They don’t need to bother with little plastic Playstation nostalgia boxes.

No D-pad on my smartphone. Don’t know about yours. 

Well, C Martin Croker passed away a couple years ago. That pretty much put an end to a large number of classic Adult Swim properties. 

Oooooweeeeeeeooooo!

Aliens isn’t a scary movie. It’s an action flick, and action flicks can really benefit from big-ass setpieces, like the fight with the queen at the end.

Over the distances that those little Qi chargers operate, there’s not much power loss. They’re somewhere around 70%-80% efficient compared to a wired connection, depending on the charger and how well it’s magnetically coupled to the phone.

I’ve had a few people here tell me that K-Cups are recycleable now. I don’t know if that’s the case, but dear lord I hope so.
