The aesthetics and quality of Sony devices have gone down. My dad has bought into the Sony life. He has owned 3 Sony PCs (2 laptops 1 All IN ONE) 3 Sony cameras (1 DSC v1 and 2 handycams) 2 Sony cell phones and a whole slew of other stuff. The 2nd laptop, which was an A series looked really good, and it looked as if…

Well said

As a latin american, I should be offended someone is misrepresenting Futbol.

Good luck learning Japanese! While harder to learn foreign languages as an adult, in the case of Japanese you’re better for it. I tried valiantly to learn in high school for close to the same reasons (50% fascinating culture, 45% JRPGs and 5% Anime interests) and it was seriously the freakin’ weabos in the class…

Cool! In 2060, the store will remain a static, historic reminder of 2017 construction methods and architecture, due to the inability to upgrade anything inside the building.

It’s not specified here, but it’s the same ban they’ve put in place with Islamic countries. They want to ban EVERYTHING that isn’t a mobile phone. Laptops, tablets, Nintendo 3DS/Switch, old Gameboys, Playstation Vita, some cheapo LCD handheld game, e-readers.

“Much like my grandfather when he talked about Pearl Harbor, I did not see this action coming”

Japanese guy wins a race and this guy clutches his Pearl Harbors.

Haggling might be too exciting.

Thanks for transcribing this! I enjoy reading articles about this kind of stuff, but rarely have time to listen to entire audio interviews. I’ve noticed a lot of websites sometimes include interesting info in audio clips that unfortunately I will never hear.

I have the Echo and because of the geek that I am, I changed the wake word to Computer. It sounds much better, to me, than Alexa or Amazon. Computer, lights on. and my house lights up as I walk in at night. I love it.

Literal interpretation of value-added.

Until these cases are a dime in a dozen, we’ll never know for sure.

And let’s not forget Ireland too, right? What Churchill did there pretty much amounts to war crimes. He was no friend to working classes, too - what with him actively trying to dismantle the achievements of Attlee government - can we try to remember that as well?

You’re totally, Churchill should rightfully be lauded for refusing to side with the Nazis but it should also stand his role in the Middle East, British colonization was going on during his time (millions died due to it).

Yeah, but Disney’s really amped up the ridiculous, particularly with the planets’ names. We used to get stuff like Alderan, Mustafar, Yavin, Endor — names that rolled off the tongue. Now we’re getting Ahch-to and Jakku.

Imagine being so furious about being asked to treat minorities like human beings that you write a novel-length post whining about “political correctness.”

“marginalized by political correctness”

What the fuck is the left? You mean normal people?

It happens because of the systemic site design. The platform is designed to empower a very high degree of mob rule. So are the Kinja and Ars Technica platforms in their own ways. (which is why both are also so heavily populated with the same users)
