People seem to forget that the only way to expand storage on a PS4 (until 2017) was to physically replace the internal drive altogether, which required you to also get a flash drive and a PC/Mac to download the OS files and put things in the right folders and so on.

Have you forgotten the PS3 and PS4? The PS3 required an internal drive upgrade as its USB ports were too slow for running games off external storage. Same with the PS4 for the first four years of its cycle - USB external support didn’t come till 2017. Lots of people had to deal with the procedure of setting up a new…

In reality, over 99% of M.2 drives on the market are the 2280 form factor, so the dimensions should not be a real concern for anyone.

I thought it was pretty obvious that those trucks were owned by legitimate authorities like the local police force, and then were abandoned during the fight with ISIS.

Yeah, and despite tough sanctions, Kim Jong Un still managed to get his Mercedes limos after the shipments were bounced between multiple countries.

The same reason why people buy the front wheel drive based BMW X1s and X2s that aren’t even particularly powerful or sporty. It’s all about the brand.

Regarding food, as long as it’s not liquid you can bring pretty much anything into the cabin. However, if it’s an international flight, you’ll likely want to finish eating it before you land, especially if it’s something like raw fruit or a sandwich containing raw veggies. Many countries, including the US, take this…

I like to use the console itself to charge my controllers so that I don't have to occupy more outlets and also so that I don't misplace the controller when I want to play my console again. 

As a software engineer I can tell you that the people with this know how are all guaranteed to be very successful and smart people. Definitely not incel losers.

Almost all developed countries run net trade deficits, especially those which have to import the majority of their energy supplies. Even export powerhouses like Japan have run deficits in recent years, and when they do run a net surplus it’s by a pretty small margin.

Three people in a two seater? That’s asking for trouble right off the bat.

4k smart TVs that do not have crappy slow interfaces are becoming cheaper and cheaper. I just picked up a great Roku TV for less than $300. I expect the market share of sub 4k TVs to fall off a cliff in the next few years, especially budget models that aren't far away from burning out. 

It's still a proprietary OS. More importantly, it doesn't support 4k output of any kind, limiting its appeal. 

To be fair, no Nintendo system supports 4k video (like not even the resolution for just the home screen and streaming apps). So it's really no big loss, especially when smart 4k TVs with built in apps are getting better and cheaper every year. I just bought a Roku TV yesterday and the UI is surprisingly smooth for…

Interesting, which country? Does the government there have different tax structures for hybrid vs nonhybrid cars?

I’d say Teslas are best in their base trims (unless you count higher capacity batteries as upper trims). The FSD package offers very little beyond gimmicks like Summon and self parking. The base trim already has adaptive cruise control and lane keeping which is all I really need for long trips. The base trim also…

What’s even more aggravating is that a single payer healthcare system is actually one of the most business friendly things a country can have (unless you’re in the health insurance industry lol).

If it’s any comfort, PS1 games rarely made any sensible use of the dual analog sticks, due to most games needing to be compatible with the original non analog controllers.

Fun fact - multi monitor split screen is actually possible on some PC games. You just need a utility to have your two displays recognized as a single ultra wide display (e.g. dual 1080p as a single 3840x1080 screen), and then do a vertical split when you launch the game. Tested this in Black Ops 3 and it works very…

In scenarios where ID is merely required to prove a minimum age, such as buying alcohol, I find that the law is rarely if ever enforced unless the individual “looks” young, i.e. could play the role of a teenager in a TV show.
