These both seem to be pretty neutral titles?

I think this will cause as many problems as it solves (from Reddit's POV), going private has always been a panic button for mods when shit hits the fan. Now those controversies will have much longer to build and have news stories written about it first. Short sighted.

In 2009 amd, facing insolvency, sold its entire mobile graphics department to qualcomm for a measly 65million that technology went on to become snapdragon. It's one of the only things that kept amd going at the time, but qualcomm got insanely rich off it.

It's rather poetic to now see intel face a similar decision. According to the article intel is also planning to spin it's chip manufacturing out to its own company which is also what amd did with global founderies around the same time as selling to qualcomm.

And also consider that even if you block out the ad the people around you probably haven't, the most effective ad is the one your friend saw.

There's some cool 5.1 and even 7.1 stuff in classical music (I don't have a a surround sound setup myself but I hear a lot of talk of it).

You can also use a water bottle or watering can, although I can't really recommend that experience but that's what people who are socialized to use them do when they can't afford/install a proper one.

I always thought of it more like "give me some motivation to add more stuff" in that "I turn coffee into code" sense.

I totally agree, I object to the idea that people will just needlessly waste ambulance resources.

It's just not really true, when I broke my foot (as a Canadian) I didn't really consider an ambulance, because I didn't need stabilizing or healthcare on the ride over and i probably didnt want to go to the ER over UC during the height of covid. I just hopped in an Uber, which got me there faster, why would i want the whole gurny and flashing lights. There are certainly people who would have called an ambulance in my situation (and plenty of situations where a broken foot warrants an ambulance too) but there are also plenty of rich Americans who would do that too.

Konami has been in the casino business for about as long as it's been in the video gaming industry.
