FYI the Kirkland Signature 2-ply is labels made in Canada with domestic and imported materials. (obviously less Canadian than going with a Canadian brand but still made here)

Good thing as a Canadian I don't care what Americans THINK of us too much. They value their independence so do we.

Firefox was stubborn enough not to support H.265 till JUST recently and only on windows.. Doesn't work with my 4k security cameras as well as Chrome or Safari based browsers.

But ublock origin lite is by the same dev.. Not as many features but it conforms to the new rules and is still much better than not having a blocker if you use chrome or edge.

Nearly all brands have produced unreliable and a reliable series of hard drives.

Really have to look at them based on series / tech.

None of the big spinning rust brands really can be labeled as unreliable across the board

console = network, game = content.. is my argument.

IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.

I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.

Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase.. it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.

Nintendo allowed Sega’s Sonic Heroes to compete with Super Mario Sunshine on their own game conosle

99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform
