No, but with how many conductors there are in it and how many standards it theoretically can support, they can be pretty creative with what and how they connect beyond standard USB.

What is it, JavaScript?
Oil and automotive companies literally tore most of public transport out in US way back when.
They would invest into the local tram companies, buy them out, then close and tear out the lines.
Reason is "Game state is hard".
If you want to save, you gotta be able to take the current state of everything and serialize it, then read what you've serialized and put it back. If you only do checkpoints, you can make assumptions about game state and serialize less.
Generally, it is much easier to develop AI and such when you never have to pull it's state out and then restore it, because if that is done improperly you get bugs like the bandits in STALKER forgetting they were chasing you after a quicksave-quickload because their state machine is reset.
With checkpoints, you can usually say "right, enemies before here? Dead or dealt with. Enemies after here? they're in their default state. Player is at this position in space. Just write down the stats and ignore the rest."
And autosaves just make it one less menu to fiddle with.
Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah. Sidenote, I hate the trend of bike lights nowadays to come with horns.
I just want to make people in front of me aware I exist, I don't want to alert the whole fucking street!
Yes, this is it. I had to do some unspeakable things to lemmy via stylus to get it to look decent.
Yeah. The only mode of transportation that I own is an ebike. And I could probably cut the "e" part out without too much fuss.
Good panier bags make all the difference though.
Renting is exactly what we did :D Can't very well bring a whole ass car with you on a plane. Nor should you want to.
I mean, an ebike + light rail is enough to explore a city and it's surroundings, but I can think of a few places I've visited in my life that would be basically inaccessible without a car.
...or a very, very long roundtrip on train, I suppose. For like two of them.
Still, shouldn't need a car in an urban area.
Hey, doesn't mean you can't aspire to be a systems architect :D
You know, make enough decisions that weren't perfect in the long term and you'll learn something! ...totally not speaking from experience, no.
God damned wayland.
