Our machines have the ability to turn the buzzer on after each cycle, but it's not sticky. Given how far away from everything else the laundry room is, even with the chime you can't really hear it. So I have it set to just ping our phones when a load is done

BART wrote a PDP8 cross assembler in the late 90s, that they still use today.

Fwiw it shows the charge % to the next pip down next to the ammo counter

Tbh it's more like quake 1 than Doom

Which isn't a bad thing, but I think everyone would have been perfectly happy with just Doom: Eternal 2

These don't really feel like a garden hose, best comparable thing is the spray from a good impact or rotor sprinkler.

I didn't get the long nut because it wasn't an option when I bought them a few years ago haha

I used to feel the same way, going as far as to drill out the flow restriction devices, but I found a shower head I actually like a few years back, a high Sierra brand one, and even it's lowest flow model feels powerful

Updates that fix bugs come to PC far earlier than Xbox sometimes never coming at all. Games, when not on gamepass, even from Microsoft, are typically cheaper on other platforms. And sometimes they just don't even put content on the Xbox

Last fall was halo 2's 20th anniversary. If you only played Xbox, you could have forgotten it. Microsoft did nothing on the Xbox about it. But on PC, they promoted the released E3 demo levels

Finally there's the lack of investment in any hardware upgrades. The controllers still use the same crap alps stick modules, the vibration is still two big dumb motors, and the buttons are still just graphite pads on a PCB. Even on the $200 elite controllers. There's no single channel wireless headset available first party, just stereo ones, and the add on storage still remains horrifically overpriced years later

Then why are you treating us like second class citizens?
