afaik linux players can still play older battlefields, like battlefield 4, which is probably superior to 2042

it's the right kind of ice though

These European Citizen Initiatives don't need a majority citizen vote to be considered. That would be ridiculous.

then you need to buy 6x more alcohol, which is clearly not worth it

The frogs turning gay story is actually mostly real. Atrazine is a herbicide widely used in America and a few other countries but banned in the EU. It has polluted a ton of soil and ground water. It's an endocrine disruptor and turns frog intersex or hermaphroditic. It also has effects on humans. The way it passed the EPA is through a whole bunch of lobbying and "we let the company investigate themselves and they said it was fine".

true here in germany

everything turns to bacon in the end

Just think of all the incredible engagement players will feel as they gamble their latest limited edition skin away which they bought with their mom's credit card or their first independent wages.

But hey, at least the slot machine has all your favorite characters and also streamers who have sold their soul. Market research shows that people with dysfunctional impulse control are much more easily exploited that way.

Life can be cruel.

phones are already very full and dense, and a headphone jack is a very large component. plus, the Bluetooth is simply part of the small SoC, it's a microscopic size. That doesn't mean I prefer Bluetooth, but it makes some sense.

as someone has been fiddling with dongles for years, it's not that bad, and you can just permanently connect your headphones to your dongle. the apple dongle is excellent and beyond enough for iems and a lot of headphones. I personally have one dongle + iems for my phone and another dongle + headphones for my PC, and that setup works really well for me. You might want to consider it. Otherwise, those big beefy Bluetooth headphones might be semi-repairable, and there are of course also Fairphone Bluetooth earbuds that are apparently fairly repairable (though I know nothing about those). At least you can replace the batteries and the ear tips or pads, and that's usually enough to last you a decade with these things.
