Nintendo can make sure their handheld has affordable hardware yet can play all their AAA games as they were meant to. Steam Deck can't ever have that luxury. Some Steam Deck makers will make expensive ones that can play most of them, some will make cheaper ones that aren't made for those games at all.
This is very difficult to explain to the casual buyer (think parents buying as a present for their kids).
Solar (and perhaps nuclear) to desalinate seawater and refill aquafiers as soon as we desalinate more than we use. This must be government financed projects, since groundwater is the very definition of tragedy of the commons.
This is why Bitcoin was invented.
No, really. We're discussing this on a decentralized technology because we know that centralized control is bad - and that applies to the technology of monetary transfers as well.
Too bad it was then mostly used for speculation instead of actually building up an internal economy where we wouldn't now have to care what itch.io's payment processors think.
For some reason DHL managed to get a null-string into their system a few years back, which meant that any DHL shipments to me - no matter what the seller had entered - had "null" as the receiver in the system.
Everything else was fine, address and tracking numbers sent to me etc - but I did have a few interesting discussions at pickup locations that wanted to see identification matching the name in the system ...
nycjournals.com seems to be an influence operation. The domain is a month old and the about section contains nothing that actually tells you anything about what's behind the site.

Apple would lose such a case in an instant. EU consumer protections applies to the consumer for products bought from a seller within the EU. The laws do not care the slightest whether you're using your devices on vacation or not.
No. That EU-citizen is fully protected by EU consumer laws. Has nothing to do with where that citizen make use of their product.
While a meme, yes. I'm an ex-boss and I'll happily verify that HR works for the company. The function is, "within what the company needs, keep employees happy and content", sure - but at the slightest conflict between company needs and HR needs it's the company needs that matter.
This isn't really supposed to be a secret, but I think we don't talk about it openly enough since every time a discussion like this pops up I see people who have misunderstood the function of HR.
... now what might be a bit more of a secret is how closely companies work together with the unions. Let's just say I've never seen any real union pushback.
I've linked to two different instances of people talking about it, there are of course many more. Thus why I asked you how big this conspiracy of yours would be for all of them to be lying.
What do you see when reading this?

That's ... not how it works. If they did brick the consoles Europeans own they'd likely be breaking EU wide laws, which at the end would end up with the highest court in Europe - the EUCJ.
There's nothing arbitrarily about this. Our consumer protection laws are quite strong.
You have strange opinions regarding kids. Compare the price to a mobile phone.
