Who buys them?

Play Nice by Jason Schreier mentions that the "Pay to Win" style of monetization is very popular in Chinese markets.

I'd wager that, since other markets strongly oppose that, public companies focused on profits over player sentiment needed to find a middle ground. (That dichotomy is the main focus of the last half of the book)

We revolted when Battlefront 2 had loot boxes at the center of game progression, so companies hoping to make the most money in both markets need to make the purchasable items either purely cosmetic or only helpful in early game progression (starter packs).

Oof. This one feels like an insult that a DM might take personally before realizing it was meant for the NPC

Some of them are ISPs. I've received mail from both Verizon and AT&T about getting a 5G Internet "connection". It just connects to the cell towers.

Someone came by so I demoed one and it was awful. The latency was, predictably, unhinged.

Yeah, but I suppose it might be for the people who are botting

I love that AMD is comparing this to the 7900 GRE. That was the card that I bought, and I just assumed that everyone else forgot about it.

The CEO of Framework said that this was because the CPU doesn't support unsoldered RAM. He added that they asked AMD if there was any way they could help them support removable memory. Supposedly an AMD engineer was tasked with looking into it, but AMD came back and said that it wasn't possible.

Someone who is planning to commit crime could do so from your home IP address. At best, the police/FBI recognize that you didn't do the crime. At worst, you get charged for something you didn't do.

Why have we stopped talking about how the $15 ~~TPU~~ TPM can make upgrading older systems possible? Does that not work anymore?

Similar experience to my current campaign. Started in a tavern, someone got punched.

Any one know how heavy those are? Hinchcliff made the joke about it buffing out and now I'm wondering if it may have dented the front wing
