Shiftphone is a good alternative but it’s also on the more pricey site.

You could get lucky and get a used one for cheap? Since the battery can be replaced and is usually the only part needing regular replacements every couple of years you should be fine?

Opening the narrative with “I’ve seen things” in this way that people expect the Blade Runner Quote and then ending it with the “you wouldn’t believe” part is genius writing

I just saw the Uber case and realized that this in definitely way differently in the US. I was not aware that completely getting around the law was such a common practice. I thought that Disney thing was a rarity

How often are you reading about someone suing and then that lawsuit (which is already in court) being dropped because they got a better offer for an arbitration/settlement out of court? For me that’s a very common thing to read for bigger cases.

But I agree that forced arbitration with not even a chance to take it to court if you don’t like the offer is horrible for the consumer

Arbitration doesn’t save money. You still need lawyers.

of course - but usually it’s way faster than getting a proper court-ruling - and since lawyers are paid per hour that makes a big difference

Isn’t it often in both parties to settle things out of court? For the one that’d sue it’s usually more money at less cost and the company gets around possibly having a bad precedent set and the bad publicity to potentially losing in court.

This is probably aimed at people creating issues in the hopes of getting a settlement for something that has a slim (but Nonzero) chance to hold up in court.

It’s a company - I think this aims at people only bringing serious claims and reducing the paperwork for them - but since it’s Valve people will glorify everything they do

That guy legitimately made his hobby into his job.

There’s 0 reasons for him to still keep updating the game with as much content as he’s doing except for his own satisfaction. Truly the best developer a game can have

*unless you’re working for public infrastructure, service industry, cultural industry, energy production, some parts of transportation or some parts of manufacturing where you can’t shut down a plant for a single day.

There are so many exceptions to that law I’m really wondering how much difference it would really make it supermarkets and regular shift works would also continue on the weekends - just with the standard 5 days workweek still applying and having to pay a bit bonus for working on Sundays, the same way the other jobs are also getting paid more for Sunday work

So are the city representatives themselves anti-Semitic or is the local police just capitulating before the amount of anti-Semitic people living there?

Yeah those SR-games where amazing storytelling

I’m pretty sure one of the newer add-ons of the original game has controller support as one of its features

Titan Quest is my personal GOAT game. Aged fantastically well, too.

Really interested to see how this will go

My go-to game for the question: “if you could forget a game just to experience it all over again” such a perfect game

Isn’t that how silicon valley worked for years even within itself? Run a loss for long enough until you’ve overtaken the market and then raise prices when the competition has lost their edge.

I think the biggest problem is that there is no disadvantage for getting 3rd place over 2nd place. Sometimes it’s even better to be 3rd and get the easier side of the bracket than going through groups as the 2nd-placed team

If they want to have a RO16 then they should perhaps find a system where they put the group-winners one round ahead without playing while 2nd and 3rd places play each other - or that the third placed games has to play another knockout between themselves to join the others.

It’s horrible that the groups that play last have way more information about which amount of points will be enough to go through than the groups that finish first so it’s totally possible for some of them to just sit back knowing that they are already guaranteed to go through even if they get 3rd place.
