Don’t forget the lawyers. Where would Nintendo be in 2024 without those guys and gals?!

I imagine they’d have some customers who would flip over that even that it’s the same size portion they wanted to order.

“You ordered the small, but we don’t have small containers.”

“Yeah but it’s not full!!”

I’m not sure about that. Index fans are still waiting for the sequel to their hardware.

I wonder if Gabe/Valve is content with the OLED model as is and doesn’t find a reason to make another so soon.

I always go for 720 or 1080 despite having decent 4K TVs. My reasoning is file size too but because I don’t have a ton of space to spare for all the stuff I want to store. I have about 2TB left but that’s going to get used up eventually.

There are some things I’ll go for the high quality stuff like Super Mario Bros which looks amazing but that’s rare for me.

30GB for one movie is nuts.

Another streaming service that was never needed and shocking going to cost more because the parent company is fucking stupid and greedy as usual.

Damn, I was feeling a little pre-nostalgic for that era.

The screenshots and video on the Steam page doesn’t go into the detail of what you can do when it comes to controlling your Sim-like characters. But this video shows more of that aspect of the game https://youtu.be/BEys39TsRdw?si=t3HU3vFlNO9q0O0T

Granted, it’s a lot of games in one like other top down tycoon manager games and has some elements of tower defense.

Most recent, but not the absolute worst, was ripping my pants at work. I bent down to pick something up and heard the rip. It was over my crotch region too. Thankfully I had boxers on but was still pretty embarrassed.

Thankfully my boss was cool about it and I just drove over to Costco down the street and got a new pair and changed in the back of my car. He make a joke when I got back which was fine.

Space Colony is an older game that was like Sims in space. I got this at Big Lots years ago and played some of it and apparently this is the remastered version on Steam.

Not to mention it was a smart home with all kinds of AI minus the “artificial” part of AI.

Users in my org will fail the test email and then report the email telling them they failed 🤷‍♂️

I worked with adults with developmental disabilities in my early adult life, specifically those with behavioral issues and some with gang affiliations (some of them may have been on the spectrum or may not have but used our program as a way out of jail/prison).

I got punched in the chest, spit in the face, threatened with stabbing, and more. I’m sure at some point I was either slapped or punched in the face too.

Been that way for a while on my iPhone and I’ve never had Premium or whatever the fuck YouTube calls their paid subscription now.

It doesn’t work on music videos or videos that are for the music, like music with an album art in the background unless YouTube hasn’t categorized it correctly.

Close, but it was “don’t be evil”.

Went through this at work and we owned the device and it was a nightmare. They make you wait like 6 weeks for a single email that never came to us and we ended up forgetting about it by the time the 6 weeks was up.

Yeah I’d be suspect of it for that reason. I just now noticed that you said you’re looking and this isn’t a device you currently have. I was thinking you already got this device.

For that reason, I’d recommend against this. Like where I work, when we retire devices, we remove them from our MDM and the same goes for other businesses and school districts. The only (semi) legitimate reasoning I could see for this not being the case is if the business went under out of the blue and the IT just up and left and they and users just grabbed devices on their way out.

Still likely not a legitimate case as those devices may need to be part of liquidation, etc.

But generally these are cases where someone stole the device from an employee like out of their car or the employee stole it from work, either taking it without authorization or not properly returning it when their employment is done, etc. and those cases wouldn’t be favorable to you if you had the device too.

I’d say skip this one and look for another machine instead.

It is more so dependent on the MDM that was used than the machine. Difficult to say without knowing which MDM it is and how it was configured to the computer.

I’d think you could just try to install Linux and if you have problems, then see what to do to bypass it depending on whatever issue it is.

The sellers, they don’t have access to remove the MDM? Was this a stolen device? Or did the company that manage this go out of business or something?

MDM stands for mobile device management. It’s a corporate IT’s way of remotely managing the machine like locking it down from being used or allowing drastic changes to the OS. Depending on the one being used (like Intune from Microsoft), it could be tricky to get around it.

But with most, you can get around it by wiping the OS and starting fresh or getting a new hard drive (if possible).

They are generally dependent on the OS that was installed, but I’m sure one could exist on the hardware level that makes this difficult to bypass by just swapping the OS or hard drive.

I had a S3 back in 2013 and it made me switch to the iPhone and I haven’t really been back since except a Zenfone for a cheap VR headset and a Kindle Fire.

I know lots have changed for both OSes since then for good and bad, but my experience was a flagship Android phone.
