This article has a picture of it. The main giveaway is the melting SNES.

It's geolocked to the U.S., so it's important to note that they would need to use a VPN to bypass it during setup.

Anyone working at Fox News who thinks they're involved in reputable journalism clearly doesn't have the objectivity needed for proper reporting.

Fucking over Ukraine by cutting off support and pretending that Russia's invasion has any legitimacy whatsoever means that without Europe's involvement there won't be Ukraine–Russia talks, but rather Trump having a wet dream has he sees Russia follow in Israel's stead by annexing Ukrainian territory, stealing its natural resources, and ethnically cleansing its population, much as Trump would do to Canada too if he could.

Switched to Apple Maps a few months ago, just one more reason to never switch back.

Using life imprisonment to maintain a low-cost source of labor without giving undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship; sounds familiar...

With the electoral college though, it's especially important to get people from states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Georgia to vote for Biden instead of Trump.

For those worried about blocking certain viewpoints, it's important to note that the sources on the list aren't there for the unpopularity of their opinions, but rather the frequent publication of misinformation. For instance, Fox News, despite its frequent bias, is not one of the publications on the list.

As others have noted, the list can essentially be summarized as state-sponsored, tabloid, and extremist media outlets that, intentionally or not, have editing standards that result in misinformation on a regular basis.

It doesn't seem like the suggestion would be to destroy cultural landmarks, or even the majority of commercial ones, just the key components of the island's chipmaking industry that would incentivize an invasion by mainland China. It's an outcome that no one wants, but remains sufficiently feasible so as to be effective in preventing such an invasion in the first place. If the current CCP is bad, one that directly controls the majority of the world's chipmaking industry would be far worse.

On iOS at the very least, being unable to download apps from a source other than Apple is monopolistic behavior, as it does not allow the free market to determine what the added fee for app hosting and payment processing should be (versus an artificial 30% fee that bolsters Apple's profit margins), as well as limiting what apps are or aren't available on the basis of Apple's own app store policies. Apple can run their app store as they see fit, but as a consumer I should have to option to download apps from competing app stores.

BlastEm is the one I use; it's both open source and cycle accurate.

While the paid tier for NZBGeek is a good deal, I also use DrunkenSlug, Miatrix, and NZB Finder since they sometimes have releases that are missing on NZBGeek. Tabula Rasa isn't bad either, although didn't seem to have anything missing from the other ones I use when I tried it.
