FWIW, Amazon bought the James Bond IP last year (and also owns MGM Studios as of 2022). The relationship between this game and Amazon may be nothing more than that.

Guessing the deadly nightclub fire in Switzerland last week.

I heard a joke once: Man turns on computer. Goes to edit settings. Needs a patch to fix a system deficiency. Can't find any other solution. Windows says, "The fix is simple. Only a system administrator can make these changes. Go call one. That should take care of it." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But Windows... I am the system administrator." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Upgrade to enterprise for $199.99. Curtains.

Well yeah, you don't want the undesirables to benefit from healthcare, right? On my tax money? continues to spend thousands on insurance

God it killed me a bit just to type that

And a couple of them (PS3, 360) aren't even pixelated.

Plus the Switch is a handheld, which makes it a weird distinction to make.

Some electric toothbrushes have these gimmicky features where they can map your mouth while you brush and report on your hygiene habits to tell you how effectively you're brushing, or even nag you if you don't brush enough. Guessing that's the kind they have.

So for the manufacturer, why allow the device to simply use a local account to track that information, when instead they can force you to register an account online and associate your brushing habits with all of the other shadowy telemetry data being collected about us online?

Can we start a petition to move September/October/November/December to have September land where July currently is, and then current November and December become Undecember and Duodecember to make the numbers line up again?

Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They're just adorable.

I'm not a linguistics expert and this is just me offering an unsolicited layman's opinion, but perhaps the nuance comes from whether or not one might still conceive of the words being related despite the acknowledged difference in definition?

For example, "bat" (the animal) and "bat" (the implement) are homonyms that are used to describe two clearly different things. But maybe one might think of "scale" being connected between its various uses when it is not. "Scale" (the measuring tool) uses plates which are similar to the flat plates of fish scales. Or that to "scale" a distance is like measuring a "scale" of height. Something like that.

Even young people who grew up with technology.

There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets.

By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.
