  • My Odyssey G7’s panel also fell off 2 weeks before the end of the warranty.

    In addition to that, the Odyssey series also has a weird issue where if certain conditions are met, the entire screen will dip in brightness and display horizontal lines. It’s very distracting. They’re aware of the issue (as many people have reported it) but they aren’t doing anything to fix it. I won’t be buying another.





  • Pretty sure that you get the benefit of the doubt if you had a feasible reason for adding/changing something about your food.

    For example, you could add a laxative to your food/drink and be totally in the clear as long as you labelled your container with your name and maintain that you’ve been constipated. It’s a totally valid reason, plus it was labelled with your name so there’s no reason for anyone else to be consuming it.

    Yes, that’s the entire point. They promote STEM topics to their own youth and funny silly brain-numbing dances to their political opponents.

    In a number of years, China’s workforce will be scientists and engineers while the US will be full of influencers and microcelebrities who provide very little actual value.

    They’re playing the long game.

    I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won’t apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.

    Thor from Pirate Software (a game studio) does this. He has his set up so that if he doesn’t log into a specific server for a year, the source code to his game will be automatically published.

    You could do the same thing. Just grab a super cheap server that checks the last login date and sends out emails.


  • While I agree with your sentiment, this is a terrible take.

    There is always a reason for saying no, whether you want to share it or not. But that takes a backseat here because it’s an open-ended question.

    You’ve answered in a very closed minded way and refused to elaborate on your position, therefore your opinion can easily be thrown away due to lack of evidence. At that point, why comment at all?
